Journal: Skin appendage disorders
Published Date: Nov 14, 2023

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of nail psoriasis is challenging. Systemic therapies may be difficult to justify, while topical therapies may be sup-optimal. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injections are recommended as first-line therapy in cases with less than 3 nails involved; however, limited studies are available. This study was conducted to evaluate the reduction in NAPSI (Nail Psoriasis Severity Index) with TA injections in patients with isolated nail psoriasis.
