Nail psoriasis

[peeky2007]

Hi, I suffer with psoriasis of the nail bed which is resulting in my nails becoming detached from the nail bed. Although this isn't painful in itself, it does mean I catch my nails and that is painful. Is there any effective treatment for this condition please?

Thank you for your question. Treatment of nail psoriasis can be tricky. Ask your GP or dermatologist to prescribe dermovate scalp lotion or Enstilar foam. Methotrexate and Otezla tablets and biologics injections work better.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
