Nail psoriasis improvement in a patient treated with fumaric acid esters.
Nail psoriasis is common in adult psoriatic patients and it causes serious psychological and physical distress. Topical treatments such as corticosteroids, calcipotriol, retinoids, and 5-fluorouracil have limited efficacy and are not without side effects. Relative effective systemic treatments are ciclosporin, methotrexate and acitretin, all of which have a serious toxicity potential. Biologics in the treatment of nail psoriasis have been the subject of recent research, but their cost-effectiveness is questionable. We present a case of psoriatic nail disease which improved greatly on treatment with fumaric acid esters (FAE).
