MRCP UK EXAMINATIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -NAPSI is very simple to understand: the higher the score, the more severe your nail psoriasis is. A score of 0 means you have no signs of the condition, while higher scores indicate more significant symptoms. The index is helpful for people receiving psoriasis treatment, as well as people in clinical trials.

Detailed explanation-2: -Injections of corticosteroids (or another psoriasis medication): These injections can effectively treat the buildup under your nails, nail ridges, thickening nails, and separating nails (when the nail lifts up from the fingers or toes).

Detailed explanation-3: -For psoriasis affecting the nail matrix only, the recommended first-line treatment is intralesional steroid injections through the proximal nail fold; 3 the injection of triamcinolone acetonide (maximum of 0.1-0.5 mL every 4-8 weeks) is still the most common method.
