  • Title: The treatment of psoriatic nail dystrophy with intradermal steroid injections.
    Author: Peachey RD, Pye RJ, Harman RR.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1976 Jul; 95(1):75-8. PubMed ID: 952744.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-seven patients with psoriatic nail dystrophy were treated with intradermal nail-fold injections of either triamcinolone acetonide or triamcinolone hexacetonide, using the Port-O-Jet needleless injector. Mild nail-matrix changes showed a very good response to treatment, whilst nail-bed and/or hyponychial changes causing onycholysis and the more severe types of dystrophy usually showed little improvement. Although in occasional cases this may be a useful form of treatment, we would not recommend its general use in patients with psoriatic nail dystrophy.
