Injectable treatments for nail psoriasis typically include corticosteroid injections and biologic medications. Corticosteroid injections are delivered directly into the nail matrix (the tissue under the skin at the base of the nail where new nail cells grow) to help treat various symptoms including:

• Nail buildup
• Ridges
• Thickening
• Nail separation Some newer biologic treatments have shown better results for nail psoriasis compared to older systemic medications. Common biologics used include:

• Cosentyx (secukinumab)
• Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa)
• Taltz (ixekizumab)

It's important to note that nail treatments requiring an internal approach often take time to show results - you'll need to be patient while waiting for the normal-looking nail to grow out.
