Özet

Background and Aim: The use of dermoscopy in nail diseases is quite recent. Dermoscopy allows a better visualisation of abnormalities of the nail bed and matrix in case of atypical clinical features in psoriatic nail. This study aimed to determine the frequency of findings in psoriatic nail by dermoscopic examination, to compare dermoscopy with clinical examination and to investigate the relationships between the indicators of disease severity.
