To Compare the pragmatism of Ultrasonography versus Dermoscopy in diagnosing a case of psoriatic nail disorder

Abstract

Nail diseases are mostly diagnosed on the basis of clinical examination and biopsies. Still, there is a need for noninvasive methods to complement clinical examination of the nails. Ultrasound and Dermoscopy may provide an appropriate and more widely available alternative. So, hereby we report a case of 34-year-old male who presented with Erythematous scaly plaques, distorted toenails with severe arthritis since 2years diagnosed by using both ultrasound and dermoscopy.
