SUMMARY.– Fingernail growth has been studied in psoriatic subjects receiving systemic therapy with methotrexate, azathioprine and corticosteroids. Greatest suppression of growth was found with methotrexate whilst, a significant though less marked decrease was seen in the azathioprine treated group; corticosteroids appeared to have no effect.
