Is your Nail Fungus actually Psoriasis?

A new study in Mycoses reveals a strange connection between nail fungus and Psoriasis.

One can easily be misdiagnosed as the other.

And because the treatments used are polar opposites, if you’re misdiagnosed, your condition may grow much, much worse.

Psoriasis is known for causing inflamed skin, but it can also affect your nails, leading to thickened, brittle, and discolored growth — just like nail fungus.

This similarity often leads to misdiagnosis.

And that’s where the real danger begins.

Doctors often treat psoriasis with immune-suppressing medications, which weaken the body’s ability to fight infections — making fungal nail infections much worse.

To understand the scale of this problem, researchers analyzed 13 high-quality studies covering 2,751 psoriasis patients and 10,967 non-psoriasis individuals.

What They Found:

• Psoriasis patients were 1.68 times more likely to develop nail fungus.

• Among those who weren’t initially suspected of fungal infection, the risk jumped to 1.78 times higher.

So, if you have psoriasis with nail changes, don’t assume it’s just psoriasis. Get tested for fungal infection before starting treatments.

And be cautious of immune-suppressing medications — they may make fungal infections far worse by stopping your immune system from protecting your nails.
