General treatment: If the patient has obvious triggers, remove the triggers in time; if caused by drugs, consult the doctor to adjust the medication or stop the medication; if there are often sucking and biting the nails, wearing shoes improperly and other bad habits, it is recommended to improve the daily behavior habits.
2. Medication: Oral vitamin E can be taken to accelerate nail growth; oral glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, dexamethasone, etc., for the treatment of nail dystrophy associated with lichen planus, psoriasis and other dermatological diseases; topical glucocorticoids can be used to inhibit local inflammation, such as mometasone furoate cream, hydrocortisone cream, etc.; topical calcium-modulated phosphatase inhibitors, such as tacrolimus cream and other treatments.
