Nail psoriasis can occur at any age, associated or not to skin and/or arthropathic psoriasis. The frequency, severity, and association of nail psoriasis with skin and/or joint psoriasis are different in the different age groups, as it is the approach to the disease, since choice of therapy is quite difficult in both age groups. This chapter will review nail psoriasis in children and elderly (people older than 60 years), using the data found in the literature and my two-decade personal experience in an outpatient consultation for nail diseases.
