Cutis. 2023 Jun;111(6):295-296. doi: 10.12788/cutis.0782.

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging technology that can visualize nail morphology in diseases such as psoriatic arthritis or onychomycosis. We recommend removal of glitter nail art to properly assess nail pathology and decrease diagnostic delay.
