From Feeling a little itchy and can see where the gu... by Sherry

Man, that was the worst part for me. The itching... I used to have it under my fingernails as well. Almost to the point of losing a few nails. I did a huge change with no sugar, bread, pasta, and very little fruit. Sugar is horrible for us. This totally worked, but I also take Moringa as well. My psoriasis is pretty much gone. Even on my scalp.

my toenails are destroyed and people think I have a toe nail fungus coz it looks the same ...but this is not the case. I do BJJ so always have to scratch them away or tape them up... such a mission ... on top of that my feet are always cracking...

Jorge Ayuso - I am sorry, Neil! I hope you improve fast. Good luck!!

From I struggle with psoriasis on my feet and hands.... by Louise Aspbury

Tracey @tracey42

My toe nails especially the big toe nails are very uncomfortable the psoriasis seem to lift the nails of the nail bed and they are very thick ridged and discoloured, I have never found a treatment that helps but I got brave and found a therapist who was happy to give me a pedicure and I had geleration nail gel applied which helped me feel a bit better about them . I used to receive chripody and once saw a podiatrist as part of a rheumatology appointment but that seems to have all stopped without paying to go private

I struggle with psoriasis on my feet and hands. My right foot is particularly bad as well as the tips of my toes. My big toe nails are now being effected quite badly. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to treat the toe nails?

Am I the only one that keeps 2 nails (thumb and pointer) longer when trimming? Like coke nails -- except mine are for grabbing flakes.

I've had Psoriasis nail since I was 15. It's been misdiagnosed until I was 21. In this time of no treatment my nails have ended up falling off. Some are healing but they don't look normal. Anybody else have this type? Its less common, feeling alone

Nail psoriasis can alter the way your nails look. In some cases, they get thick and change color or shape. They can also feel tender and be painful. As psoriasis affects the nail as it grows, nail psoriasis can be difficult to treat. Look for advice and share your experiences with nail psoriasis with the community here.
