Suggest Treatment For Nail Psoriasis

Hello, I am 28 years old married woman. I have been suffering for dermatological problem for long time. One of Asian doctor diagnosed me as nail psoriasis but American doctor think it is not psoriasis. But their treatment doesn t work. Now I feel sudden burning sensation on lateral thigh, just for few second, just one pinch area but painful burn. Is it any neurological problem ? I am very disappointed.

Hello,

The treatment options for nail psoriasis include the following-

He may go for topical corticosteroids(such as clobetasol), intralesional corticosteroids, psoralen plus ultraviolet light A (PUVA), topical fluorouracil, topical calcipotriol, topical anthralin,topical tazarotene, topical cyclosporine,vitamin D, or retinoid creams that you rub into your nail and cuticle every dayavulsion therapy, and systemic therapy for severe cases.

Your doctor may call these "topical" drugs. For nail psoriasis, he or she may suggest a corticosteroid.

Your doctor may call these "systemic medications." Some examples are:

Acitretin (Soriatane), Apremilast (Otezla), Cyclosporine (Sandimmune), Methotrexate.

But all of these drugs are toxic and should only be used under strict supervision of a doctor and in the recommended doses only. Please visit your dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
