Psoriasis Fingernail

How can I treat my nail psoriasis?
My left index fingernail is getting worse and worse as the weeks go by, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that there’s something wrong with it to other people. I have a few other nails on both my hands and feet that have nail psoriasis as well.
How can I treat it? I don’t get to see a doctor until I return home in a bit over 2 weeks, but even still it’s tough to get a dermatologist. I have topical cream for skin…but I can’t exactly get THAT in my nail…can I?
First, your nail is porous and will absorb the cream, so yes, go ahead and rub it into the nail.
Secondly, I’m sorry to hear you have psoriasis. There are no easy answers for this disease and you’ll find that it takes some trial and error to find out what works for you.
Since psoriasis is an autoimmune disease (meaning that your own immune system is attacking your body), your best bet is to make an appointment with a rheumatologist. He/She will have better strategies for treating the entire disease, rather than just your skin and nails, which are simply the visible signs of the disease.
Good luck.
