Question: Are there any remedies for Nail psoriasis? I have psoriasis of the nail, where my toe and finger nails are thickening, and growing away from the skin underneath. The doctor has laughed at me and told me it's nothing but it bothers me, as it's not pleasant to look at. I want to know if there are any remedies out there that people use to treat psoriasis of the nail, especially herbal or alternative remedies.

Answer: Unfortunately there are no useful remedies specifically for this, not using conventional medicine and of course nothing at all useful in the alternative remedy line. The problem may be suppressed by cytotoxics, but these are only justified if they are being used anyway for some other more serious element of the condition such as psoriatic arthritis.

Question: What to do for mild psoriasis of nail? I have mild psoriasis. The doctor thinks I have it on my nails. If this is true, do you know of any kind of medicine for the nail? The doctor I saw was one of those holistic people who doesn't believe in harsh medicines. No it can affect the nail and cause athritis as well in some cases, like mine. My problem is not very severe as some cases are. In fact, I don't think its recognizable. I just want my hands to be as beautiful as possible. Thanks.

Answer: I thought It was a skin disease?

Question: I have a pustular psoriasis in my nails both hands and feet whats the best product to buy and how can i order?

Answer: It's hard to say what the best product is, since what works for one person doesn't always for another. Worse is sometimes what works great for one person makes someone else flair up even more.

Question: I have nail psoriasis, and was wondering if you can get fake nails for men, that will be hard to detect? It's just that I have an overseas conference to attend in a couple of weeks, where i'll do a lot of networking, and i'm concerned that my ugly nails will put people off (despite it being completely non-contagious, some people are too quick to judge...that's life). Is it possible for a man to get fake nails (obviously cut short like normal men's nails), that would be pretty much un-detectable from real nails? I'm hoping for a short-term solution while I work on 'fixing' the nail psoriasis in the long term. Even if it's doable, I dunno if i can work up the guts to walk into a beauty salon and ask!

Answer: I understand how people are so quick to judge. It's natural human instinct. Actually, there is fake nails for men. There is thousands of male grooming stores that can do it. I would suggest doing a couple google searches to see if any places come up. I'm not quiet sure if the nails would be noticeable. It mainly depends on your skin tone and natural nails. If you have a medium to dark skin, they'll be more noticeable.

Question: what is the best way to control or minimize nail psoriasis? I have nail psoriasis on 2 of my fingernails ..it seems to be getting worse...what can I do?

Answer: Treatment. Prescribed treatment depends on a patient's medical history and current condition, age, gender and the severity of the psoriasis. Generally, psoriasis treatment begins with options that cause the least amount of collateral damage, progressing toward more toxic treatment as necessitated by the severity of the psoriasis. The most commonly prescribed treatments are listed here in order of increasing potency and risk to health. * Topical variety. The mildest form of treatments, topical remedies for psoriasis include corticosteroids (commonly applied twice daily), coal tar, anthralin, retinoid creams and moisturizers. Moisturizers soothe dry, cracking and itchy skin. In addition to these functions, the medicated ointments also aim to reduce the acceleration of the skin cell cycle. These ointments are not without their potential side effects, however. Extended use of corticosteroids, for example, can lead to thinning and/or discoloration of skin. * UV therapy and photochemotherapy. The power of sunlight to fight psoriasis has been recognized for over a century. However, excessive exposure can lead to outbreaks of psoriasis, not to mention more serious health concerns like melanoma. Doctors often suggest that patients increase their exposure to natural UV (within safe limits, of course), and also prescribe artificial UV treatment focusing on the specific affected areas. Doctors not only prescribe UV treatment to some patients, but also prescribe it in tandem with oral drugs to create a synergistic effect. The result of photochemotherapy is the decreased production of skin cells in the skin experiencing the outbreak of psoriasis. However, since these treatments ultimately can lead to the development of skin cancers, they are generally recommended only for more serious cases of psoriasis or after other, less severe treatment options have been exhausted. * Pills or injections. When less toxic treatment options do not yield results fighting psoriasis, doctors turn to various other medications to combat the psoriasis. Some, like retinoids, have a history of fighting skin disorders due to their ability to curb the production of skin cells. Immunosuppressant drugs are often used to combat psoriasis because of their ability to inhibit the immune system's mistaken attack on healthy skin cells. Doctors sometimes even rely on drugs whose historical use hasn't been dermatological, but whose application to psoriasis has been successful when other treatments have failed. However, these treatments are the final choice for a reason - toxicity. Blood and liver tests become routine when you rely on these medications.

Question: Does eating pumpkin seeds really help relieve nail psoriasis? I've read on a forum that nail psoriasis improves if you eat just a small spoon of pumpkin seeds each day. Has anyone tried it and knows if it works? Do you know other things that can help with this condition?

Answer: According to the book I am reading about yeast (candida), pumpkin seed is good for helping cure that - in conjunction with other foods and spices. As candida may be the cause of psoriasis of all types, that would explain the connection. www.hufa.org - the yeast link, has some basic info on candida.
