I had psoriasis

Hi kito4, I really really hope this works for your son. Keep us updated :) I know how horrible is psoriasis. I had it for more than 13 years on my body but it only affected my nails once, few months ago and, like I said, I completely healed my pitted nails with neem oil. So far it did not return on my nails.

Hi guys I have had nail psoriasis on every toe nail and every finger nail since I was about 7. When I was 18 I started using the sunbeds and they went away during this period. Since I didn't like using sunbeds I stopped, and they came back. I bought a uv light machine for gel nails online, this has seemed to help again. There isn't much research done for uv therapy and when I saw the dermatologist they said there wasn't much they could do. After being on every medication, cream and diet you can think of that was supposed to have aided my nails, the UV therapy is the only thing for me which has helped.

Taking Vitamin D supplements has helped a lot in my case. A routine blood test last year revealed a Vitamin D deficiency and I started taking supplements after that. A few weeks later my plaque psoriasis began to improve. The nails took several months to show signs of improvement but now they are almost completely clear.

I know this sounds daft, but how are you filing them with the glass file? On the top I.e the whole nail, or across the end like normal? I have two toe nails about half a centimetre thick, and others are following suit. I call them the blades....

Just replying for those who are looking for glass nail files, you can find many on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Crystal-Natural-Manicure-Alternative/dp/B00X6DVVHE/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=beauty&rps=1&tag=zenhangover-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1491848664&sr=1-5&keywords=glass%2Bnail%2Bfile&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&th=1 Neem oil as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YHZCJ7G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&tag=zenhangover-20&psc=1 I've had bad nails for ages, currently trying neem oil and UV therapy to see what helps, will let you all know if any progress happens! To those who say it takes forever for the nail to grow - you are not exaggerating, but I find using a growth serum works to help speed up the process! https://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-Nailgrowth-Miracle-Serum/dp/B0046MGLC4/ref=sr_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&tag=zenhangover-20&qid=1491848946&sr=8-9&keywords=nail+growth

Elbows, knees and scalp, since I was 7 years old - I am now 50 and it has never gone!. In the middle of a flare up now after using a produc

So, in follow-up to my post a couple of years ago, I didnt end up having psoriatic arthritis after all, and started treating my worst nail with betnovate scalp lotion. The nail is finally growing again after years of just shedding from the top. Application only once or twice a week after showering, as it soaks into the nail and stays there a while. I hope this continues to works as it appears to be
