Nail changes: Are somewhat typical in psoriasis. Make sure you follow up with your PCP or dermatologist as newer treatments may be needed.

Greetings! I have psoriasis. I have a patch of psoriasis on my arm slightly less than the size of a quarter. For at least two weeks maybe three weeks there has been a scab over the spot. It will bleed sometimes. It is not like the typical psoriasis of flakey skin. I have applied neosporin ointment and triamcinolone cream. What is the issue? Treatment? Is there a way to share a picture? I have never used this service before! This is a first experience! Small sore on right forearm?
