My finger nail bed has some reddish coloration just below the tip. It has a few vertical lines that look like splinter hemorrhages. It hurts a bit, while working or when pressed. Can it be nail psoriasis?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. If the skin around the nail appears red and puffy, this is known as inflammation of the nail fold. It may be the result of lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Infection can also cause redness and inflammation of the nail fold. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
