What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an immune disease & the cause is unknown.  It is unfortunately a condition that you have to learn to live with for the rest of your life.

Common symptoms include:

  • Pain along the nail edge
  • Redness and swelling
  • Drainage or pus
  • Throbbing or pressure
  • Difficulty walking or wearing shoes

There Is No Cure, But There Are Amazing Treatments.

Essentially your immune system mistakes cell markers, especially on the skin as a foreign or unwanted substance. It then proceeds to attack the skin. Psoriasis is not contagious.

Psoriasis is though to be a genetic component which is most likely in people who contain certain microscopic cell markers that are not present in everyone. It is also linked to various environmental factors such as stress and lack of oxygen, temperature and many more. So don’t blame your parents just yet!

Understanding Psoriasis on the Feet

What is Foot Psoriasis?
Foot psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by an overactive immune system that accelerates skin cell growth. On the feet, it commonly affects the soles, heels, and toenails, resulting in thick, red patches covered with silvery or white scales. In some cases, the toenails may become discolored, thickened, or brittle, causing discomfort while walking.

Why Foot Psoriasis Can Be More Painful
Unlike other areas of the body, the feet bear weight and experience constant pressure and friction from walking, standing, and wearing shoes. This makes psoriasis on the feet particularly painful, often leading to cracks, bleeding, or soreness, which can interfere with daily activities and mobility.

Importance of Professional Psoriasis Foot Treatment
Managing foot psoriasis on your own can be challenging due to the foot’s sensitivity and constant use. Professional psoriasis foot treatment is essential to:

  • Prevent cracks and fissures that can lead to infection

  • Reduce inflammation and pain for improved comfort

  • Maintain mobility and allow you to walk or stand without limitations

  • Protect toenails from long-term damage

At Balance Foot & Ankle Specialist in Howell and Bloomfield Hills, our podiatrists create personalized treatment plans designed to control symptoms, improve comfort, and prevent complications, helping you stay active and pain-free.

Psoriasis Foot Symptoms & Common Triggers

Common Symptoms

  • Thick, scaly patches on the soles

  • Redness and inflammation

  • Cracked skin that may bleed

  • Burning, itching, or soreness when walking

  • Nail changes (pitting, thickening, discoloration)

Common Causes & Triggers

  • Autoimmune response affecting skin cells

  • Stress (including holiday or lifestyle stress)

  • Cold weather and dry skin

  • Foot injuries or repeated pressure

  • Certain medications or infections

Professional Psoriasis Foot Treatment Options

Treatment Approaches May Include:

  • Medical-grade topical treatments
  • Moisturizing and barrier-repair therapy
  • Custom orthotics to reduce pressure on painful areas
  • Nail care for psoriasis-related nail changes
  • Ongoing management plans to reduce flare-ups

Trust Statement:
All treatments are customized based on symptom severity, lifestyle, and overall foot health.

Why See a Podiatrist for Foot Psoriasis?

Foot psoriasis can sometimes resemble fungal infections or eczema, making accurate diagnosis important. A podiatrist can distinguish between these conditions and provide the right treatment.

Professional care helps prevent painful cracks and secondary infections, reduces discomfort while walking or standing, and provides long-term management strategies to keep flare-ups under control. Early treatment ensures your feet stay healthy, comfortable, and mobile.

Recommended Foot Fungus Products:

  • It is also vital to fix your foot fungus.
  • Athlete’s feet can be beneficial to remove from the foot because if left unchecked, they can quickly spread back to the toenails even if they are fixed.
  • Even if you cure your toenail fungus, keep your toenails trimmed in healthy: your foot fungus can spread back into toenails.
  • So make sure you treat your foot fungus, as well as your toenail fungus.

Best Shoes For Toenail Injuries:

  • The key to prevent toenail ripping and lifting is to have good supportive shoes.
  • If you have a good supportive shoe that keeps pressure off your toes in your toenails, there will be no lifting and cracking to allow bacteria and fungus to get in.
  • This almost seems counter-intuitive, but when people make a switch to perfect supportive shoes that fit properly, their toenail problems almost always get better over the next few months or a year.
  • Your current nail is already likely destroyed, especially with joggers toe, but let the new nail growing healthy without new damage.
  • Click the following link for our most recommended shoes. Try to focus on shoes with mesh and room around the big toe and also the smaller toes.

Best Antifungal Moisture Wicking Socks:

  • These are some great options for moisture-wicking sucks.
  • The more you can wick moisture from your foot, the less chance there is that toenail fungus, and athlete’s foot can survive.
  • We tried to focus on budget value stocks that are not too expensive.
  • Sure there are better stocks out there, but these are great socks for a great price for most people.
  • If you have diabetes, focus on getting yourself some diabetic socks.

Psoriasis Foot Treatment FAQs

psoriasis foot treatment

Foot psoriasis often appears as thick, red patches of skin covered with white or silvery scales. On the soles and heels, the skin may become very dry, cracked, or painful, especially when walking or standing.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition and is not contagious, while athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that spreads through contact. Foot psoriasis usually causes thicker scaling and cracks, whereas athlete’s foot often causes itching, peeling, and a burning sensation between the toes. A podiatrist can accurately diagnose the difference.

Yes. Because the feet bear weight, psoriasis can lead to painful cracks, inflammation, and tenderness, making walking or standing uncomfortable—especially if left untreated.

Psoriasis foot treatment may include medical-grade topical medications, intensive moisturizing therapy, pressure-relieving orthotics, and ongoing management plans to control inflammation and prevent flare-ups.

Yes. A podiatrist can treat nail changes caused by psoriasis, such as thickened, discolored, or brittle toenails, and help prevent complications like pain, pressure, or secondary infection.

No. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition and cannot be spread through contact with other people, shared footwear, or public surfaces.

You should see a podiatrist if foot psoriasis causes pain, cracking, bleeding, difficulty walking, nail changes, or does not improve with home care. Early treatment helps prevent worsening symptoms and infection.
