I agree with Caroline keep it short and rub it down with emery board, and also yes it's a classic sign of psoriatic arthritis.
If you can try to see your dermatologist a bit quicker if possible, but if it is psoriatic arthritis your current treatment isn't going to help. Sorry to be the bearer of possibly bad news, but psoriatic arthritis can be managed and the important thing is to get it sorted as early as possible.
I'm a classic example of psoriatic arthritis, I got it, ignored it, almost ended up in a wheelchair, took advice, now I'm old and getting my life back. So don't be afraid to get your dermatologist to check it out (actually insist that they do) if you get on the first rung of the ladder early the better it will be later on.
Don't worry we are here and some of us are doing fine with psoriatic arthritis, do report back as your information may help others in the future.
