I have had bad psoriasis on my left hand index finger (one next to thumb?) for about 1 year now.

The psoriasis only occurs on the tip to the first joint. It is PAINFUL, and I hate it.

I am seriously considering amputating the end of my finger to eliminate this issue. If I presented this idea to my doctor do you think he will think I am crazy or is a request like this acceptable since it is my body and I should be able to dictate what I cut off and what I don't?

I have not found anything that treats the psoriasis well enough that my finger is not so sore.

HELP!?
