32 years old and suffered with psoriasis since sitting my exams in school

Hi charlotte, I've recently started taking fexofenadine (I think that's what they are called) I would say they help me a little during the night. I only take 1 about 9pm but I don't itch AS much but I do still itch.

Thank you for getting back to me. Also I love lush and everyone got me bath bombs for Christmas. Does it mean I can't use them now x

I have had psoriasis since I was 9.

Hi... I sometimes use bubble bath or bath salts etc... I don't have any trouble - as long as I use lots of moisturiser after I bathe (I just use Boots aqueous cream).

New to all this and diagnosed in 2017 - working out how to cope with all this currently

Newbie here too - diagnosed this Tuesday and reading as much as I can. Only ever had a slight skin problem on one leg that's hung around for 15 years, joint swelling recently as well as feeling shattered and other symptoms for the last few years. I work full time so hoping to carry on with this as I love my work. Been taking naproxen for a month but being moved into methotrexine (sp) next Tuesday and not looking forward to the side effects - but I want my get up and go back to old energy levels so hoping once it's settled I will be back to normal - just saying hi everyone

Hi all also a newbie here, but have been living/coping with psoriasis for over 10 years now and know how you all feel I've had many different treatments ranging from creams and bath lotions, various tablets,phototherapy and now on a regular dose of injections. If I can give any advise or help please ask

Hey just seen this on NHS I'm 16 and thankful there's a site which I can get support. I have psoriasis on my scalp and sometimes on my face. I can't really wear makeup and when I do it seems to flare up. Past week I've noticed tiny bits on my tummy. I have a scalp solution prescribed and a hydration cream. If there's any tricks I should know or diet changes please tell me.
