Hi all, new here and need your advice

Just a case of waiting now until you see a dermatologist. The way you describe your symptoms sound very similar to mine which is very mild psoriasis. Can still be upsetting though. How long have you been using the Dovobet? Use it for the 8 weeks. Most patches will come back a few days after you stop using it but if you are like me then it might make some patches go away permanently. Don't use the Dovobet on your face though. Your dermatologist should be able to prescribe you something to help with the sensitive areas like your face. In the meantime keep the area moisturised. Coconut oil or Cetraban are good choices. You don't wanna use any old moisturiser from the shops as they contain stuff that can aggravate psoriasis. How many patches (roughly) have you got in total and how big are they? You have to have quite a large area of your body covered in psoriasis for it to be considered moderate nevermind severe and if it is only mild then there is only so much a dermatologist can do. I dont imagine they'll refer you for light therapy and certainly biologicals and what not are off the table. Do you get much exercise? Eat healthily? Moderate your intake of alcohol? These are things that are said to ease your symptoms and help you feel better about things.

hai,I had psoriasis about 9years. lately it become more worse.. I try everything but nothing works for me. I feel so frustrated.. I feel so unwanted..

Thanks toodlesoodles for coming back to me. I was first prescribe dobovet October 2016, use it on and off, like you say it can get rid of them but after stopping use it comes back. Each patch of my psoriasis is small, I would say none bigger than 1cm, most smaller. Not sure if links work on here or not but here are some pics https://goo.gl/photos/ECUhMqsJVPBTFMEu7 I am generally healthy, I run 3-4 times a week, I have to follow quite a healthy strict eating plan because of stomach troubles I've had. So my diet consists of white meat and fish, occasionally red meat (once a month ish), lots of veg, occasional fruit. I don't eat gluten and very rarely eat dairy because of lactose. Weight wise and eating wise I am probably the healthiest I have been ever and it's typical that then you have a skin condition to contradict it all. Maybe I should go back to pizza, burgers and alcohol ;) Sorry to hear that amani- do you see a dermatologist of anyone to try and help? Don't give up, keep fighting it :)

thanks Laura for your concern. I'm stopped seeing the doctor on 2010 after i've realized that it no use and my condition going worsen every day. I try natural treatment. applying virgin coconut oil .on the affected area. Now I only use Vaseline to moisture my dry hard skin and I take sea cucumber gel as my supplements. although it still doesn't have any changes but I still trying to figure out what is the best treatment for me. pray for us..

I have been using Penang Nutmeg Oil for 4 weeks now and it has stopped my scalp flaking this might sound a bit stupid to some people but it has worked for me, so I thought I would pass on this information for others to try.

I will look into this nutmeg oil, thanks for the advice. I had the doctors this morning, he has advised I emailed him some photographs of the psoriasis, he is going to get a dermatologist to have a look. I presume this is because of the 18 week waiting list to see one, I guess I can get a professional opinion on it that way. Also took some bloods, I have been having night sweats since about October/November so not sure if the bloods are for that or for the skin, or both maybe. Always leave a doctors feeling confused, does that happen to anyone else? Anyway I have a catch up appointment on the 21st march.

If you are having problems getting referred to a Dermatologist then try going private for the first consultation and then ask them to transfer you to NHS. It's worth a try, it worked for me.
