Hi all. Just joined up. Iv had p for over 25yrs. Had it just about everywhere body,scalp,ears,feet,under my nails hand and feet all at the same time :). Used all the topical creams ect and had upva treatment and tablets (retonoids) about 10 yrs ago,they made me very poorly. Been sufferingvwith depression and anxsiaty for the past 5 yrs but medication has made a vast improvment on that. At one stage i did not want to live any more. But thats all behind me at the mo :) Ive not seen a skin specialist for a while due to thre depression, i just couldnt cope with that but hoping to see one soon. Got p really bad at mo and it gets me down lots. Im hoping to be prescribed one of the newer drugs like stalara etc as nothing else has worked much. Life is very dificult for me wth p. I find i have to really make an effort what ever i do,work ect.

Mild psoriasis from birth, escalated in 20s, tho helped by keeping skin cool and wearing cotton vests. Diagnosed with Psa in 2012

Since changing tablets for psoriatic arthritis, my psorisis returned, mostly on my elbows. After a while, I reverted to my old trick of using a spot cover stick on the red patches and scales on my elbows. The redness vastly reduced within a couple of weeks and the scales almost disappeared. It would be interesting to know if this works for anyone else. It's one with tea tree in, so don't know if that's a factor. I also try to avoid getting the skin too hot so it doesn't itch by wearing mostly cotton. When it does itch I use a gentle hand cream to cool it, rather than scratch. I also wear cotton vests to avoid skin round the waist band sweating too much. Hope this helps others too.
