my hands

So sorry you’re suffering Angie. My first forum day too! Hands are so on show aren’t they? My finger nails lift and are bumpy. Yuk. I try slather on sudocrem, unguentum merk, if I have any- got to be the heavy weight of moisturiser or anything really with cotton gloves over night. Soothing, not a fix. I get the gloves in the £ shop! Hope you get some relief soon. Annmarie

Hi Angie. I'm fairly new to the forum, too. I have Psoriasis on my hands and feet so understand the pain and self consciousness. I tried everything I could think of, but wasn't aware at the time that my problem was Psoriasis. Once it was diagnosed, I was prescribed an ointment containing Betamethasone and Salicylic Acid. I was also prescribed Cetraben, though I think this has to be bought over the counter now. I got an extra bottle on Amazon. It's all working well on my hands, though my feet are needing a bit more help. I've suffered for more than 2 years so, to see an improvement, is wonderful. Best of luck in finding something that works well for you.

Hi Angie, I have had psoriasis for 10 years and last year had a bad flare up -hands, nails, feet and rest of body. Still suffering however recently gone on biologic injections and within 4 weeks have seen a massive improvement. Hope the steroid creams work for you - keep plenty of moisturiser on - its so painful!!!!

Hi - my dad had the same problem (he even had to stop working) he then started with a handheld UVB Unit (can I mention which one?) you will find on the website for 149,00 Pound. He stoped with all creams and used only the light. I can provide pictures so you can see the fantastic results. No itching, no blood anymore - skin smooth now.

Hello! Today was diagnosed with palmoplantar pustulosis ,the Dr wants to start me on a infusion called strleta. ( not sure if spelled that correct) but was wondering if anyone else has been on this ,if so did it help and if so we're side effects bad ?
