Hello Steven
I'm new here too.
P sufferer for around 6 year and each outbreak is worse than the last.
I am interested to know what dietary changes you are making and if they are medical suggestions. Most importantly though, I want to know if it's working for you. Check out the post about blueberries.

Hello Steven
I totally understand what you are going through, I too was feeling suicidal, nothing was working from the GP.
Apparently my condition is not severe enough to get a referal to a dermatologist but the GP doesn't know what we have to deal with on a daily basis.
I have seen 3 separate GP's and all they can do is give the same advice over and over. They dont have the knowledge hence my request to be referred to a dermatologist.
Mine is on my hands, elbows, upper arms, kneck and thighs. I wake myself up at night scratching and bleeding all over the bed sheets.
I get some temporary relief by running cold water on the areas, have you tried this?
Do you know what type on P you have?

Even the gp don't know what type I have
But I'm going to bypass the gp I'm getting intouch with dermatologist at my local hospital and tell them I'm suicidal and I'm going to harm myself if I don't see them

Your GP experience is very similar to mine. Not able to tell me what type I have.
Please let me know if you manage to see a dermatologist without a referal from the doctor.
And please hang on in there. I know how depressing it is. We are not asking for a cure, just something to make it more manageable.
You are not alone but I'm worried for you.
Sending virtual hugs.
Just had a call from doc to refer me
I phoned my local hospital explaining my problem thay can not believe it so thay rang my docs for me next thing you know docs rang me and now iv been referred

Oh that is such good news. I am so pleased you have managed to get a referal.
I hope the dermatologist is able to help, this is what they specialise in so they will surely be more help than the gp.

Steven have you tried betnovate cream for your groin area? That works for me anyway and anywhere in that area. Yes it does come back but at least it clears it for a while. Keep active not major exercise i do fast walking that helps and try to keep your weight down. Adding weight for me definitely made my p worse
