Hi All I haven’t ever been referred to a dermatologist??

@Jo-B Go back to your GP and ask to be referred? Until you have seen a dermatologist and it has been correctly diagnosed you won't have access to other help? Give them a ring.

Hi, I too have psoriasis on the sole of one foot and along the inside. I used to find it almost impossible and thought that things couldn’t get worse - until it appeared on both hands! Can’t begin to tell you how much of a negative affect this had on my daily life, it’s just so sore all the time. I would suggest that you try using a moisturiser or coconut oil and then wrapping your foot in cling film, it really does help although I have plaque psoriasis and therefore this helps with the dryness. I also do the same for my hands and then wear cotton gloves at night - brings some relief.

Hi All, have another back g blister filled with stuff on my foot again- just wondering as when these burst it’s instant relief so I was wondering if you can burst them. This one I’d bigger than a 50p piece? Jo

@ Jo-B I have popped them on my feet in the past but never had one as big as a 50p - if you do pop it make sure it doesn't get infected - it could make it worse - have you been diagnosed yet? Because until you are sure what it is I would err on the side of caution ok? Popping does relieve the pain but it is a short term solution. Take good care ok?

I did ask him when I spoke to him at new year, he said it was more difficult these days which I appreciate and he gave me some penicillin to take!! It’s soooooo painful- hopefully it will pop tomorrow- I’ve been limping for days as can’t put my foot flat to walk on. Jo

Maybe a sharp needle - gently - small pin hole - but sterilise it first - only a tiny hole though - I have done it but be careful ok? I squeezed out the pus - then put antiseptic cream on the little pin hole - do it before bed then you won't need to walk on it. Good luck but really? Be careful - just because I have done it doesn't mean it is for everyone?

And DON'T be tempted to peel the skin off - let it heal ok? Bit like a blister. That's why a say a SMALL pin hole and squeeze it gently.
