I have had psoriasis since the age of 7. As a child it was the cause of a lot of bullying. Especially as I was on steroids, and gained weigh

Hi, I am another newbie to the forums. I have had ear psoriasis since childhood. It can affect my hearing very badly qt times. I have recently found two things that really help. Firstly, my dermatologist proscribed diproscilac liquid ointment, which he told me to use sparingly inside the ear like drops. Secondly, ear candling to clear out the debris. It is not gone, but is a lot easier and I am hoping for a lot fewer ear infections this winter as a result.

Plaque Psoriasis since childhood, now nail psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, eye problems, the full monty really!

I have had it in my ears for years - daily I peel layers of dry skin out of my ears right at the top, and in the last year or so it has been in the rest of the accessible part of the inside of the ear. I also get itching on the outside of the ear but no flaking. Some people say Olive oil helps, I have just started using dovobet gel (had the ointment for years) and that is the right consistency to dab a bit in the ears without it running in or needing a lot of rubbing in.

Winter time is really bad for my psoriasis, my skin gets sore and cracks, I cant kneel as my knees are really sore

Hi im new to this forum but ive had psoriasis 14 years, I have it bad in my ears, ive used olive oil, also ive had a machine that send uv light on it, I found it very effective. I do get infections in my ears and have gone temporary deaf, due to the build up of skin and wax, this condition is not pleasant.

Scalp, body, and ear. mild case but it bothers the crap out of me.

So I have P in my ear as well and i've been dabbing a bit of the medicine my doctor gave me in it but not in the canal of course but I've noticed a weird popping in my ear ever since I started using this medicine. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Obliterated my self confidence. Lost my partner due to genital p

I _had_ p on & in my luggs, like, Amandine I too was peeling off layers. 10 days before starting UVB treatment I was ordered (UVB reflects of off p scales) to use the following: Outer ear (descale): Eumovate Outer ear (manage): Dovonex Cream - Dipro/Doublebase Inner ear (descale & manage): Coal tar solution in Arachis oil After 4 or 5 days it went from 70% coverage to 5%. Now, after 11 UVB treatments it's 100% gone. P.S: Go easy with the Dovobet gel, its a steroid, which, as you know thins the skin.

30 years - major PS.

Yes - and I have pierced ears which means I have to take great care to avoid infections. However since recently going gluten free the ps has significantly improved - ears as well. Otherwise the coal tar was the thing that helped.

Scalp, Psoriatic Arthritis and now guttate psoriasis! Living hell

I have scale in my ears, and frequently get very blocked. I also wear hearing aids, which makes it very hard to use Olive oil or any product inside the outer ear. It becomes infected sometimes, and my ear swells up and is very red and painful. Nightmare! Antibiotics- then I have to stop the Biological treatment fro Psoriatic Arthritus- a viscious circle. Having had numerous ear infections in the last 6 months- I now have Guttate Psoriasis on my back, legs and now starting on my arms. Research Reasearch Research- well done Association for the funding plan.

Started with psoriasis 23 years ago. Had topical, UV and steroid treatments over that timeframe

So glad I've read this, been backwards and forwards to GP itching, sore and hearing loss for 3 years. Finally convinced them to refer me to ENT as having dizzy spells. Have had Psoriasis for a long time and never thought it was that in my ears. Consultant prescribed ear calm . Been using that for 2 months and the problem is worse. I'm now going to try olive oil. That will save me £7.10 every week . So helpful . Thanks

how useless are ent specialists when it comes to this? seriously. nobody has had anything good to say about them. ive been to 3 different ones iover the years. and not one gave a damn about my problem. they seem to think its a minor inconvenience when its really a life changing nightmare. any updates from previous posters? paerticularly the linseed oil poster

Just (self) diagnosed...scalp, genitals, underarms....

Hi, Sorry to hear of your ear problem, but Im glad I found it. I started with the scalp lesions. Just a few small ones at my hair line. Thought it was my hat rubbing (I wear a leather hat to protect my head in the sun). Then I got genital p and underarms and started researching for a natural cure. Low and behold now I know why my ears have been so itching for months. I use my little finger in each ear way too often. Its like a habit. But it feels good when a little bit of skin comes out on my nail. Relief that I know what it is now - I will start with Apple Cider Vinegar - its my wifes answer to everything and I havevread it elsewhere. Dave

mild PS for nearly 30 years. mainly on elbows, head, legs.

I also have been use Apple Cider Vinegar for my ears. I noticed about six months ago that my ears had p. I was using Apple Cider Vinegar to calm my elbows, so tried some in my ears. I apply with cotton wool buds or cotton wool sticks and rub it in and around the ear last thing at night. It has dried up and not visible anymore. I can now go for days without having to reapply it.

I developed a rare form when I was a teenager. I was hospitalized by the condition. I recovered and, since then, it has been a relatively mi

I've got that crunching noise in my ear. I imagine it is dead skin and the sound of my pulse. I guess I'll have to put olive oil in there although I'm apprehensive because when I've used olive oil in the past, my ears have become completely blocked! My ears are clean and I have hardly any earwax but they are itchy and dry, inside and out.

I have psoriasis.

I have it in and around my ears and its not nice at all. People always comment on it and don't understand and I've only ever got ride of it once. I know it's awful but try being a teenager in this kind of society with it and you'll understand how painful it is.

Scalp, ears, hands and genital psoriasis.

My first psoriasis began in my ears when I was 14. My mum always told me it was just dry skin and the put some moisturiser on it. That never worked. It wasn't until I was diagnosed at age 20 that I knew what it was and I was diagnosed with ear, scalp, hand, and genital psoriasis and also arthritis all on the same day. The only P I've managed to clear up is my hand. The genital is only a small minor patch and come and goes. It's the scalp and ear P that drives me crazy! I have a scalp lotion that my doctor gave me and it settles it down temporarily. Are there any good products/topical solutions that are really good at soothing the scalp? In 8 years my ears have never stopped peeling and itching through my whole ears. Can someone please give me some advice on how you treat your ears. I've tried heaps of things but nothing stops them flaking. Also how do you warm up the olive oil? I've only ever used room temperature and just used a ear bud to apply it.

I get psoriasis all over my back, sides, stomach, chest, legs and elbows. I am now 31 years of age and suffered with it since the age of 7.

I always get p in my ears, and around my ears, not as bad as a=in my actual ear canal tho but just surrounding, i just use a small amount of my Dovobet ointment every night until it clears. Obv always comes back again within a few weeks.

Had scalp and neck/shoulder psoriasis since I was a child. Occasional flare up on legs/elbows.

Have had posriasis for over 18 tears on my scalp neck and behind/around ears. It wasn't until Jan this year though that my ear became blocked on one side and lost my hearing in left ear - had to do the old olive oil treatment for a week, and two microsuction treatments which hurt so much! In the end they ended up irrigating out my ear as it couldn't come out with suction as it was just too painful. I wondered at the time if it was connected to the psoriasis but nurse didn't seem sure. After 2 months relief my right ear is now doing the same thing.. argh! Definitely recommend olive oil - it does make it worse at first as it make the wax expand but it will then settle down and help to unblock the ear drum. Hoping I can shift this ear so wont be back to docs again for more irrigation..

Had it since I was 13, now 54. Very embarrassed and depressed about it. I've never had a clear time and now my scalp is covered and for the

I've just reluctantly spent £14.99 on yet another shampoo for my scalp. Has anybody used Humankind Organics? I'm not sure if I've been taken for a fool again in believing all the fantastic reviews on their website. I can't find anything on the internet about them other than their own website and I'm suspicious. However, I've used the shampoo 5 times now and can see and feel some improvement. Its a bit too soon to tell if I'm going to be raving about it like the hundreds of others on their website. I would just like to know if anyone else had tried it and what results, if any, were there?
