I'll be stopping by periodically. If you are reading this, I'm sorry about your condition. It sucks.

Thanks for the reply. I have it on my knees, elbows, genitals, scalp and temples..

Also, I have psa in my knees, wrists, elbows and ankles. 

I am uninsured, so you can imagine the stuff I have try and to for treatment. But it's at the point now where I must seek a Dr.

Yes it's unfortunate you are uninsured so I guess you are limited with your choices of treatments. But yes you do need to get to a doctor or a dermatologist who can possibly guide you through your options. But obviously money must be a consideration, although some of the treatments are quite cheap.

Have a look through some of the alternatives available just by change of diet or lifestyle, in the Natural treatment section for ideas of what others here use.

Hi Padre welcome to the forum.

Hi Padre and welcome to our Club  .
No it's not the best position to be re lack of insurance,  but like Jim has pointed out there are links to some really useful information on this site. It's probably got more real world experiences than anywhere I know. Sadly you are right and there comes a time when everyone with this wretched disease need's to get proper medical assistance. It is the only way you will control it effectively. If you can cope with the various diets suggested that have added some it is worth giving it a go. It would never work for me, I've just no will power. If you need any help, yell out, somebody will be about who may be able to help

Hello Padre   to Psoriasis Club.

I'm not sure if you are in the USA, but if you are this thread may be of interest: Insurance Info for the U.S.

Hi Padre welcome to the forum.

Hi Padre, welcome to the club. Shame you don't have the insurance, that really sucks. Like Jim said, look into natural diets and eliminating foodstuff that might worsen your skin condition. For some it works, tho not for all. Hope you are one of those lucky ones. Keep it up for at least three months to see results, if at all.
