Stubborn psoriasis on ear..

[Kat]

My psoriasis started on my outer ear and I still get small patches. I've found that moisturizing with coconut oil or lotion does help, but short term. I had a topical from the doctor early on, but for me it didn't help any more than moisturizing, it helped for a small time as well but I wasn't crazy about applying it numerous times per day. At least when using a moisturizer it's less flaky and itchy due to not being so dry. I keep a rough patch of psoriasis behind one ear and manage it by moisturizing. Sorry to say I don't think it will go away unless I want to do another round of oral medicine (although the dermatologist did say to expose my ears to sunlight often, which is perhaps another option) but as long as this is all I have to deal with, I'll stick with moisturizing.
