Laura the best advise I could give you would be to wait till you have a confirmed diagnoses from a dermatologist. We have a wide range of people all using different types of treatments, but you have to remember that what works for one may not work for another.
Those of us that get clear are passionate about our treatment (and rightly so) but sometimes it can become information overload for someone who is either new to psoriasis or not yet diagnosed. We can all point you to what has worked for us but you must get conformation from a dermatologist, then you can decide to go with what they say (my recommendation) or go it alone.
But until you have a confirmed diagnoses any treatments we recommend could make matters worse or may not even be available to you. Psoriasis is a difficult thing to treat and it's important to get it right, so please don't go following what any of us are telling you apart from "Get it diagnosed"
If it's psoriasis then your dermatologist will work with you to find something that manages it, or you could decide to go it alone and we can help you here with whatever way you choose to go.
If it's not psoriasis then you will still have to decide the best way forward, but you are a member and you will always be welcome and your information could be valuable for others in the future.
Just don't go taking to much on board until you have a diagnoses. Once you have that then the questions start.
