Hello from Duncan

[Duncan]

Hi Duncan and welcome to the club, you have come to a great place to talk about treatment for Psoriasis as you will be speaking to fellow sufferers with personal experiences .
Your dermatologist may not be too concerned about the long term use of steroid creams, but you should be concerned
I myself was on these creams on repeat prescription for ages and my skin now shows the scars from my skin ripping at the slightest knock ( my shins are worst because that’s where I applied the creams more liberally )
They will thin your skin, and best used in small doses
I have been on Fumaderm for over 6 years now and would recommend everyone tries it ( or Skilarence)  and hopefully they will give you long term clearance
But there are other good oral treatments available and I wouldn’t put off trying any of them as long as you are monitored they should be safe and not thin your skin

Hope you enjoy being a member of the club and if you want a break from talking Psoriasis join some of us in the off topic section where I can often be found lurking
Jim

How long were you on cream Jim
