I’ve been told it’s fine on the face too, but I guess where eyelids are already thin skin you need to be careful. That was advice given to me, but I would always say to follow advice given to you on steroids by your own doc/derm.
Also, might it be the sun triggering the psoriasis? I was given light treatment years back, though I told them it was a bad idea, and where it burned my skin I got psoriasis.
Hihi TL,
In one sentence you say, always follow the advice of the derm/doc.
And in the next you follow this advice, contradictory to your intuition and it has a bad result.
It is one of my reasons to always be very critical with doctors. And always trying to find if it is correct and logical what they are saying. Which also implies very critical reading of articles and opinions on the Internet.
Yes - ironic isn’t it? I knew it was a bad idea but I couldn’t proceed to the next treatment until uvb had been proven not to work for me.
I’m always very aware that relating what a derm has said to me must be followed by saying ‘this was the advice given to me, and you need to go and get your own advice tailored to you..’
