Hi again Pam
I know you haven't been actually diagnosed with psoriasis,and you say you are a great distance from a hospital with a dermatologist. In that case it would be wise to see your doctor as most will recognise psoriasis it is quite a distinctive and common condition, he may well want to refer you for tests but he may also prescribe something that may well help.
It's unlikely to disappear without some treatment.
If the doctor diagnoses you with psoriasis and you don't want the drugs he offers. There are plenty of natural treatments on this site you could try.
It must be very worrying for you keeping it bottled up and not confiding in family.
I would try to pluck up the courage to talk to someone as it will release a lot of pressure getting it in the open. As we have all mentioned before.
On here you can talk as much as you like and if someone sees you posting you will usually get a reply. Or you can use the pm system I always respond to that within a few hours if I am awake
