Shame it didn't work for you ...it can be difficult finding a treatment that works and I had hoped the fumaderm was going to be the one ...sadly not ....but you must not give up there is a treatment that will work for you and hopefully it will be the next one ....as fred says try to stay positive, come back here often and chat in off topic with others who have or are also struggling so understand your predicament ....I suggest whatever they throw at you next give it a try ....
but mention that you are a member of a forum where we chat about medications and tell them of the ones you would rather not try and try to bring biologicals into the conversation saying that you have read of great successes with Stelara and Cosentyx and ask why they are not being considered for you .....tell them it's badly affecting your quality of life and is causing depression worrying about the coming summer ...they do have a duty to consider all aspects of the disease not just the rash...the psychological impact it has on you should also be considered
Sorry I went into rant phase there
Good luck and try to get your skin out as much as you can in the summer ...I used to find a deserted beach and get my kit off when it was warm enough to try to get clear with the natural uv rays ..combined with steroid creams ..with some success but of course my skin thinned terribly..so although I got some clearance in summer months I paid the price later ...this shouldn't be necessary these days with all the drugs that are available
