Hi all, not been here for a while so thought I would give you an update. 
GP gave me Betnovate cream to try and referred me to skin specialist, only had to wait 4 weeks, that's the good bit.
Was offered another cream or light therapy which I refused as all creams/ lotions have made me so sore,told her I do not want to try any more.
She said I couldn't have tablets or injections as not bad enough, even though been off work 2 weeks as feet and heels so sore cracking and bleeding, cannot wear shoes, and hands so sore, calves sore.
My psoriasis score is only 6 ish, although specialist didn't look everywhere, did quality of life questionnaire scored 30.
I was not happy, think specialist could see I was about to burst into tears so left room , came back and said I could do tests to see if I could have Methotrexate or Acitretin, meanwhile would you like to try Enstilar.
So had all blood tests done and chest X-ray same day, thinking when results are in I will get an appointment, 2/4 weeks. NO, 12 weeks next app.
On the up side 10 days using Enstilar I have no flaking and soreness gone on calves, knees and elbows.
Heels are still tender and cracked and psoriasis appearing on soles so still off work as cannot wear shoes.
Hands are still red and sore, it seems to be on every joint on my fingers, knuckles etc and palms now, which I never had 30 years ago.
According to leaflet I can only use for 4 weeks so I don't know what to do after that, think I will ring specialist.
