Hi All & Merry Christmas
At last derm appointment my derm gave me a script for skinoren cream which is normally used for acne, gave it a try to see if it would help with pigmentation but no luck with it, she did say it was a bit of a long shot. She said she would write a letter to my doctor with names of others but I think they will be the ones requiring a private prescription. So pigmentation still rubbish and I think Bill is correct in mentioning the steroid use.
My appointments have been changed to every six months so will discuss again at next one. The derm has requested for me to get an allergy test done, which is to include cosmetics etc, it will take some time to get an appointment through for it as she says there is a long waiting list. I don’t think this will show anything that has caused the pigmentation on my face, legs etc . She has agreed it is not marking due to the psoriasis inflammation as it would be gone by now.
Stelera still doing its job, elbows, hip and inside ear still holding on to the P but still happy with the results.
Hope you are all well and now I have a few days off I hope to catch up.
Take care
Angie
