Hi Mike and a very warm welcome to our club.
Absolutely nothing wrong with your intro, we have all been there and yes it can be difficult to open up, but be rest assured we all know what the script is and no one will ever judge you on here. It's not what we are about.
Non of us are medically trained but have grown to cope with this damned disease and can speak from experience.
What I would strongly recommend if you dont have one is to get a referral to a Dermatologist, GP's in most countries dont have the same call on treatments and you are more likely to get it under control better with a Dermy in tow. I would also be very cautious about using steroid creams such as Enstilar for too long as they can cause damaging thinning of the skin.
If we can be any help, just ask - there is no such thing as a dumb question. We will do our best to help where we can.
