Hello Kip, P. Is frustrating....so an docs.... Ya gota be aggressive. I always being a list. And try not to get side tracked.
I use occlusion . Wrap p area after application of meds or moisturizer with suran wrap or glad self stick wrap. It helps the meds absorb deeply in the skin layers instead of wipping off the skin. The wrap holds the meds in place long enough to absorb thru the derm layers of the skin to block off the tiny capillary vessels that feeds the psoriasis skin layers. Makes sence? It has put my p. In remission for 3 years .
Also UR dr should inform u of the many treatments for P. Perhaps u could find a psoriasis specialist.
I Went to a well known derm about 5 years ago. for P. It was interested in trying excimer laser. Well as it turned out he signed me up for laser treatments which ins covers. i recommend it for plaque p. But what cracked me up was that he wanted to sell me all types of facial treatments to take the wrinkles out and add fillers to my lips under eyes and wanted to sell me a line of facial cleansers and treatments worth thousands. I refused to be callywagged into lookin younger. Its all derms r interested in to make more money...All I wanted was p. Treatment.
Never went back to him again.
This was a P. Specialist ????? Next thing ya know they will be wanting to take fat out of my caboose and fill in my cheeks..
I have enough issues thanku. I am not about to sign up for any more issues than I already have .
I left the dr office in a daze. How did a Psoriasis appt turn into a whole recommendation for thousands of dollars in facial treatments guaranteed to takes years off UR face to make u look younger?
So YEAH! Drs are salesmen too.. Especially when it comes to the everybody has to Looking younger issue. I'm happy with the way I am and I told him that but he wasn't convinced and called in his assist to explain in detail how these laser procedures will take yrs off UR face in only 29 treatments. UGG!
