Hello Rosie,

Welcome to Psoriasisclub !

Normally I am much faster in my reactions and I had seen your arrival on the forum already very quickly. But I am currently living a very busy time, so past week I hardly have been on the forum.

Quite a nasty form of psoriasis you have.
Did you already discuss the possibility of biologics, specifically for your kind of the disease?

Cheers,
Caroline

Hi Caroline! Thanks!
It is quite nasty. So far I have tried a number of steroid creams, uvb light (didn’t work), now puva light which has helped the bottoms of my feet a little but it is spreading up the sides and now the doctor said the tops of my feet and ankles) broke out in bumps and crazy itchiness this past week) look more like eczema! My legs have also started itching like crazy. Tried numerous Cerave and Cetaphil creams, bleach soaks, salt soaks, nothing helped. So she said only use betaderm and Vaseline, cold compresses and cool water soaks for now. She is going to continue puva until my regular dermatologist sees me. I don’t want to take methotrexate (my partner tried that for his PRP and it came back with a vengeance as soon as he stopped) but retinoids and biologics are the next steps I guess. So frustrating. I will have a look at the biologics threads on here!
