Why some countries play with their own psoriasis treatments

[Fred]

You should never come to a forum and ask the question first. That is socially in appropriate behavior here.

I find that a shame that it's socially inappropriate behaviour in the eyes of the USA as I see it as the opposite.

I think coming to a forum such as Psoriasis Club and asking others opinions first can arm a person with all the relevant information they need about a treatment before seeing a professional, that to me is very good social behaviour as it's sharing with my fellow psoriasis patient one to one (or even a hundred to one if enough answer) surely it is better to get information beforehand from those with experience rather than believe exactly what a professional may tell you.

Look at it a bit like buying a new electrical product. Do you go straight to the shop and believe the salesman's patter, or do you do a bit of research on-line and if possible ask questions from people who have purchased and experienced the product first hand?

I suppose it's like Caroline said it's a culture thing, we prefer to live our lives how we always have in our own little part of the world wherever we may be from.
