Hello everyone

Thank you for a warm welcome. I'm so happy I have found a forum for fellow P sufferers. I don't feel at all alone. I think a GP appointment is on the cards. My p is getting worse and I'm waking up in the night tearing at at    

I will have a wonder about and look at diet change as I feel this is contributing as well.

Thank you all so much  

Simone it may be a good idea when talking to your GP to ask for a referral to see a dermatologist they will be able to prescribe things your doctor can't . Medications like Fumaderm that I am on or may be uv treatment if you aren't to severe,
Your doctor will always send you away with creams which may not be the best thing for you if you are tearing at your skin .
So ask for a referral they should give you one then you are on the radar of the hospital and should be able to get it under control .
Diet change is good there are many threads on here about diet,
Come back often and ask away or as Caroline has said join us at some time in the off topic section
