Hi,
I suffer from psoriasis on chest and stomach, my back and in my hair. I no I should consider myself lucky as I do not have it as bad as some people and I am mostly able to cover it up. However it's currently got worse all over I use to just have spots which are now joining to small patches and is beginning to scar.
I have a few things i hope to find advice on and any advice is very much welcome and appreciated:
1) the flakes of dry skin I often pick off is this the right or wrong thing to do, could this be why it's scaring?
2) any advice to remove or treat the scars
3) I was advices to use Johnsons shampoo and head and shoulders between my medicated shampoo, are there any other unmediated shampoos I can use
4) I currently use dovobet on my chest and back it does clear it but it comes back the next day and the doctor tells me there is no other ointment as I've tried everything, are there other creams ?
Thankyou
