Thank you all for your great advice. Hopefully things will start to get a little better now.
Fantastic news. I agree with Fred. If the coal tar doesn't work then keep pushing.
I started off on that myself, then various creams, then UVA and finally cyclosporin. Months and months of it. I do understand that my Dermatologist didn't want to rush straight in with the 'big guns' (they do have potentially bad side effects) so it was a slow and cautious but effective progression for me.
I'm doing well now (apart from this upcoming blip).
Take care and keep us up to date.
