Hello Pantic 
to Psoriasis Club.
I've not heard of many good results from using Locoid and the following information from the list of precautions may be of interest to you.
It sounds like you have a useless doctor in my opinion and it could be time to look for another. The treatment of Psoriasis has moved on a lot in the past few years, and it sounds like your doctor has forgot to keep up to date with the times.
Unfortunately you have a long wait to see a dermatologist, so if you can't get another doctor for the moment it could be worth giving Dexeryl a try if you can get it in Denmark as it's perfect for sensitive areas of your body, or maybe ask your doctor for Silkis.
Re starting University. It's not weak of you to worry, I'm sure most of the newbies will have something to worry about. You're young and obviously your appearance is important to you, but if you can try to be more positive it will help as stress can make psoriasis worse. Yes I know it's easy for an old geezer like me to say that, but if you have a friend or can find a new one at Uni that you can talk to about psoriasis you will find it helps a huge amount.
It's very difficult when you first get psoriasis and it can knock your confidence, but just be yourself and people will accept you for who you are not what you look like. And if they don't, then to be honest those people aren't worth knowing anyway.
You're not alone, have a read through some threads to see others experiences and don't be afraid to jump in. You will find us a friendly bunch who understand, and we don't care what you look like.
Regards.
Fred.

Quote:
As with all corticosteroids, application to the face, flexures and other areas of thin skin may cause skin atrophy and increased absorption and should be avoided.
Topical corticosteroids may be hazardous in psoriasis for a number of reasons including rebound relapses following development of tolerance, risk of generalised pustular psoriasis and local and systemic toxicity due to impaired barrier function of the skin. Steroids may have a place in psoriasis of the scalp and chronic plaque psoriasis of the hands and feet. Careful patient supervision is important.
