Hey, I understand your frustration, ive had psoriasis since I was about 7, im now 20. ) I was covered in psoriasis and the first few doctors I saw were absolutely useless and gave me things that made my skin worse. ( I'm actually on injections now.)
I used to have little patches by my eyes and my scalp used to be covered ( it looked like I had dandruff) and I still have a patch behind my ear.
All I can suggest is keep pushing until the doctors hear you, but for now to soothe the symptoms, moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! I find aloe moisturiser really helps (plus aloe is supposed to have healing stuff in it. Maybe even try aloe juice? . Elizabeth arden 8 hour cream i find helps and the sun can also help ( although dont get burnt it can make it worse) and I know this really is easier said than done but try not to stress as stress can make it worse. I know it can seem like the end of the world but it isn't a life threatening illness. You'll be suprised at how understanding people can be if you just explain to them what it is (don't get me wrong some can be jerks) but at the end of the day it is just a build up of skin due to a fault in our immune system.
