Hello,
I am a new member and have suffered from Psoriasis for about 4 years. It is mainly on my back, arms, buttocks and behind my ears and has gradually worsened to the extent that it has now stopped me going swimming with my Grandchildren due to the embarrassment!
I have tried about 8 to 10 different creams and ointments since 2012, some steroid based and others not, but none of them have really helped. Some do relieve the itching and reduce the scaling skin but the large red patches remain.
I understand there isn't a magic cure for this irritating condition but can anyone recommend a treatment or course of treatments that are more successful than others and that don't include the Sun?
Many thanks
