most successful treatment

[jiml]

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
DPH

Hi DHP   to the club yes psoriasis is an embarrassing condition which we suffer with I can understand you stopping swimming with your grandchildren. But there are treatments available which could give you your life back, I would advise that you get yourself referred to a dermatologist, as the creams are meant for short term use and you need to move on to the next step
