I have lost a job because of it. I have tried everything. its as if the skin is appearing before the acid even gets a chance to remove the old stuff. I am really embarrassed with my hands. I can't imagine what someone covered must feel like. And people under estimate just how sore it can be x
Nobody here will underestimate the pain and embarrassment of having to try to hide psoriasis, and you can read countless members here who have had the same experience
It's as much a mental problem as it is physical and the more you stress about it the worse it gets and spirals down, well now you are among friends, who will hopefully come up with some other ideas when they get up tomorrow
I can tell you I spent years trying to hide the thick plaques and always longed for summer so I could get some natural sunshine and get myself fairly clear.
Then 4 years ago I was lucky enough to be offered Fumaderm tablets and they have transformed my life, I can now go swimming all through the year, I can sit in people's houses without leaving a trail of skin behind me
So I know it's no consolation to you at the moment, but be assured that there is a treatment that will work for you ....
You may have to make a nuisance of yourself at the doctors or the hospital ... But you should push and push hard for something that works
As I said before we will offer you advice ...as much as you can absorb, and then you can decide what's best for you
