Inverse psoriasis

[Fred]

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, he has seen the GP a couple of times for the inverse, and he has been prescribed with, I think two different types of steroid cream, I should've said in my first post, but he's very reluctant to use them because of the long term possibility of thinning the skin, as the psoriasis is between the buttocks. I know he was using one for a couple of weeks like the doctor recommended and as soon as he stopped it came straight back. 

But I think a dermatologist would be the next step in trying to find something to control it a bit better. 
It's just horrible to see it impacting him so much, and to not seeing him do what he loves.

Yes it will thin the skin and when you stop it usually will come back, but you can't stay on it for ever. OK so now he has seen a GP and tried the creams he needs to go back and ask for a referral to a dermatologist. This can sometimes be difficult but tell him to lay it on a bit and explain that it making his quality of life unbearable and he no longer wants to go out socialising.

Have a look at these two threads they may help:

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
NICE Quality Standards for Psoriasis

Also get him to try Coconut Oil between his buttocks. But yes it's dermatology time.

EDIT: For some reason I put Guilty of life. Obviously it should be Quality.
