Hi Mike welcome to the forum , you will find that we are all very experienced in what it's like to have P and PsA so any answers that you get will be from people who know what it's like not health workers who only think they know.
I am not a fan of diets as I don't think they work that well but saying that there are people who don't get on with certain foods so under those circumstances there is a reason to go down that route.
If you are 40% covered I am surprised that your derm has not suggested using other treatments other than lotions and potions ,have you had any light treatment as that can work quite well. I had that when after about 3 years with P and it worked quite well though not for a long term solution for me.
I have used most of the things you are using and where as they kept it down to a degree they really were a very time consuming and meant only for a short term answer. I think that you need to have a good look around the forum then ask a few questions so the next time you see your derm you can see if they can improve your treatment with the next level .
Take care and welcome again to the forum , the inmates are all friendly and will help as much as they can.
