I'm stumped its my first year /Any thoughts appreciated .Is this a typical .....
Hi again Reggie it's not easy to say what brought on this relapse, but in your other post you say the dermatologist said you had exzema and psoriasis .....you are on a steroid cream that hasn't affected it
You can spend your life wondering what caused the flare up, but it could be anything ....stress , something you ate , a wound, there are countless triggers
I would suggest you go back to your dermatologist and tell him the creams aren't working and ask to move to the next step which may be uv treatment or oral drugs to control the psoriasis although I know nothing of exzema treatments
But you need to arm yourself with what you want to do ( browse the prescribed treatments board for ideas to discuss with your dermatologist )
