Psoriasis and itching

[jiml]

This is so helpful!! I too am going crazy! I have had psoriasis since I was 16 ( I am now 47), I don't remember ever itching like this, especially at night. I am up all night scratching and bleeding (the worst being on my back). I was actually crying last night. I haven't cried over this stupid disease since I was in my teens. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with psoriatic arthritis. Did bother me this much until recently. I can hardly walk. I took so many steroids in my teens I try to avoid taking mess....but I guess it's time. Anyone have any info on why some flares are so extreme and do they always progress (being worse each time)? I guess it's time to go to the rheumatologist and dermatologist :(. Again, thank you for the article. Very helpful! Putting Vicks o. Right now!

Hi Amm and when I used to get like that I was prescribed a product called Doublebase Gel
It contains isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin it's a soothing moisturiser and it works for me I hope you soon find some relief
Good luck and keep coming back
