I have had this terrible disease for over 25yrs,and in that time have had all the treatments available. No matter what i take the psorasis always comes back,and at the moment i am at breaking point as my plaque psorasis it is worse than ever I am presently on my 3rd week of fumaderm ,and feel if i have permanent sunburn and prickly heat,has anyone else had these symptons ?
Hello Wang,
Welcome to Psoriasisclub.
Permanent sunburn?
Are you red all over?
And indeed it feels like prickly heat. That is a characteristic of Fumaderm Dimethylfumarate, which is the working substance.
But..... It should only last for 20-30 minutes max, not longer, then you should feel normal again. If you have it permanently then you indeed better reduce the dose. It may be that you are very sensitive for it and need a slower build up.
The disadvantage of DMF is that it is a slow working approach. You need to be patient.
Good luck, and we are here if you have more questions.
