Over the last while it has become way worse. I have spots all over. The backs of my hands are covered with small spots that seem to almost merge to cover the backs. My arms, sides and legs are dotted as well my other knee, ankle, sides, butt have small potato chip sized plaques. I have a new plaque under my left eyebrow and on my forehead. Something seems to be going on with my back. The old plaques on my knee, elbows etc. are larger and way thicker. All the spots are a new extra thick style plaques.
Anyone experience this? Are all the spots guttate?
Should I consider some hardcore immune drugs?
Any insights are appreciated.
Hi again Spot On. Im glad to see you have started a thread you should get more responses here . I'm not sure if it's guttate or not but I think you are certainly having a flare of the disease.
I think it's time you saw a dermatologist and got some advice, on what is available as the next step in Canada. But I guess it may be time to move on if creams aren't helping and UV is failing ..the next step I would think will be one of the oral treatments.
Perhaps methotrexate or acetretin they both have good success but different side effects .....but certainly you need be considering the next step
