Jim's Fumaderm and hormone treatment

21March 2014

As I was working a few days ago, I got a stark reminder of my earlier times with psoriasis, when I knocked my leg on a tree in the garden and cut it. ( not a bad cut) but it reminded me of the times I was using steroid ointments and they thinned my skin quite a lot. I would add it was probably misuse by me that caused it as I was told to just put the creams on the actual plaques which, when you are fairly well covered in plaques is very difficult, I used to smear it on and quite often it was rubbed into surrounding areas causing my problems.
I am glad to say my skin has recovered to a large extent although I am still very careful even now
