New to forum and wanted to say hi.
I have had psoriasis for twenty years (now in my late 40's). I have been on Enbrel for 14 years and tried every lotion under the sun. Have it on about 30% of body. Mostly from the waist down and elbows.
I was diagnosed with psoriasis arthritis on my knee and that is how I came to taking Enrel. It does a nice job of reducing swelling and took care of terrible sclap problem but that is about it.
The expensive lotions help but , well they are expensive. I mostly use coconut oil. I by the 16oz jar for about $5. Can be greasy but I always wipe down with towel and apply several times a day.
I am an avid boater so in the early spring my exposed areas look real good but eventually it catches up then flakes so I am left with a nice tan and white skin were skin flakes off. Oh well. Tanning helps in winter for me
