I called doctors office today to check on test results. Another day or 2, meanwhile im being attacked ! I am not sure whats going on. Right now my scalp an it has come round on my cheeks. Looks like chin straps. People at work are going "whats wrong with your face"? My back an front all around is solid. All on my calves to. Heres what i dont understand. Believe me its freaky ! Starting from calves its creeping up my leg. No red splotches or things that look like bites. The skin is real red an white like map an its traveling up. Looks different than my top. Scary like im bleeding under my skin an real red. What am I seeing? Is part of what i got to look forward to? Is this this the start of more ? I wore my fall protection today at work, seems like where all straps wrap around my body brings it on. Now its getting up around my "gonads" YIKES I been reading they like to start topical an ease on up to more powerful meds.  This cannot happen with me! If I have whats considered bad. Geez its going to take more than that. Cortozone shot an a pack touch it ? WoW man, this sucks bad !

It sounds strange, it seems to be aggressive if it is psoriasis as they suspect it is, topicals aren't likely to shift it. I would be inclined to ask for one of the oral medications like acetretin although you may be required to try methotrexate first see Methotrexate... and..... Acitretin they only start on the topicals  because they are cheaper but from your description you need to be on something systemic .... That's just my opinion of course

Psoriasis is not predictable on where it occurs and you'll find that people here have varying degrees of coverage. Plus, there are different types of psoriasis as well. Although it is common for doctors to start you out on topicals, I would hope that with your coverage they would immediately move forward with something else. Most meds take awhile to work however with some being faster than others. Hopefully you will get your results back soon and get treatment. Psoriasis can be quite miserable I'm afraid. Hope you get some relief soon!!!!!

It's an awful disease I know. Before I got clear I carried a dustpan and brush with me.

Scratching is a natural thing to do but it just makes you sore, try to cool it down with a cold can of drink, or a packet of frozen peas wrapped in a cloth ( or you might get ice burns )

Do you have coconut over there at your place Yabi?
It is said over here on the forum, that this relieves and helps against the itching on the most worse places. It is no real treatment though.
