Hi. I get the pustules on my hands, mainly my left, and feet, mainly my right. It's been so bad that I could hardly walk or use my left hand, so I know what you're going through. I used Intensive QV moisturiser and cotton gloves that I bought from the chemist, cutting the glove fingers off so I could feel things and function. As for feet, light cotton socks (airline ones are perfect) over the moisturiser on my feet overnight. Anyhow, I've tried methotrexate, which did little, and before that I tried acitretin which caused awful side effects. Now on cyclosporine and the pustules are under control. Just get a few that are less troublesome and not too obvious to other people. My dermo got me to try something fairly new as combination therapy - Enstilar foam spray - that I now use overnight on my right foot because the sometimes reddish patches are stubborn on the sides of my feet and under the arch, with little pustules. It helps too. It's not perfect, but gee it's nothing like it was a couple years ago. I hope you find something that works for you. All the best, M.

I know it has been awhile since I posted so here is a short update/recap. The pustular psoriasis on my feet put me working from home. I work in a laboratory which test biological specimens. So I felt really uneasy being there with open wounds. Blood test confirmed a staph infection and mononucleosis Which my dermatologist suggested caused my Psoriasis to become pulstulated. I was put on prednisone and doxycycline to stop the blisters until I could start cosentex. However on consentex the blisters started forming again. So the dermatologist stopped the cosentex and started Otezla. The Otezla caused bad headaches and nausea. I developed intense gut and when to the emergency room to find I had diverticulitis. I was given 2 different antiboditics which made the nausea worse. I stopped the Otezla because I read that someone kept taking otezla and lost a section of bowl due to it. The psoriasis is so bad on my palms and feet. I want to just work from home but work wants me back to work, I have ran out of vacation time due to this. I am not sure what the dermatologist will offer next. I just want 2019 to be clear of psoriasis the pain and nausea of the meds. Can anyone give me a suggestion for the dermatologist? I have tried methotrexate, humeria, Stelara, embrel, cosentex and otezla.

Sorry to hear things are not working out for you, I hope this new year brings you better luck in finding something that will work.
