AutumnLeaf's Intro

[Bill]

Welcome AutumnLeaf,

You will find here kind and helpful people with experience enough to answer any question about psoriasis and its treatment. You will not find any dishonesty here as I did recently on one of the most prominent psoriasis forums. A fellow there had stolen before and after images from a dermatology practice's web site and presented them as his own, claiming that he had been to a dermatologist and tried everything from topical treatments to the latest biologic drugs, all without effect. The miraculous result was attributed to a herbal cream from India. When I alerted the moderators to the dishonesty, they did nothing. In contrast, when I alerted the forum to the dishonesty my post was rapidly removed and I was suspended from the site. What sort of help could you expect from a site that protects dishonest people and hides the exposure of dishonesty to its readers?

The only thing that might upset you here are a few of Andy's pics.

Cheers

Hello and welcome AutumnLeaf, as many before have said we are a friendly group all be slightly mad in some cases.  I cannot advise with respect to scalp psoriasis but others here have plenty of knowledge.  I will reiterate though this is a very safe place to discuss your condition so settle back, relax and again welcome to the club.

Hi Autumn Leaf,
 I don't have psoriasis but my son does. This is a fantastic forum with great people and lots of information. My son had quite bad scalp psoriasis, shampoos and topicals did not help. He is a teenager and was becoming quite traumatized by his psoriasis so we quite quickly, less than a year, went from diagnosis to Stelara a biologic drug he takes by injection. He is 100% clear and we are all very happy with our decision. Could not have done it without the information and support in this forum.  I hope that you find answers and treatments that work well for you.

Don't listen to him, everyone else enjoys my pictures, in fact, they beg me to show more but I tell l them to stop being greedy !  

On a serious note, if you ask any questions that you have, we will answer you ASAP and most of all, enjoy yourself Leafy on here

For our new members, that will never happen here. Bill already knows this, but I thought I would take this opportunity to point out that Psoriasis Club is very proactive against fake claims. All our members can contact me or a Staff and we encourage you to do so if you ever see posts like the one mentioned by Bill.

Hi Autumnleaf nice to meet you

I have had scalp P in the past, I would probably try drying your hair gently with a cool dryer.
Also finding a shampoo that doesn’t aggravate made a big difference.

I hope that you enjoy it here!
