Hellooo
MY name is Kim, Im 21 from Manchester UK. I have suffered with P ever since I noticed a weird rash on my neck which was hard (tough) skin and very red and bumpy. This happened when I was 16 and stretched from my right to left shoulder. I didnt know it was P at the time but used Sudocrem and it went. Didnt go to the docs. This flared up when I started my GCSE's. I was a size 16 - I'm 6'1 so was rather in proportion for my height.
I then was P clear for at least 2 years. I then started working and due to the pressure and demands of the job, I put on a lot of weight and my P came back on my elbows only. It was manageable back then and doc prescribed dobovet and diprobase.
I then started getting worse, and the ballooned to a size 28 bottom, size 24/26 top. bearing in mind my height, i looked rather chubby as opposed to obease.
I am now 21, suffering still on my elbows. I have a patch in the same place on each hand. I have sore skin where my engagement ring is. I have a bad patch on my left knee. I ave odd spots on back, tummy and legs, all of which i would be more than happy having, if the big bits on my elbows and knee went. my scalp is sore and scaley.
I use t-gel on my head which soothes it. I use diprobase, aqueous cream, vaseline intensive care extra dry, hemp, johnsons baby, honey stuff, take multi vitamins and try and get on sun bed. Last time I went on sunbed, I was so sore, my elbows were in bandages. I think i over did it and plan to go back on now my skin isnt as sore, only for 6 mins at a time.
I am going to go back to the DR, as all these natural creams, i.e.non-drug enduced, are not working. they are a great moisturisor and makes the plaques come off, but its a repetative process, which hasnt worked.
I am at my lowest i have been.
i went to turkey last year and my p went completely. i am going again at end of aug and need to get sorted. im dreading my bikini :-(
