Is This Psoriasis?
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:24:15 PM »
Hi all I am just after some of your opinions as to if this is Psoriasis.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I am currently seeing a Rheumatologist for joint pain and he seems to think it may be and I could have PA (Psoriatic Arthritis)

I am currently waiting for an appointment with a Dermatologist

In the mean time I thought maybe a few experts on here  may have an opinion

ok thanks for the reply, part of me hopes it is so I can start some treatment for the pain I have in my feet and hands.

Much better than his other option which was he has no idea why I am so sore and that he has 1 in 20 patients he has no idea what is the cause so harder to treat. He even said within 50yrs they will know  :-\ That is not what I want to be left in limbo

Howdy define,

Looks like early stages, although I'm not happy to deliver the news to you. Have you tried glycerine? Seems a lot of people are getting success from using it. The typical treatment is applying it twice per day, after a shower. Massage it into your skin and then lightly pat the excess off.

You could also try wrapping it up in a bandage for the day to lock the moisture in. Be careful not to wrap too tightly so you don't restrict circulation.

Good luck!

Tom

Thanks  for recommending glycerine ThePGuy I will definitely try this after I have seen the Dermatologist I do not think it wise to try and fix anything until properly diagnosed.

I have since I posted the pictures of my feet got similar on my face I only noticed it as my beard got itchy and then the red patches appeared above the beard line, towards my eye and towards the back of my ear.

I am still waiting for an appointment with the Dermy soon I hope

Just thought I would come back and and give an update

I have seen the Dermy and had scrapings taken to rule out a few other things.

Just got back from the follow up appointment and he has confirmed it is Psoriasis and has spoken to my Rheumatologist and I will be going on to Methotrexate (spelling?)

So at least I have a diagnosis and treatment starting soon
