I'm 23 and have had Guttate Psoriasis since I was about 12.
When I was younger it was treated by steroid creams, it went away for a good few years returning when I was around 18! As creams didn't work on my legs (this is where I am most covered in it) I was referred to a dermatologist and given phototherapy treatment - again this worked everywhere apart from my legs. The Psoriasis seemed to disappear as quickly as it appeared around a year later and I've been clear for the past 4 years until about 3 weeks ago. My scalp is covered in thick white psoriasis and my legs are covered in firey red spots, ranging from pin prick size to about a 5 pence, after visiting the doctor twice, as before Dovobet and Silkis don't seem to make any change to my legs, while at the doctors today I was referred to the dermatologist (could take up to 12 weeks for an apt) and in the mean time have been prescribed Exorex Coal Tar Solution so fingers crossed.
Each time my Psoriasis has flared up it's been due to some type of throat infection, I've also recently split up with my fiance so not sure what has brought it on this time! The doctor seemed to think the throat infection due to the type of Psoriasis.
The main problem that I have is it gets me really down, I can hardly even look at my own legs or talk about it without crying, just wondered if anyone else felt the same? I do feel guilty as I know many sufferers have it much worse - I just can't help but get down
Has anyone tried Exorex??
