Hi Everyone
I am new, and excited to have the opportunity to chat with fellow sufferers and share treatments suggestions etc...
I am 27 and have had PalmaPlanterPustulosis (PPP) for nearly 4 years now. When it first started I only had it on my index finger now today I have it all over the palms of my hands and most of my fingers. I also now have Psorisias in my nails and a little on my elbows.
When I first got it I was very depressed as the doctors kept saying it was Ezcema, it took me 2 years to convince the doctor to refer me to a dermatologist!!!! It still gets me down on occasions, when its really bad, but I feel that knowing what it is makes it feel a little better and you can explain to people what it is rather then them thinking you have some contagious disease!!!!!
I have tried so many different creams I couldnt even tell you what they are and to be fair none of them have made any difference... although E45 helps the dry skin once the Blisters have disapeared.
What I hate most is my nails, being a lady and all! I am now trying a scalp treatment on my thumb nail to see if it makes any difference. To be honest I have used it for a week and I think it might be helping a little - even if it is just to stop the crumbling.
Yesterday I noticed a spot of dry red skin on my scalp... I sure hope it isnt spreading to my scalp as well.
I would really like to hear from other people with nail problems and see if anyone has had any success in the treatments.
Anyway, I have gone on and on and on now.
Thanks
