Hi,
I am new to this forum but not new to the hellish world of psorasis. My trouble started about 10 years ago when ( i Think ) the use of hair bleach triggered psorasis to break out on my scalp, i tired the recommended tar based shampoo with little success and with the symptoms worsening i stared using Betacap scalp solution, this worked without problems for years but being a steriod i slowly became reliant on the stuff and going any time longer than a day would become a problem, i saw specialists who reccomended more natural options because betacap was not intended for long term use (8 years of use). The scales have spread to my ears and red patches appeared around my eyes that i have tried and failed to treat with mild steroid creames and just yesterday (xmas day:( ) i woke up to find my whole face bright red, really dry , flaking and extremly sore. Im at a loss as to what has caused it and what can help it. Its clearly a reaction to something or psoraisis has finally taken over my whole head, my usual solution is extremly painful to use on my scalp, it burns and seems to have stopped working and nothing seems to be calming my face, i have had flare ups before but nothing like this. Im seeing a dr tomoro but not holding my breath. Im a student and too skint to go private and 6months waiting on the NHS list is too long. I just want to know if anyone here has had similar experiences or can offer advise to me. Many thanks.
