Better then worse

[..nicky..]

Everytime my p gets better and nearly goes it flares up  :'(
Why i dont do anythng different i carry on the way before
its like a nightmare that wont end ragh
I started shouting at somone the other day and all they did was ask what was on my skin
im falling apart  
and i dont now what to do

(((((nicky)))))) you poor thing -  I'm sorry to hear about that.
Are you on any specific treatments for the p at all?
It must be really frustrating for you ... but perhaps there is some trigger that you can eventually get to the bottom of.
I know p does sometimes set its own rules :-/ but keep your chin up sweetie - and you can shout at us all you like on here

Hi Nicky,

I've never had UVB myself but it seems that it is more of a temporary type of treatment, so it will give relief for a few months & then the p can come back.
 
The one thing that would worry me about uvb it is the risk of skin cancer  :-/ and it is not recommended to be continued indefinitely.

Its more of a quick-fix type treatment - so while it can help clear the symptoms - it might not get to the root cause - as sometimes p can be triggered by something in the diet or a mineral deficiencey etc.

I have had so much help with diet/nutrition/cleansing for my skin that if you ever were looking for another treatment - I would really recommend giving it a go!!!!
 
Sometimes I get flare-ups but I can pretty much get myself back on track by stepping up my regime  

Take care,

Yes i was worried about skin cancer Butim only 16 and i dont htink they would have given it to me if they thoguht that the risk was very high
I have only have uvb for a few weeeks now but befor ei treid all the creams and they didnt work
apparently uvb is best for the type i have  which is guttate
take care

[Jade]

you are right about creams
I don't have the guttate type but some of the alternative greenies say that tea tree oil really helps in the bath for itching. I think that type of p seems to work better maybe if its treated more like an infection  :-?.
... and obviously with the great summer we are going to have   you might not need to have uvb forever 8-)
Anyway, hope things get better for you soon.

Hiya Nicky,

Yes I know how you feel, I was the same.... when it getting gone, I was so over the moon but P from different skin area comes back... I was so down with it... and couldnt believe it!!! So I went to the doctor again (stand-in doctor and my doctor was on holiday) gave me different treatment, I havent done that before but it was great help... stop itching and stop spread around the skin. It is called EPADERM 3 in 1 emollient bath additive and soap alternative for bit a while till I get an appointment to see dermatologist. But I hope epaderm help me for long term but wait and see.
