Hi guys. Back in 2004 I was admitted to hospital with a severe case. I was wrapped up like a mummy & greased up in all kinds of ailments.  :(  Finally, after most of it clearing, what was left was cleared by UVF treatment. I went 2 years clear & was made up.  ;D Then, 3 years ago, I started developing red patches, some dry but mainly smooth on the skin - but they've now got worse. My doctor says it still is psoriasis but I'm not so sure now. As I say, I'm covered in red blobs, some small, some patchy but they are smooth to touch on the skin. Non of my creams are working. It also seems to flare up more when I'm due on my period. Can you help ?  :cry: Thank you

Please remember there are multiple forms of psoriasis (guttate, plaque).  If you are skeptical of your derm's diagnosis then go for a second opinion, or ask if a skin biopsy can be performed.
