Psoriasis

Hi, I have moderate psoriasis, and since I was diagnosed about 4 years ago, the only time my skin cleared up was on a biological treatment at the hospital for something else. Sadly, I developed an allergy, and once stopped, it came back again. I think I've used every single cream the GP can prescribe, but they're not clearing it. What can I do?

Re: Psoriasis

Hi there,
It sounds like you need to go back to see a dermatologist.

There are so many new treatments for psoriasis, which is really positive. Depending on what type, how severe your psoriasis is, the dermatologist can talk you through options such as light therapy, standard tablets and the newer biologic treatments (there are many different kinds, so an allergy to one doesn't mean you won't be able to have something else). I'm confident there will be a way to improve this and manage it.

Good luck!
