Psoriasis In Month And On Bottom Lips
I have had psoriasis for 33 years. Started on the tops around both my ears and spread to my scalp and inside my ears. It has shown up on varies parts of my body, but the mainstay of the psoriasis is on my scalp ears, and some nails. I have not taken any biologic, but have been on many many steroid creams and strengths depending on what part of the body I was treating. I was given a kenalog spray for my scalp, but now my insurance has discontinued to cover it. Also, that spray was good for… read more
Thank you for the hugs and kind words.
I had appt. with my nature path dr. Due to the flare in my mouth he has suggested a gut cleansing again. Also some testing to try to get to the root cause and try to pinpoint triggers for me. I really don't want to give into the auto immune med. therapies just yet so I'm going to give his suggestion a try. I do know as long as I'm eating better and reducing stress I do better. It would really be nice to know what triggered this flare for me.
Sorry to hear that you suffer a lot. Indeed the stress increases both the psoriasis flare-ups as well as its intensity. Though it is difficult, please try not to think about it as far as possible. Even I am having it on my scalp, ears, eye lids, under the nose and some times on fore head. I use 1 % Hydrocortisone ointment or cream on the patches on my face. It helps and make sure you keep your skin hydrated all the time.
Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!!!
Hi Bev . Yes I have it . Its very rare from what I've read. It's on top bottom and sides . Only vaseline helps. I went to derm who told me I had oro facial granulamatosis. What !!@@? No I didn't and a biopsy proved I did not but came back as " some type of excema " but I " know " it's psoriasis. Its very uncomfortable tight and painful in this area. My gp said was herpes initially !!!! 2nd gp antibiotics gave me and derm didn't know straightaway either it was even excema / psoriasis. I tried elocon but burned the mouth off me. I'm getting Tacrolimus on Monday and option to go on cyclosporin but THAT feels like using a hammer to crack a nut.
Oh that sounds very painful. Ive had it in my mouth and nose very unpleasant. Are you on any antihistamines? They help a little. The biological drugs seem to be the only thing that works. I have other autoimmune disorders but my son paid for a years supply but although my skin cleared up completely i have liver failure and I had to stop them. I have 6 months treatment of stelara injections ? I hope you are getting relief xox
