Psoriasis on feet, elbows, palm of hand

Posted Mon 30 Jun 2025 09.55 by Intrepid201

Psoriasis on one of my feet. The heel and along the side and in between my big toe. Tops of my toes. I tried Flexitol feet balm which calmed it down but the dry skin made absorption difficult. Feet and heel -used a mini dremel, gently ground down the skin and applied creams and it made the absorption better. I cut the peeling skin gently, then applied Flexitol Heel balm. - GP prescribed Enstillar which healed the broken skin. This has calmed things down. - bamboo socks which helped retain moisture. Got them from Boots but can't find any anymore now. Elbows and legs 1. Fludroxycordite tape recommended by Dermalogist 2. Dermovate ointment. Palm of hands - flexitol hand balm + dermovate ointment and bamboo gloves [Boots UK] I've also gone Gluten free. It's under control but not cured. Hope this helps others.

Hi, I am Malcolm a 78 year old male who has had P for several months and it just seems to get worse daily.

Hi there, I bought bamboo socks on Amazon which I find helpful, they put less pressure on my lower leg area reducing swelling.
