Love walking in the Surrey Hills and nature.
I hope you have had some improvement or come to deal with this?
Hi, I had creams, potions, steroid creams for years before I was referred for uvb treatment at hospital, it was 10 seconds to start with, 3 times a week, and gradually built up time, it did clear my psoriasis, I had 90% of my body covered. Spent a fortune on shampoos, creams etc and got very depressed, people do not realise what an awful thing this is to have to deal with. Keep pestering your GP, again and again for the uvb treatment, I ended up sobbing in the doctors, and begging them to do something. Sorry I can’t be of any more help to you and take care, I do understand what it is like.
