I've gone from steroids to UV therapy back down to steroids when i moved to london then up to methotrexate (which worked) then off methotrexate when my dermatologist said if you're going for kids you need to stop. A massive flare up and now I'm lumbered with psoriatic arthritis. Which is now sort of under controlled with benapali (biological) and methotrexate.
I tried diet. That's not worked.UK Dermatologists are very risk averse and will, in my experience, do fuck all.
My US dermatologist had me in on UV therapy after not very long and it cleared it the fuck up. However, UV damage.Can you move somewhere sunny is what I was asked once ...

Bump.
Mines been creeping up on me again. Generally fucks off by this time of year but lingering like a fart on the Central line.
To date I’ve only seen gp and been on topicals(calcitrol and betnovate), time to ask for a referral and try and get on something like Stelara or Otezla? A little research shows these run at around £10k/year so presume the nhs doesn’t dole them out to everyone.
I don’t have massive patches but it’s really starting to bum me out this time around and is fucking with my bodies ability to heal minor cuts and scrapes now..
