RE: I return with a new DX along with Still's

[Guest guest]

Hi

Well nobody but me seems to think the stupid rash that I have and can't get

rid of is psoriasis. So, I think I have it.....for whatever that's worth!!!

It itches and responds only to prednisone/ hydrocortisone and sun. Yep,

the tanning booth is great for it. But it's only on my elbow, sometimes my

chin and inside my ear (yes, drives me nuts). Because I'm not on

prednisone, I use hydrocortisone cream when it really bugs me (it never

completely goes away). And when I feel the urge I go tanning......I think

that some docs will prescribe ultraviolet light for psoriasis though.

Good luck.
