RE: Psoriasis in the nose?

[Guest guest]

Dear Annette, this is miserable. Luckily, I've only had it a couple of

times. It's strange but I've used Neosporin and that helped as much as

anything. The gel is sort of soothing and plus it helps with any infection

of any kind. Hope this helps. Take care, Love, Fran

[ ] Psoriasis in the nose?

Hello Everybody,

Do any of you get p in your nose. A Dr and an allergy specialist have both

told me you cannot get it in the nose but I feel that what I get is

psoriasis.If you do what do you find helpful for it. I find it hurts. My

nose feels " thick " and blowing it doesn't help even though it's so irritable

thats what I want to do. I'd be appreciative of any info, especially if

there is info about medication or it's existence in the nose that I can tell

my Dr about.

Bye for now,

Annette

I don't get it in the nose, but I do get it in my ear canals, which I believe is

very similar to your nasal passages. Anyway, I find keeping them free of wax

and applying very light amounts of dovonex once or twice a week helps me.

I get it in my ear canals. The Ear guy said it isn't possible because it is

different tissue. In reality they don't know. When I went on Enbrel the

problem went away. I had sinus surgery years ago. In retrospect, I wonder

how much of it was actually related to PA.

I actually had sinus surgery because they thought I might be having reactive

arthritis because of a chronic undiagnosed infection. Being an old rock

musician, I had other issues with my nose (deviated septum and the like).

They repaired the structural problems but never found any underlying

infection. I wonder how many people diagnosed as obscure allergies actually

have P in the nose?

Fingers crossed.... my sinuses are ALWAYS a problem,

but CT shows no pockets, no blockages, no colonies of

bacteria. Maybe when I start the Remicade, my sinuses

will clear up, too. Thanks for the info, Ronnie.

I have it in both ear canals as well. Next time you see the " Ear guy " tell

him he is mistaken. Looks to me as if psoriasis can affect any tissue, inside

or out, but certain places such as scalp and elbows may be more commonly

afflicted. Orin

me too with the ear canal! and I've had it in the nose.

I am so lucky with my derm...her response is usually...well the medical

books say that PA can't happen in the nose or ears, but it appears that my

patient's body says otherwise.

For what it is worth, I have found neosporin (triple antibiotic generic) to

work best in the nose...probably because it keeps things lubricated so they

can heal...For my ear canals, I flush my ears with hydrogen peroxide (which is

what they use in ear wax removal kits), which seems to help (with the added

benefit of very clean ears:-)

I use Neosporin in my ears and my nose on occasion.

I had an awful time with a sinus infection plus

earache while traveling recently... probably not P

related, but I felt MUCH better within 24 hours of

swabbing the ear canal and nasal passages with

Neosporin.

I also get a dry scaly (scabby?) spot inside one

nostril -- swabbing it with Neosporin helped

tremendously!

I'm not sure if it was the lubricating quality, or the

antibiotic, or both.

fyi - (sorry if I'm giving you info you already know) - my dermy told me that

areas that you use Protopic on need to be protected from the sun as it (protopic

+ sun) increases the risk for cancer. (OK, I realize the wording on that is way

awkward but that is the best I can do right now)

take care,

Beth
