Rick, God Bless you....hang in there. It is hard. Much harder then people think

if they are not affiliated with these ailments.

Regarding your face. I am not trying to sound silly...but are you 100% sure it

is P starting on your face? I thought that was happening to me too. Went to the

Derm, it turned out to be Perioral Dermatitis and Periocular Dermititis. A low

dose of daily antibiotics and a prescribed lotion (Klaron) were the trick to

getting it cleared up. Took several weeks, but it works.

just a suggestion. Hope you have better days ahead

Hi Rick, have you tried tea tree oil at all? It may be gentler for your

face, but I have found it to help all over with my psoriasis. Someone on this

site mentioned using tea tree oil shampoo for the scalp, which I started and

my scalp P got much better (got worse again when I stopped using the shampoo,

so I am using it again... makes a version that you can get in

most salons). So I thought it might help on my face and elbows, and I got a

gel version from the health food store (the brand I tried is J/A/S/O/N). It has

helped my face and elbows more than any of the prescription meds.

Also, when I get a patch on my eyelids (pretty common for me), I don't use

the tea tree because it stings if you get it in your eyes, but I use neosporin

or a triple antibiotic ointment and it seems to help.

Good Luck!
