Psoriasis rash

[Guest guest]

Funny, me too. In fact, I was in denial for along time because my psoriasis

wasn't that bad.

I just started getting this small rash on my scalp off and on since the age

of about 20.

It would go away for up to 2-3 years. No one ever diagnosed it as

psoriasis, I was told

It was eczema or dermatitis. And no treatment ever really helped.

I mean, sometimes, it would just be a tiny sore on my scalp. But now, as my

PsA has progressed, the rash has gotten TONS worse on my scalp.

I even went to see a dermatologist about 3 weeks ago, because I am losing so

much hair around it,

and he said it was Dermatitis. It's not, but apparently this is a common

mis-diagnosis.

And, unless, you doctor knows that psoriasis doesn't always have the silvery

white appearance, then

They won't know either. So then I think back to other rashes, and I don't

know if they were psoriasis

Or not.

Anyway, I WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE THAT I STARTED METHOTREXATE 3 WEEKS AGO,

and IT IS

HELPING A LOT!!! IT IS THE FIRST THING THAT HAS WORKED!!!!! I START HUMIRA

WITH IT TONITE,

AND I AM VERY HOPEFUL.
