I have had to deal with since the bane that is Psoriasis since I was about 13 years old. Its something that developed out of no where, a small little spot on my neck that someone thought was a ringworm, that later spread to me entire scalp, neck and back. Highschool was a nightmare, I had people commenting that they could smell something terrible when it actually was the psoriasis on my neck oozing.
My mother had no idea how to help with it all. She made me try every remedy from health shops. She made me use nappy rash cream because she thought it was a form of cradle cap. All of it only made it worse.
Eventually my sister in law took me a dermatologist - Dr Tenea. She gave me the regular corticosteroids any Dr would prescribe. It helped, for about a year. Then I went on Allgergostop treatment with The Advanced centre of Homeopathy. It also helped. I preferred the homeopathic route but the treatment it self was very expensive for a student with no medical aid.
When I got pregnant, I had absolutely no psoriasis. It was like a miracle. I honestly thought that it was gone for good. The day after I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, I had the first spot at the back of my neck.
17 months later, I have gone through one dermatologist treatment; two allgerstop treatments and diet changes. Nothing has taken it away. At best only half of the psoriasis had gone but came right back.
I really have no idea what to do now.
