Anyone had any luck dealing with this? I've tried heaps of different types of creams which all help to a certain extent but the psoriasis is always there.

Thankfully, I can hide it on the soles of my feet but hiding the flaky skin and tiny bumps on the palms of my hands is a bit more difficult especially as I deal with people every day with hearing aids, etc.

I've just been 'living with it' cos I'm tired of spending money on creams that don't really do the job.

Ever used any with tar? I use that everytime I get a patch that decides to show up. Oddly enough it disappears forever but pops up somewhere else lol. Doesn't work for everyone I guess but does it for me.

Yep, I used the strongest prescription tar stuff available - all it did was make my feet and hands smell like wet bitumen lol Thanks for the suggestion tho :)

I've had what my dermatologist calls pustular psoriasis, but not on hands or feet. It is quite unpleasant. I don't have any now because I use Humira, which I take for arthritis.

When I had pustular psoriasis, I had good luck with Protopic ointment (Tacrolimus 0.1%), which is (according to my derm) safe on skin folds. Generally I had good luck with Ultravate too, but my pustular psoriasis was on skin much too sensitive for a steroid that strong.

Finally, have you tried sunshine? It makes a big difference for me.

Hi, I've recently developed psoriasis too. Or it seems so. I have not seen a dermatologist yet because I can't take any more time off work and nobody works after  5pm. Anyway, I use Doak Oil Forte on my hands, and then apply Zinc Oxide and wear white cotton gloves all the time. They kind of alleviate the pain I get when touch things.(I have a physical job, work mainly with my hands and have two little kids at home, so I use my hands all the time. i put latex gloves on top of the cotton ones when I have to deal with water.). I know you said tar preparations don't help you but Doak Oil is just coal tar liquid, no additives, and gives some comfort. At least, to me.  Could there be any correlation b/n this and UC. I have it, too.

I recently started  reading 'Healing psoriasis - the Natural Alternative' by Dr. John O.A. Pagano.

It seems he has helped a lot of people.

Take care,

Hi Svetla, the only connection I know of between UC and Psoriasis is that they are both auto-immune diseases. It seems that once you get one AI disease, you're susceptible to others as well.
