Case Summary  |  My Psoriasis Battle


Condition Skin Psoriasis
Case Description

I have had psoriasis for a very long time. I inherited it from my dad. I lived in Florida for a while, so being out in the sun was the best thing to clear up my skin. I have noticed lately that I think my allergies have made it worse somehow. Anyways, tanning worked the best but I cannot figure out why it is not working that well anymore. It does not clear me up completely. I saw a dermatologist recently and he put me on an ointment and the talconex. Talconex works great but the other ointment, is not so great. I feel like they always try to give you the cheapest medicines they can find and I had to push to get the talconex because it's expensive. I really wish there was a cure! It's so embarrassing, especially at my age and I'm only 25. It's currently all over my legs and I can't even wear shorts during the summer.

The salt water worked really well and I especially like using the Talconex.
