Hi, I am a fellow psoriasis sufferer. Taclomex has been the best ointment for me. It is EXPENSIVE!!!!!! With my insurance it is $75.00. Without insurance I would be paying $325.00 My doc does have a $25 coupon that that can be used if you don't have insurance. Whoopee. My worst is on my scalp and an area on my back. The last time I was in he injected them with cortisone. I don't know how you effectivly treat the hands. Good luck

Sally, I have plantar palmar pustural psoriasis, (hands and feet with blisters) it is the hardest type to treat. The only thing I have found that makes it go away is hormone replacement. I was on this for about 3 years and it totally cleared during that time.

Another thing that does seem to help some is tanning. All the creams and drugs never seemed to do a thing for me.

One more thing that seems to help is if you cover it for a few days, but this only helps for a few days before it rears it's ugly head again. It's a flustrating disease!

Awwwww....for crying out loud!!!! What the heck is wrong with our messed up immune systems?? I'm so sorry to hear you now have to deal with this as well. I don't have any suggestions for help, but wanted to let you know I feel for you. Seems like I've read that these two go together sometimes like fibromyalgia, etc.

Good luck in finding something that helps! Hugs...

I guess your psoriasis is completely different than mine. It's a wierd disease. I have different psoriasis on my back than whats under my arm pits.

If I did it right, this is the first time in all the years I have been on this forum or over on Brain Talk that I have done a 'quote"!!!! If I didn't do it right, sorry

YIKES!!! Sorry about your new yucko's Sally...

I have added another autoimmune prob to my list this yr too... I started out itching and thought I had hives.... After 3 different Dr's ... I was dx'd w/Dermatographism, which shows itself in welts when something scratches or rubs against my skin.

I take RX antihistamines at timed intervals or I would be one big red blotch... The itching was just about to drive me outta the last little bit of mind I have left...

The Dr told me to keep Aquaphilic cream on my skin, which also helps along w/Hydrocortisone cream when it's real bad.... take care....

A friend of mine has psoriasis and it drives her crazy!!!!! I really feel for ya!
