I have fairly bad psoriasis on my scalp. I've got patches on my face and body too. It doesn't bother me too much on my body but the areas on my scalp (mainly around my hairline) and my face are really hide to cover up. Make up just makes the area dryer and I have to choose between a sore looking head or or a scaly scalp.
GP has prescribed Betnovate scalp application and Daktacort cream for my body. Neither seem to be working and I was told not to put either near my face.
I'm fed up with this now. I've had it for 10 years but it's so much worse now than it used to be. Any advice? I'm not actully 100% certain that it is psoriasis - my old GP said it could be and the new one has just taken my word for it that it is. I've looked at pictures online and it looks like it's psoriasis to me.
