Pustular psoriasis - my MIL diagnosed, can anyone tell me about it?

[CountessDracula]

She got suddenly ill and covered in what they thought were hives about 3 days ago, was taken to hospital and has had v high temp ever since, they have just diagnosed pustular psoriasis

I wondered if anyone had any experience of this? She used to get psoriasis on her hands years ago but cured it with chinese herbs, should I be calling a chinese herbalist to see her in the hospital?

I so hope it can be treated quickly

I just keep having awful visions of Michael Gambon in the singing detective

bump

it is the generalised type ie all over her body

hello you

think twiglett knows a fair bit about psoriasis

I'm sorry to hear this - it's quite nasty . I had what they thought was this, yonks ago, on one arm, and that was bad enough but to have it all over must be very painful.

I'm sure you've googled but here's the national psoriasis foundation bit on it.

Thanks foxy
I have googled it
We are going to see her tomorrow and hoping that she might be a bit better
