I've had Psoriasis since I was a teenager and over the past 20 years I've tried pretty much every topical treatment there is. It's pretty mild on elbows, knees and abdomen, but severe on my scalp and ears. I'm currently using Enstilar which has worked well for 4 years, but as a side effect gives me painful periaural dermatitis on my face! It's also a nightmare to use as it takes a bucket load of baby oil followed by 5 x shampoo applications to get it out off my thick hair as it's so greasy.
Finally, I spoke to a GP who has scalp psoriasis themselves and has referred me to a dermatologist. I'm waiting on the appointment now, but just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect? I'm worried they will suggest UV treatment which will be impractical going back and forth to hospital (I don't drive) 3 x a week with a 50 hour a week job and a 2 year old. I've also heard it isn't massively effective for scalp psoriasis.
Sorry for the long post!
