sorry, haven't been on this thread for a few days. OYBBK I also get very different opinion regarding cortisone ointments from the GP and dermitologist. The GP will be hyper about not using too much and the dermitologist says if it works smear it on.

I aked about those immuno suppressant drugs and was told they should only be used as a last resort if condition becomes life threatening. I didn't know psoriasis could be life threatening. Derm said that these drugs could have bad side affects cos thay are effectivelt suppressing your immune system and can cause lymphomas or some such ghastlies.

I everyone's bum trouble on the outside of buttocks or where they meet. I get redness where they meet which is controllable with cortisone etc.
