Hello 
everyone, I am new to this forum and new to psoriasis although it is in my family. My father had it, my sister started when she was 18 and my two daughters have it. I am 67 years old and have been clear of it, how lucky is that? My sister had it all over her body and is now in a wheelchair due to Psoriatic Arthritis.
About 18 months ago I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis although I had no skin problems. I was certainly in denial of the diagnosis. But not now! I have now been diagnosed with Flexural/Inverse Psoriasis and boy does it itch and so sore. It is at present in my armpits and genital areas and now on my eyelids and slowly spreading. I have been prescribed a topical cream for my arms and other areas except for my eyelids. It was suggested I use Vaseline on my eye lids.
My question is anyone any thoughts of deodorants I would be able to use and also ideas of anything for my eyelids apart from vaseline?
Many thanks and thanks for being there
