Coal tar treatment

[jiml]

Hey and thanks for your reply, gosh I wish I could dump the doctor I'm going to literally beg on my hands and knees if I have to to get him to refer me to a dermatologist up the hospital , I'm even considering going private, creams are so time consuming especially with 4 children. And school and nursery runs, coal tar used to work amazing for me but that was during my child hood, this flare up is pretty bad and very sore ( never have it been this sore before esp on my legs ) thanks for your advice, this is a fab forum xxx

Hi again Stacey if you can afford £70- 80 for a private consultation I'm just guessing at the price
It may well be worth if your doctor doesn't refer you tell him you want him to refer you privately this will cut the waiting time down ( but really shouldn't be necessary these days) if you get to see the dermatologist tell him what you want. Then go NHS it's allowed
Fred is probably right he may not start you on fumaderm he will probably try methotrexate first. If you can hack it it's ok it got my psoriasis down extremely well I just felt lousy on it.
If you struggle with it they should offer you alternatives among them Fumaderm
Good luck. And keep updating
