Hi,
Sorry to hear about your child :-( it's not fair!
I first had psoriasis when I was 5 yrs.......mum and dad got me to play outside in the sun as much as possible and it helped (school even let take my top off in breaks to help)
I've had UVB (light therapy) a few times now, it works well for me but remission times can be hit and miss! I suffer with server plaque psoriasis, I wouldn't know how it affects pustular!
All I can say for me is that I'm only clear with high strength drugs or the light therapy.......given the choice I prefer the light as I feel less side affects and more natural.
Could there be any thing that has caused stress to your child? Change of school, difficulties at home, bullying? Stress can cause flares and children do get stressed!
Like I said I was 5 yrs old.......I changed schools around that time!
Good luck
