Having said that I would talk to your dermatologist anyway as Enstilar is not for long term use and you would be better off going for an Oral or Bio treatment see here: Oral Treatments For Psoriasis and Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
Great news about you last scan
Thanks for your reply, Fred. And thank you very much for that photo. I had suspected Erythrodermic Psorisis, just by the way I was feeling physically and mentally. But many of the photos online, didn't quite match up. The one you lined me to, appears to look far more accurate to me. Really cold hands, poor blood circulation, couldn't regulate temperature, hyperthermia and dehydration. Because I'm on so many meds, and I have a host of other issues atm, I think I mistakenly overlooked my psoriasis. I'm not sure how to upload photos, but I will have a go after this. Thank you so much, Fred.

Especially with a brain cancer, I hope that your medical specialists communicate with each other. The dermatologist, neurologist, oncologist will have no delays in discussing your care, I would hope.
Because maybe there is a psoriasis treatment that will help you without bringing harm regarding the cancer. Because 50% coverage of your skin sounds so painful and uncomfortable. I hope you can tolerate one of the many therapies that bring relief and clear skin. The doctors have to work together for your safety, I think.
Thanks for your response, Forest. Yeah, I must say I was fairly pleased with the results last time, as I feared it maybe worse with this one. Unfortunately communication amongst my "healthcare team" hasn't been great. My GP has been prescribing me Enstilar and I haven't seen a dermatologist for years. But I am on a waiting list that I've been on since January to see a dermatologist. I'm also on a waiting list for Muscular & Skeletal since October 2022. But thank you so much for your response.
