Hi guys,
New user
Not new to Psoriasis or PA though :(
My p is not normally too bad and tolerable - I have it restricted (for the last couple of years) to my elbows (the worst), scalp and belly button!
But as of late, probably in the last 6 months I have had episodes where the P on my elbows gets pustular plaques.. normal scales that are full of greenish puss
. Before the pus turns up they get VERY itchy, hot and painful (you never realize how much pressure you put on your elbows until you can't!) It does not tend to last too long but is a bit concerning and I can't seem to finds much out there on what might be causing it. From what I have read and seen of Pustular Psoriasis I don't think it is that, although some of the symptoms that go with it rings some bells...??
Does this happen to anyone else? What triggers it? How can I stop it?? Do I need to see my Doctor?
I am not on any meds or creams (2 rounds of methodextrate(sp) cleared up almost all of it apart from the parts I mention above), I am currently using glycerin to keep it moisturized and I find this is working well and perhaps cleared some of it up.
Thanks in advance
