living with psoriasis

[jiml]

I use the Portuguese equivalent to dermovate .i stopped salt and sugar years ago,and very rarely eat red meat .I don't have much of a problem in the summer as i have an hour or two in the sun most days although the skin on my forearm is very thin too much sun over the years .
one small tube of hydrocortizone for the f lectures ie under arms and groin,lasts two or three months.
the more you worry about it the worse it gets.
eat lots of fruit drink lots of water get some sun and chill out keep the blood pressure
 down good luck

Hamish you are very lucky living in a sunny country, I used to find that the sun worked well to clear me. Unfortunately we don't very often get enough sun to clear us unless we get an unusual summer.
I would think the steroid cream is most likely the cause of the thin skin though
I agree worry and stress can make it worse, it sounds to me as if you have a good life. I hope you are enjoying the forum
