Hi,
This is my first post on the forums but I have been here in the past when looking for advice after a bad flare up.
I currently have pustular psoriasis and I'm taking methotrexate to keep it under control. I've found it works pretty well but I find that any intense sun exposure causes a flare up.
One of the main reasons for joining is that I'm looking to get rid of my UVB sunbed. I bought it about a year ago after a referral for light treatment took over 4 months. It was a bit of an act of desperation as I was getting married and the last thing I wanted was to be covered in psoriasis on my wedding day.
I'm pretty certain that the long time between referral and treatment was what cause my psoriasis to go from gutate to pustular. My dermatologist has said that because of the change that there's no way light treatment would work anymore which is kid of frustrating.
Thanks,
Murray
