New to psoriasis

[Turnedlight]

Hi nice to meet you!

I have had problems with deodorants in the past, though some of the sensitive varieties are fine. While your psoriasis is bad there I’d suggest not using anything, and giving them a quick wipe halfway through the day - if water makes them sore, just use a moisturising cream you can get on with instead.

I know that bicarb works very well as a ‘natural’ deodorant but it makes me itch after a while.

I had thought of getting some personal wipes, is that something you have tried?

Yes, baby wipes can work. Just a question of trying them to see if you get on with them.

Thank you for that, I will certainly give them a try

Welcome

I' ve had psoriasis under my armpits, but never had problems applying deodorant on it. Any fragrance and alcohol free one will work. Also, a roller was better than a spray, don't know why, but rollers never hurted a bit. If they area is "wet" it helps to apply any cream with zinc, just any ordinary diaper rash cream will do.

And I agree with Caroline, if you have PA,you need a systemic or bio drugs. And I see you already have failed two, so I would ask for a bio.

Hi thank you Maryam. I find that some deodorants irritate which they didn't before. I'll try a roll on one though.
I do hope everyone is well and keeping warm
