I'm too old for this!

I know your pain Nick as I suffer from psoriasis.

At the moment I've got it on the inner ear channel, which means its damn itchy all the time and no matter what I try it will not clear up... as yet.

I suffer from that and it drives me up the wall

It's clearing up from on my head where it is usually located, but there was 1 time when I was 16 when I woke one morning to what looked like chicken pox. Within a few days it was apparent that it was not chicken pox but psoriasis gone mad and I had to have various trips to hospital to be wrapped in bandages with some coal tar ointments etc soaked into them. Oh how I must have looked then, I bet people thought I was a mummy for 4 weeks

Wet wrapping is effective though, we used wet wrapping for Luke's Exzema in one bad summer, and he had it all over his scalp, which hasn't long cleared up ( he's 10 now ) we used coal tar shampoo on him, i love the smell of it, we buy our dog coal tar shampoo now just because i love the smell so much
