Excema patch?

spondy

Hi.

I've had joint problems for ages now and I had an x-ray in December.

Something has been bugging me and I know I should just wait for the results but I would like people to share their experiences.

I've had an excema patch on my wrist which just won't go. Even with steroid cream. Can you get this with psioratic arthritis? (bearing in mind it's just in one small place?)

Thanks.

Hi Val. Not sure, the doc said it was excema! It's just strange as it's in the one place and around my wrist joint. Keep waking up with numb hands aswell!

valval

does sound strange what you using on it ??

Dermovate and lots of aqueous. It clears then comes back.

What condition do you have?

I can't really help, but I have patches just below my knees which I've had for years and they never go away no matter how much moisturiser, i've even been known to use the foot file on them lol. My rheumy thinks I may have PA and I'm now wondering if this is psoriasis too, interesting!! Sorry not much help!

Val I've noticed vertical ridges on my nails but not sure if it is normal looking. It is only noticable when looking closely. Are yours really obvious?
