Hi Everyone,

I've noticed that my psoriasis is spreading badly at the moment, particulary on my face, which really upset me this morning.

I am waiting on a call back from the doctor, but was wondering if you could recommend any creams etc to help?

    I don't have psoriasis but, in any case, I think this is a question for doc, rheumatologist or pharmacist. The methotrexate might need taking into consideration. I hope it clears up soon.

    I already take Meth, but it doesn't seem to be helping at the moment.

    Hi Debra sorry I cant offer any help, but I just want to say I hope it clears up very soon for you....If you don't want any more appointments I would go and see your chemist....that's always my first port of call x
    Love

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear :oops: I meant it the other way round ie in getting a cream or somesuch for your psoriasis you need to ensure that there won't be any conflict with your meth.

    Hi I have psoriasis in my hair and have found Betnovate scalp application prescribed by my gp helps relieve it.

    Hope this helps
