I know this is a werid request but yesterday night i saw the first person on your programme with psorasis(Plam psorasis)I am 13 and i have psorasis however its mild…At the moment…I rarely put on my cream when i was younger i never put it on because it smelt to much and it was to much hassle seeing as i didnt understand about what my skin condition was also because i havent seen anyone else with psorasis i felt so different i almost felt unhuman. A few months ago i went to my local doctor an they said i had it mildly and nagged that i need to put on my cream twice a day i said'I dont like to its to much hassel and my cream smells plus just feel so different and arkward..'He said dont worrie however if you dont put on your cream it would be even worse and more reconizable..(Though they used to think it was contajus in P.E so people used to say Eww and ask if they will get it too.'It never has helped my confidence but there getting used to it in Pe and dont seem to mind so much…Anyway he also gave me some none smelly cream which i used for a few weeks on the go but now i hesitate to put it on A.because now it slightly stings and feels sore when i put it on as if its making it worse and its not helping it get better B.I feel different and i feel it will go away if i think about it..But its never the case it it? I watch your show when i can and it fasinates me to see all the different things you do to help people who feel different the same as i do… Just PLEASE embarrasing bodies team PLEASE can you help me think of something to make me feel more confident in my self with this terrible condition i have it on my knees, Base of each foot, Ankles, Legs, El bows,Genital areas, My chest, And around the bottom part of my stomach it sounds like a lot but there in small patches in those areas…Please can you possible help me think of some way to make me think possitivly about my condition and help build my self-esteema and confidence…Thank-you!

I have had psoriasis since 15 and now i am 38. I have traveled the world in search of cures and creams. I have discovered a cream called Dermovate by GlaxoSmithKline. It really helped me. Also, my dietician also recommend not to eat red meat, frozen peas, dairy products like cheese, milkm, icecream etc and always drink plenty of water. Also try to relax more and don't get too stressed out with pressure.

I am 28 and have suffered from psoriasis since the age of 15. I tried many medications and creams and sunbeds. It was aprocess of illimination but i started taking a vitamin called milk thistle and this worked for me. I also found cutting down on alcohol helped. When my skin was dry i wrapped it up in aquous cream and clingfilm. Keep trying to find what works for you.It took me many years but a combination of differnt things helped.

I have had psorisis since i was 16/17 and i am now 19. I have it on my legs knees elbows and hands i always wear long trousers and jumpers in red hot weather i get really embarrised with people lookin at me. I have had so many creams and uv light treatment but didn't help. I really need help i want to get rid of it asap:@
