New to psoriasis, bugger !

[Phillylou]

Hi folks , I've got Psa as well as osteoarthritis but have never suffered with the associated skin problems , until now. I recently started with dry skin round my eyes which has now erupted into a weeping split scab , am using hydrocortisone gently at present but need advice from the people who really know how to cope and that means you . Any advice would be great please . I don't want to keep having to go out in minion goggles so my poorly eyes aren't on display . 😎😳😎

Are you also using a moisturiser/emollient to try to keep the delicate skin round your eyes soft? You can also us emollient to 'wash' your face rather than soap which is very drying. Good luck. Also you can ask your pharmacist for advice on treatment without an appointment.

Hi lovesradio, I've been diagnosed with Psa for two years now but it's my brother who's always had the skin problem . Apart from some flexural psoriasis this is mt first appearance of the problem round my eyes. I've since seen the nurse practitioner who's confirmed I can use hydrocortisone cream lightly on the area and that it is working to help relieve the rash . Thanx for your advice x
