Looking for Advice on Controlling Psoriasis Symptoms

Hello. I am Noemi. I am a long time symptomatic/recently diagnosed psoiatic disease sufferer. I am looking for any advice to help control both skin and joint symptoms. Two very specific skin problems I have with the psoriasis: 1. I have the skin lesions on my lady bits, as well as in other sensitive places 2. I now seem to have a horrible reaction to adhesives. I have always been sensitive to them, but now, as soon as I apply a bandage or (even worse) my Dexcom G6 sensor it begins to burn underneath immediately. I look forward to getting to know and learn from my Alikes.

My psoriasis patches are usually on my extensors in legs and arms, and they burn as well. What is your treatment?

Currently I am on Taltz and Methotrexate. I also have Clobetasol Ointment and Clotrimazole Cream that I mix together and apply topically for breakthrough flare ups. What are your treatments? Please include any moisturizers that you use. I need a good moisturizer.

Hi Noemi! I was diagnosed with psoriasis as a child (about 25 years ago). I’ve only just started getting patches in my sensitive lady regions but I can sympathize with you on how uncomfortable it is. I’m currently taking Cosentyx. Topically, the clobeTasol and clotrimazole ointments have been the most helpful overall. I have been a long-time proponent of Eurcerin lotion. For REALLY dry patches or areas that are chronically dry I use Aquaphor. Tar and salicylic acid shampoos help when my scalp flares up (T-gel or T-sal) and you can get these from any drugstore. Best of luck as you navigate this ailment, feel free to reach out with any other questions.

I also have plaques and inverse psoriasis around my genitals. It’s definitely the spot that is the most frustrating. I was on otezla for awhile and it helped all locations but down there. Trying tremfya now and hoping it can help. I use aquaphor or vasaline on the parts that tend to “crack” open down there. I use the same clobetasol cream as the above commenter - and it does help.

I'm currently on my 4 week injection of Tremfya, so fat so good. My next one will be 8 wks later. I also suffer from adhesive reactions, I also use aquaphor on the cracks, my dermatologist says to put a thick barrier ointment on top of my Wynzora and then cotton gloves.
