Psoriasis Support Group

I've had severe scalp psoriasis for the past year. I've been to my GP and 2 specialists and wasted thousands of rands on shampoos and ointments that did not work.
I visited a specialist two weeks ago who put me on methotrexate. I felt very ill on the tablets and decided not to take them again.
I went to another specialist recommended by a friend. She put me on Dithranol, which I have only been using for the past three days. I went to hospital for three mornings where a nurse applied it and explained to my "wash buddy" how to use it on my scalp.
I am proud to say that the psoriasis is almost invisible. I had no pain during the last three days, just slight itching. I felt my scalp for the first time in a year!
I now use Salic acid in the evenings and the Dithranol and Advantan Milk in the mornings.
I just wanted to let you know there is hope. I've found the product that works for me.
