A few years ago I had these brownish pinkish spots on me, like around my ribs, sides of my breasts,and my back. It itched so bad, so I went to the doctor and he told me it was psoriasis and there was no cure for it. Well it ended up going away. Well now its back, I guess thats what it is anyway, but now it's on my legs and they are like red spots on my legs. THEY ITCH LIKE CRAZY!!!!!! It's so annoying because it wont stop. And my boyfriend thinks it grose because I am always itching and it looks like I have a rash on my legs. He says I have some kind of disease. It it so embarrasing. I have been using this stuff called MG217 its for psoriasis. But it doesn't really work. It helps some times but the itching never goes away. Does anyone know of anything that even helps a little bit?????? I cann't take it anymore. I scratch so much I get scabs on my legs. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Get a second opinion from a dermatologist. It may not be psoriasis afterall. Also try www.webmd.com

I would be seeing a new dermatologist. My GP suggested that i could take antihistamines tablets for the itch. I haven't tried it yet but I thought it might be a good idea just at night so at least i can get a good nights sleep. there may not be a cure ( yet)but there are a lot of medications that you can try until you get the one that works for you be determined about getting your skin under control. Find a good Dermatologist. Best of luck

It might be something other than psoriasis--get a second opinion.

I know what it's like to have psoriasis-- I've had 28 years of suffering. However, recently, I found something that has really helped to reduce the redness, the scaling and the itching.

I have the feeling that what I did will help anyone with psoriasis. Feel free to check out my blog for the complete story:

and then e-mail me if you are interested. What I'm doing is not just for psoriasis, it's like doing a whole body cleanse of every cell.

Yes, I do. Super Skin Defense Psoriasis/Eczema Salve. It will stop the itching within minutes and begin to heal the effected area.

Definetly go to a dermatologist. He or she will give you creams that will relieve the itch. There are ways to keep it under control. If they tell you to apply three times a day take the time to do it. I have had psoriasis since I was 13 which makes 43 years and I have learned the only way to keep your skin soft and itch free is to stay on top of it. Good luck!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
