The evolution of my psoriasis

Greetings friends,

in the article below i will try to describe and to illustrate with pictures the areas on my body there are affected by psoriasis.

So first of all, the psoriasis appeared on my scalp. In the back of my head, but during the year it healed, so i don’t have a depiction of it.

I have a psoriasis spot at the limit between the forehead and the hair:

Also on the left side of the head. It can be seen under the hair:

And arount the ears:

My psoriasis affects also the classical area – the elbows 😀

It is curious that on the elbow from my right hand, the spots are rare and smaller than on the left hand.

Anyway, i have psoriasis also on my legs. On the ankles:

In these areas the psoriasis redness is not so intense.

I have a psoriasis spot below my left knee:

And my biggest psoriasis spot is on my right leg:

My first corticosteroid cream: DERMOVATE

My first corticosteroid cream: DERMOVATE

Back in the days, 7,8 years ago when my psoriasis was located only on the scalp on the back of my head, my dermatologist prescribed me an ointment called Dermovate.

This is considered to be among the strongest ointments used in treating psoriasis vulgaris.

This is the romanian version of the products that contain clobetasol propionate.

The ointment is based on it, and there are many products across the world that contain this substance and can be found under many names, like: Clobex, Clob-x (Colombia), Clovate, Cormax, Pentasol (Colombia), Cosvate (India), Temovate (US), Olux, Tenovate, Dermatovate, Butavate, Movate, Novate, and Powercort.

Read more on wikipedia about clobetasol propionate.

The cream is very effective but it has a big issue: it is meant for an use of maximum two weeks!

Using it more can cause side effects.

It was my case also. I didn’t consider the advice of my dermatologist and my psoriasis appeared also on elbows and later on knees and on the back.

In next posts i will post photos with my psoriasis areas.
