There are a lot of good prescription creams to. Then there are the months I wear gloves from palmoplanter ...Then there are the P.'s that are just very stubborn. But generally I am grateful I can manage to keep it in remission.
P. On my hands and feet have been in remission for 3 years. The cracking can be very painful on hands as well as feet. So I do a lot of occlusion right away not to let it get out of control and the layers of skin build up then it takes sooo long to contain It or put in remission. Creams for P. With salicylic acid help the P scales recede. Stay away from anything other than glycerin soap. No additives Laural sulfates.etc.
So whatever treatment u choose I hope u see remission soon.
When my son was on life support last year he survived, that's when my psoriatic arthritis started. So I can understand stress levels can be a huge cause of P flares. I'm on DMARDS for it now seems to really help. Have two hip joint replacements the DMARDS help with joint pain too! So as long as I have mobility I am thankful and grateful for the many treatments available.
Before u see a derm go to the many web sites online, as well as this forum. Whatever your choice I hope UR P goes into remission. All the medical web sites talk about occlusion how to do it how often and what to use,as well asother treatment options.
Good Luck!
As long as there is breath there is life. Life is a gift!
