Any suggestions for the plaque psoriasis and itching?

Any suggestions for the plaque psoriasis and itching?

  1. Hi Nodressforme, I just wanted to add to the great information from Richard, and share this article on itching with you: https://plaquepsoriasis.com/symptoms-affect-body/itching-burning-constant-stop/ - it offers some suggestions for dealing with this. Itching can feel so relentless sometimes, I truly hope you are able to find some relief.

    1. I had a nasty reaction to Ortezla, Was given the two week pack, broke out in huge red itchy areas with new spots everywhere....the Clobetazol and light treatment stopped working...but I found that simple Hydrocortizone ointment / prescription strength gave me some relief..and it was affordable...coming in a large container, enough to cover my entire body
      ...recommend it
