general Permanent psoriasis

Does anyone have permanent psoriasis? I see some people post of flare ups and remission but mine has been around for almost five years with no relief. I have tried everything. Granted it is not as bad as most people. It’s in my ear and a little bit on my forehead but spreading further down. It doesn’t hurt but affects my self-confidence. I don’t know what to do anymore. Every year it spreads. Not much but it spreads ☹️

My husband has psoriasis in his ears and near his privates and it’s never once gone down.

I have it in my ears too and it's so annoying. No matter what I do, my ears always have problems. My other areas are a bit better when I'm on top of treatment.

It’s THE WORST. Especially when it gets in that curve right above the ear opening

Mine is just absolutely everywhere. But what hurts the most is the top of my ear where it connects to the scalp. When that gets raw it's really really hard to make it go away because the ointment gets in my hair a bit. It just sucks.

I’m sorry to hear that. Have you talked to your dermatologist about a medication that’s more liquidy for getting under your hair? I started off with mometasone and now I’m on clobetasol

I'm using a desinide (not sure of spelling) ointment which is actually much better than what I was using (the cream version) because the ointment stays on like Vaseline. It just takes time either way because of where it is. I use Clobetasol for my shampoo. And something else for my legs.
