Will Psoriasis increase or spreads as you grow ?

I am 31 year and got this damn skin problem ‘psoriasis’ from my 7 years. In those days it appeared only on joints but now it spread all over my body. It was diagnised as Pustular Psoriasis and doctors prescribed Fluticasone oinment. Even i take that oinment, it spreads. Is it true that when you grow old, the psoriasis will also spreads ?

No psoriasis will not affect your pregnency but your treatment may?

Psoriasis does not necessarily spread as you get older but in some people it does get worse. Have you spoken to a dermatologist regarding your psoriasis?

The following regime may help:
1) bathe once or twice a day in a warm “oatmeal bath”. This will sooth the itch and a great alternative to soap which aggravates the affected areas. Try dermaveen (available from chemist/pharmacy)
2) Pat skin dry.
3)Apply fluticasone ointment to affected area.
4) Get a spare couple of tea towels and rinse in hot (not boiling) water and squeese dry. Put this over the affected area for a few minutes. The heat causes the blood vessels to dilate and absorbs more of the cream thereby increasing its effectiveness.
5) remove towel and GENTLY apply some unperfumed sorbalene cream to protect and reduce and dry flaking and itching.
6) Take an antihistamine (hay fever tablet) to reduce the itching (check with pharmacist to see what is appropriate if you are trying to concieve).
7) DON”T SCRATCH!!!

Do steps 3,4 and 5 as directed by the dermatologist (once or twice aday is usually enough). It usually works within a day or two and should be continued for a week. Then apply the ointment as normal ntil no longer needed. The oatmeal baths should be continued and soap and perfumes should be avoided.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it works with my patients. Some they have had psoriasis to 70% of there body and have immediate relief and full treatment within a fortnight!!!

I hope this helps and good luck!
