Psoriasis, Red Blotches, Scaly Patches Over Arms And Legs. Avoiding Sugar. Tried Photo Light Therapy. What Is The Best Treatment?
Our seven-year-old granddaughter's psoriasis is becoming worse by the day...3/4 of her face is covered in red blotches and large scaly patches are all over her arms and legs...there are spots in her ears and very near her eyes...it's as if she's being attacked by a virus and it's manifesting through her skin...her parents have tried photo light therapy, dermatologists, family doctor, holistic nutritionists..They are eliminating sugar, gluten and dairy...but it seems every day it's getting worse...can you advise a specialist in the Anderson, SC area that might help us? Thank you...Mary AnnAllen YYYY@YYYY

hi. My symapthies. Seems she has widespread involvement.
Use a moisturizer like Amylac lotion(Ammonium lactate 12%) twice daily whole body. Apply a Mid Potent Steroid cream like mometasone over the patches after applying moisturizer. Use a antihistamine for relieving itching like cetrizine syrup.
