I have been told by a friend that he knows someone who has severe psoraisis on his hands, he plays a saxaphone in a band for a profession and therefore .. when his psoraisis becomes dry and flaky, it hurts him to play his instrument. He went to the doctors and said they gave him an injection which was steriod based and it cleared it right up, i think he said he has to go back for repeat treatment every 6 months. if this is true then why am i being lied to by my GP as im 28, female and have psoraisis also, ok ... its not quite severe, but it IS patchy, and all over me!!, face, head, legs, body, back, arms and it looks like a contageous rash (to others who know nothing of psoraisis) when its at its bad, also its really annoyingly itchy, spreading an ointment...(oil based) cream over every sinle spot .. all over my body twice a diy is also a nightmare, oil does NOT spread like cream but i had been told by the GP to ONLY put it on the affected areas, its been 7 years with this skin condition now, and i have had enough of it!... im always itching, its embarrasing!!, the only place my spots have become blotches are my legs and scalp, the rest is small red spots. im soo sick of rubbing cream in that i have now stopped and take an antihistimine daily to ease the itch as i also have a dust allergy .... (which is the flaky skin attached to me.. worse with psoraisis ey!) what is this miracle cure injection that i could be having and where can i get it?! my friend says my GP lied because the injection costs the NHS a bomb so they dont like to just hand it to someone without it looking severe... what about the people like me?. it affects my mental health big time! please help!

The injection is usually for psoriatic arthritis. Which makes sense if he says he can't play his saxophone when it's bad.
