Been taking meds for psoriatic arthritis since Jan and seems to be working but not much effect on psoriasis around eyes and ears, the only places I have it. Now dermatologist wants to do biopsy to see if they misdiagnosed. Any thoughts?

My brother told me to rub coconut oil on my ears when they itch and fantastically it works for ages. The shampoo I use for the scalp treats that fine. I would not want to put the coconut oil on my scalp.

From My psoriasis is very bad in scalp and behind ea... by Amandeep

Sarah
Sarah @sarahuk

Welcome to Flaym, Amandeep. Scalp and ears are terrible areas for lots of us here at Flaym. I am one of them! Those two areas are my worst. Scalp is the most uncomfortable and persistent for me, but I did have problems with my ears from over 20 years too. Check out the themes section for posts for posts about scalp and ears, Amandeep, Antonia and Connie! For me steroid gel short term has really helped clear my ears whilst I got my diet sorted out, and for the scalp likewise with using oil soaks for relief and topical creams when flares were really bad and plaques were very thick. Hope this helps!

I started wearing glasses last week and find my skin is becoming irritated on one side behind my ear where they sit. Wondering if others who wear glasses experience the same and have some tips to share. Thanks!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ❄

My psoriasis has been really good on my scalp lately - maybe the cold weather has kept it at bay? but i fear it’s spreading to behind the ear. worried this is the start of it spreading to other places 😔
