So I got more experienced dermatologist today...

Wednesday is my usual day for light box treatment. It's UVB and with weekly visits over a period of several months my psoriasis mostly cleared and stayed clear.

My scalp, no such luck. It scabbed and oozed and blistered and 60 percent of my hair is gone. Two types of shampoo, two courses of antibiotics - no help. I wear scarves when I go out because the sight of my scalp makes women faint, grown men cry and dogs to howl.

Yes it hurts and itches like hell. Three biopsies showed nothing scary.

So they passed me to a more experienced partner. She walked into the examination room and asked what I was here for.

I took off my scarf. Her eyes widened in horror.

After a quick overview of my treatment she excused herself for several minutes. Several long minutes. She came back with another nurse and gave me a good looking over. She took two more biopsies - not of my scalp - but other odd areas - put me on a different antibiotic and a steroid. She expressed so much concern about my condition she even gave me a little hug as she left.

I'd post pictures of my scalp but I'm afraid they're too gruesome.

I'm hoping to finally get some traction on this.
