Poor thing, you have Psoriasis - dry itchy skin that flakes occasionally. Its rough and I cant believe your husband gets mad! Its not like you asked for it to happen. Soriatain is the only treatment that works so far. I have a friend who moved to the desert in Arizona where the dry temperatures helped lessen her outbreaks and itching. Moisture is the enemy of Psoiriasis, so if you live in a cool climate or where there is lots of water, you will suffer. I can also recommend Eucerin Calming Creams for your skin as well for some relief if you run out of soriatain. Its available at any pharmacy in the lotion aisle.
