Hello beeutterfly: I'm sorry you are having to struggle with this. I do not have the condition you describe. Both as a child, & as a young & middle-aged adult, I had the more common type of psoriasis... mostly on my knees & elbows. Later on I had some problems with it on my hands. But as I have grown older it has all pretty-much disappeared. Instead, what I have now is a skin condition called rosacea on my face & chest. If it isn't one thing, it's another... I wish you well...
