Hi Morgan78. Not sure if this is helpful, but a really close family friend used a herb called "Buchu" to treat his psoriasis. It is widely grown, harvested and used in South Africa (where I am from) and it was incredibly effective in treating his condition (had it all over his head and face and it all but disappeared!). By all means persue the medical intervention that you are seeking, but in the meanwhile it may be something you want to consider as a supplement? I imagine the herb would be available in Australia in either tea or tablet form. Perhaps it may be worth a visit to a naturopath to explore these options while you wait for you appointment? Big and I hope you find the right treatment that works for you x
