    Have u tried UV light treatments?
    They 100% work for my DH- and he has psoriasis all over his body.
    It clears it right up if he goes 3 x per week.
    Big commitment.

    The other thing he uses to keep it manageable is Elocon (sp?) cream.
    It's a teeny tiny tube- so he can't cover all his psoriasis, but works on his face.

    ETA- try the Elocon if you only have a bit of psoriasis.
    The light treatment is harsh on the rest of your body.
    DH is almost covered in it

    Thanks Emma, your poor DH I only have a bit on my elbows and some random spots around the body. My mum had the UV lights and they did clear hers up, she had more than me. I might google that cream you mentioned too...
    My mums has all disappeared now. She is 56 and said it went after menopause. how strange.
