Ooh nasty. I can sympathise somewhat, I've scalp psoriasis that I just cannot seem to shift. It is kind of embarrassing when I'm down the barbers

@Ross19: Yes the ointment ,which is very expensive but there are injectables for it now. Humira for one. It's a steroid and you have to be TB negative in order to take it but it works.

@Katielass: maybe its time for another trip to my doctors then.

@Ross19: yeah, do u see a dermatologist? If not you should they know all the latest treatments a reg doc might not keep up with. Of course there may be contraindications for steroid in your case, IDK, but it can't hurt to ask. all they can say is you're not a good candidate for this because-----You will need a blood test to show you are TB negative before they will start it though. Let me know what happens.

Feel for you and understand - have mine on elbows and shins but under control since seeing a specialist a couple of years ago. Best wishes!
