hi hamoodys_gurl

first of all welcome to skincell, i to suffer with psoriasis and have it in my ears the best thing ive found to do is use cotton buds with a bit of moisturiser or cortizone (steroid) cream on the end first clear your flakes out "gently" the apply a bit of cream to the end of the bud and spread it around inside your ear ,i hope your eardrums ok try not to go so deep in future if you can hope all goes well for you at the doctors

Welcome, hamoodys_gurl!

I don't have P at all, but a LOT of members do, and from what I've heard, ears are the *worst.* Just because I don't have it doesn't mean you're not alone. In fact, here's a thread that started not too long ago that might help: http://www.skincell.org/yabbse/index.php/topic,14692.0.html

I bet some of our many P members will be along soon to welcome you! In the meantime, welcome from me!

Have you tried the non-steroidal cream call elidel?  It fixed up the P on and around my ears and neck.  I now apply it two times a week to my face, ears and neck as a preventative.  Look it up on the internet.
