[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1553144"] My father suffers from psoriasis and I remember him exhibiting many of the symptoms you describe after his father died. He didn't cover it with make-up - I could never imagine him wearing make-up. And, as his stress of his bereavement calmed down so did his psoriasis. But during that time, I remember the horrible smell of tar in the bathroom as he was prescribed a tar based soak to ease the flare-up. I do not remember if this worked and cannot imagine using this on your face. One thing I remember was his weekly trips to the hospital. He was told that sunlight helped reduce the symptoms and, apparently, if you have psoriasis you are immune from skin cancer (please check this and do not, whatsoever, take my word for it). His trip to the hospital was for an NHS-funded session under the sun-ray lamps - we called it his "NHS tan". This may be worthwhile checking out as many moisturisers and make-ups contain SPF which could block the healing affects of the sun. But please, please, please check the theory about skin cancer. I would hate you to ease your psoriasis and get skin cancer instead. [/QUOTE]
