I had psorisis pretty bad on my hands, fingers, and legs when I was a teen - 16-24. I used topical steriods to control the psorisis, but found a doctor who compounded a tar-based ointment that pretty much got it under control when I was 24 At one point, I did have to take micro injections of steriods into the inflammation, into what the doctor called "hot nodules". At one point, this didn't work and I had to take a 2 week pack of steriods. Over the years, small spots of inflammation would come and go. Post op, I've had the largest outbreak in years, but interestingly resolved itself practically overnight. Do I think taking steriods in this form was a part of me developing pituitary disease? Not in my case. Evidently I had pituitary disease a long time and just didn't know it. ![]() |
