Psarisis cover up's?

3 messages · last activity 4/22/2006

I was wondering if anyone has ever done cover up over psarisis? On large parts of the body. I have ink done on my arms in the bend of my arm and it seems to be fine. I just don't know if it will be able to take it in on the chest? Has anyone done this ?
I have had good luck tattooing on psoriasis affected skin...its important that you prepare the skin a week before the tattoo by applying a good hydrocortisone ointment or a product called Scalpicin which is simply liquid hydrocortsone in a medically inert liquid agent...walmart and kmart both carry these products. After the tattoo proceedure discontinue the hydrocortisone til tha work has healed
Im glad you asked bout this cause I suffer from this too! I asked my dermatologist about this and he advised me to wait till it cleared up a bit first as the psoriasis can get into the tattoo(?) and end up making ur new beautifal tattoo all scally!!! He said that hed saw people that this has happened too! but ul know your own body better!! And its obv worked on ur arm! xxx
