I HAVE CRONIC PSORIASIS AND EXZEMA. MY DR PUT ME ON ENBREL INJECTIONS 2X A WEEK FOR 3 YEARS. THE LAST 6 MO TO A YEAR THE MOST MINOR CUT WOULD TURN INTO MRSA. HE THEN PUT ME ON KENALOG SHOT ...1 SHOT EVERY 2 MO. ...THIS WENT ON FOR 2 YEARS. MY SKIN BECAME PARCHMENT THIN AND WOULD TEAR SOMETIMES TO THE BONE. I WAS FALLING A LOT DUE TO UNDIAGNOSED BLACK OUT SEISURES. THE SEISURES WENT ON FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS. I AM NOW ON ANTI-SESURE MEDICINE. MY LAST FALL LANDED ME IN THE HOPITAL FOR A WEEK. THE TEAR WAS REALLY BAD.........MRSA AGAIN. THEY PUT ME ON VANCAMIACIN INFUSIONS 24/7 FOR A WEEK THEN SENT ME HOME WITH A 2 WK PRESCRIPTION ($3000.00) OF ANTIBIOTICS AND 2 MONTHS OF WOUND CARE TREATMENT AND HOME HEALTH CARE DAILY. MY DR.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
