Yes, yes, yes. Feels like herpes, and in fact it was diagnosed as such by one doctor I went to but found out it wasn't, thank God. I was using Bactrim but doctor switched me to something else. I will find out because I am at work and can't remember what the name of it is. I am on Humira. It just stopped working recently.

Hey Cherie, I would love to know what they gave you. I'm using bacto-ban ointment but the sore does return every few months. Did you get sinus infections as well? The Dr.s are not much help on this, I've had about 8 appointments with 4 different doctors. When I get the sore I break out like crazy.

I will get it for you this evening. The sores still occur every once in a while but if I start this the first sign of a symptom it really works. I had an excellent doctor, I am in Fort Lauderdale, but my insurance does not cover him (dermatologist). Primary care physcians have no clue re: Psoriasis. I also went to a few different doctors without any success that's why I was really glad to hear so many other people were having this problem!! No, no sinus infections, depends what you're on I think. Since Humira isn't working don't know what I'am going to do. Will get back to you with ointment for your nose.....
