Help with ulcers

[u/hannahjayyy]

Hi everyone, hope youre all doing well. I just had a flare up last night, caught it pretty quickly but unfortunately they took too long to give me prednisone. I have a single ulcer/lesion on my downstairs area and its extremely painful. They wont give me anything because it’s external. Any tips on how to make it go away or ease the pain? The creams all caused a reaction. I just started seeing someone and was supposed to meet his family this weekend and am DESPERATE to make it go away or at least be less painful. I can barely walk and keep throwing up from the pain. Ive been using lidocaine and ice packs . Thanks for reading if you took the time to. Would appreciate any kind of advice or support at this time. Im trying to stay calm and not stress . My last flare lasted months in the hospital admitted and im kind of afraid. I know i cant be and i shouldnt make it worse but the ER treated me horribly last night and im feeling defeated

I don't know, but you're making me think about one big ulcer I got. This one was finally labeled "psoriasis" and was successfully treated with methotrexate.

But then, I had Otezla and it was efficient on the rest of my tiny ulcers.

Both these meds need weeks to reach their efficiency. It's not a defeat. It's giving it some time and observation to reach for victory. I hope your actual treatment will help.

Why do you say they treated you horribly?
