Thank you for your input. Actually my Pustular Psoriasis I suppose is in a sort of remission if you will. At the age of 14 for 2 yrs it was so bad on the soles of my feet I used to walk pretending to put my heels down so I wouldn't get bullied at school we all know how kids are. The reason was my feet were so raw they would split and bleed. I had all the treatments ,tar baths, light treatment that was so strong I had to stand naked in a room of sunlights with only goggle on for 1/4 of a minute the 1/2 a min,3/4 min, 1 min then back to the beginning.I had a fantastic tan. I had 4 injections at a time in the soles of my feet which was awful.Anyway that cleared as soon as I left school and didn't come back for 14 yrs and lasted a few more yrs where I then had Tetracycline for a yr which cleared it. Now at the age of 67 I only get the odd break out around my toes.So, that's only a small part but my GP doesn't seem to think it has anything to do with my pain for osteoarthritis DUH ! I have started taking Boron 3 times day but it's only 3mg per tab and wonder if I should now 2 weeks in should up the dose >Any thoughts.

I have been taking about the same amount of boron, 3mg. 3x day.
I increased a little yesterday, 6 mg.
I haven’t noticed any real improvement yet, but my dose is small. I will keep slowly increasing.

I feel for you describing your pain with your feet! My mother had a terrible time, they broke out all over her soles, ankles, and I remember she used a purple tincture sometimes. I don’t know what it was, she died when I was a girl. Arthritis runs in the family. Genetic? Skin problems also run in the family.
