My first outbreak of pustules on the palms of my hands was when I was producing a film for my first time ever and was near a nervous breakdown due to stress. I went to the hospital and they didn't have a clue what the condition was. Finally the pustules ceased on my palms but broke out on the bottoms of my feet. Since then a severe psoriasis has spread up my legs and affected my finger joints. I have horrible itching on the soles of my feet, my palms, and my legs. So far nothing the dermatologist has prescribed has worked. The condition seems to keep spreading. At least I now know what the condition is which even the dermatologist failed to diagnose properly.

I had very severe pustular psoriasis for two years. A Mayo Clinic biopsy diagnosed it. I took chemo drugs by mouth instead of injections. After two years of that it finally went into remission. I had one flareup that did not last long as it was treated immediately. Methotrexate was my salvation. It started as a scaley skin problem. What happens is we grow too many skin cells. That's why they scale. However I have been in remission for years now and am very happy. I was wearing white gloves all the time when it was active.

I was diagnosed with pustular psoriasis five months ago. It started with a small pustule on my palm. Kind of almost looked like a small whitehead. It got extremely worse and spread all over my palms, fingertips, heels and toes. The psoriasis spread to my fingernails where the nail has separated from the nail bed. Luckily, only one nail has fallen off, but I have four others that aren't looking too good. I have been prescribed several topical creams and have self medicated by going to the tanning bed (UVB therapy). I was also told I will probably develop psoriatic arthritis. The next option is to start the Humira injections. I am hoping to get some relief from this medicine.

I had these blisters appear on the palm of my hands about 6 months ago. As I had a regular appointment with my doctor, I ask about them, was told it was pustular psoriasis and she prescribed a cream called Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%. I'm not sure it is doing anything. My feet have now broken out, soles of the feet & heels. My knees and elbows are showing signs now. It is very painful to walk and my hands itch all the time. I am looking at these sites hoping to learn more.

I have had pustular psoriasis for about 3 years now. I am taking Enbrel and Prednisone for it, and had it under control (but no exceptional clearing). Recently I started using Burts Bee's products, washing the area in Witch Hazel, and using Miracle of Aloe Psoriasis Cream. The psoriasis has not gone away, but it has gotten a lot better.

I have just been told I have pustular psoriasis and this has been very helpful for me in understanding what is going on with my hands.

I was diagnosed with pustular psoriasis six years ago. I have it on my hands, feet, head and sometimes my legs. Nothing has helped me so far from the doctor. I have been using a new cream called Aveeno Eczema therapy. It has really helped the itching and dry skin. I am also taking sea salt, oatmeal, Epsom salt baths every other night and it has kept the blisters away so far. I have only been doing this a week. I have developed numbness on the left side of my face, both inside and out and on my chin. The doctor thinks I may have MS. I am wondering if the pustular psoriasis has caused this, if I do have MS. I am so scared.

I have chronic pustular psoriasis on palms and soles of feet. I have now been diagnosed with lichen sclerosis which is quite similar but located on different part of body. Most of treatments have too adverse side effects for me to want to attempt.
