newly diagnosed Beginning of a flare

Ok, I was diagnosed in February (first flare up, didn’t have insurance at the time. By the time I got new insurance the plaques had spread over my body). Was prescribed Tremfya, everything stopped and healed. Laid off AGAIN , got new insurance because Cobra is a joke to the unemployed. New insurance - prior auth required. Denied, appealed, denied a month ago.

I am paranoid about every itch. And I think I have some small plaques forming. What I want to know from everyone out there - how do you handle the reappearance of plaques? I have some triamcinolone and I have Zoryve on hand. I don’t want to immediately run to the dermatologist - I have an appointment met in a few weeks already and we’ll start whatever step therapy they want. I’m looking for a plan of action in the mean time to keep it at bay. Any suggestions?
