Seek And Suppress Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Psoriasis I had and found out
Nine years ago since our trip to Nepal
In January 1998.
Skin specialist assured me
I will get cured.
But literature and the Net disagree.

My flakes do disappear
With my doctor’s medicine.
Not steroids, I check particularly.
Over years he has changed thrice.
But now for 5 or 6 years
I use propysalic ointment.

The slightest drying up of surface
I detect by sight or feel
I apply medicine, by rubbing
Two or three days
And control eruption completely.
