Back in mid January I had a fairly bad psoriasis flare up compared to my other flare ups. I developed scalp psoriasis for the second time(except way worse), a new patch on my face, and the ones on my eyebrows & around my nose became worse. Along with a few random spots on my body. Which I haven’t experienced since I was in elementary school.

I’m 23 years old now and my flare ups are usually very calm and would go away eventually. When I was younger I had to cut out gluten so I decided to take that route again and WOW! It’s only been a few weeks but my psoriasis is slowly clearing up. It’s crazy how psoriasis is so different for everyone. For me having a gluten free diet and working out has been doing wonders. Along with using Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E & Aquaphor for moisturizer. I’ve also been taking Fish Oil & Vitamin D daily. All of these which I’ve done when I was first diagnosed with Psoriasis as a child.

Over the years I fell off and assumed it “went away”. Now that’s I’m back I’m on track I’m hoping this well help maintain my psoriasis. I’m very happy with my results because it’s been a long journey. My scalp psoriasis is still pretty bad but I understand that will take more work and take a longer time to reduce. Hoping the T/Sal shampoo will help with that as well. I wish I had taken my psoriasis seriously before but I’m glad to be where I’m at now with it.

I hope that everyone can find what their triggers are and learns what works for them. Best of luck to everyone who struggles with P

Over the last 3 months my entire body has been overtaken with psoriasis and it hurts so much, it burns

I'm sorry if I did this wrong? The moderator did something here

Hi! It was so nice to finally put a name as to why I have been feeling so tired. I always thought I had eczema on my skin and scalp, but apparently, it's actually psoriasis. I've also had issues of having iron defiencies quite often. I was wondering what you guys do to relieve the pain and the fatigue.Are there certain vitamins or lifestyle changes. The dermatologist just gave me some topical medication, and I'm waiting on seeing an eye specialist to start another medication.

I'm confused about "flare ups" I've had psoriasis for almost 15 years at times it has completely covered my face, scalp etc and was classed as severe now I just have minimal patches on places on my body but still all over the scalp, does this mean I'm in a flare up or just have psoriasis?

I’ve had psoriasis for about a year. It’s just on my scalp, but I’m scared it’s going to spread to the rest of my body. Not being able to wear certain clothes, and having patches all over my body will affect myself esteem so harshly. Can someone please tell me if there’s a chance that my psoriasis will spread after a year? Or has that ship sailed ? Thank you

So I came across this image and I was wondering. Since I don't treat my mild psoriasis ever since. Would my mild psoriasis lead to more and much worser autoimmune diseases. While my psoriasis remains the same would I develop worser kinds? Would that happen, is it even possible? It's been more than a decade and other people are doing well without treatment. I have psoriasis vulgaris.

I have Psoriasis all over my body. It covers 40 - 50% of my body.

My doctor is able to get me 2 shots of Tremfya. It's what my budget can afford. First shot will be for week 0/1 then after 1 month I will get another shot which is my last shot. She said I can undergo Phototherapy while under the Tremfya treatment.

I will also try to lose weight and be on a diet during the process.

Do you think it will help me?

So, I can’t find any info on this medicine here in my country and I wanted to ask my doctor about it, but I want to have some general info about it including the price for each shot, can anybody tell me that please?

Just curious to see if any one have been breast feeding while on biologics. What are your experiences?

I got prescribed this. I got cold feet and decided not to take it. I had an appointment with my dermatologist and decided to try it. My lips are very dry, I knew that. I don't like that there is "Propylene Glycol in it. I have taken it for 5 days so far. I don't want to put that in my body; but I don't know what to do.

Has anyone here found a holistic approach like a cream that actually works and keeps the itchiness and redness at bay.

I've started to have a guttate flare on my body and now my eye lids seem to be developing psoriasis which never occurred before. Using Adex Gel at the moment so trying to avoid steroids. But any recommendations for face creams, eye creams or serums? My eyes are so itchy 😫 😩 I am working with a naturopath for my diet and any deficiencies, so far folic acid seems to be my main deficiency but possible thyriod issues too.

I developed some itch on my scalp from January 2024, but it was hidden under hair and I never saw it. Today for the first time I buzzed a part of my hair and saw it. I'm attaching the image: https://ibb.co/JFMDVX9F

I initially thought it was tinea capitis, but now I've realized it's scalp psoriasis.. been trying tea tree oil so far and nizoral..

I recently got a Tinea Cruris infection in July 2024, which was resolved in September 2024.

I've also had tinea versicolour for a long period in 2011.

I got diagnosed with pp last year and my whole body was covered and it took me three months to get clear and now I got a flare up again a month back abd it’s progressively getting worse.im under a dermatologists consultation abd I take cyclosporine currently.biologics are expensive in my country.can anyone please tell me how to keep pp under control or to avoid flare ups?any lifestyle changes ot anything might help.

I know I'm pretty late in the treatment game, but I've had too many other medical issues to worry about, thus I had bigger fish to fry.

Anyway, I just took my first dose of Methotrexate (2.5 mg) a few days ago. I'm pretty thrilled to actually try a systemic medication instead of a topical, which are worthless to me. But I'm not sure how I feel.

I took it as directed - 6 pills once a week. I haven't had any side effects that I can tell. But I'm kind of underwhelmed so far. It has improved visually, at least behind my ears. But I'm still itchy, still flaking and peeling, still can't help but scratch a lot, even behind my ears. It kinda feels like it started the job but didn't finish it.

For those of you that took Methotrexate, did it work for you? If it worked for you, how long did it take to see significant improvement - I.E. minimal to no itching, scratching, flaking, etc.? I know nothing will cure psoriasis or even give me 100% clearance. But I was expecting more. Do I just need to be patient?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just discovered this Reddit thread, so I had a question about if any of yall had some serious side affects with Otezla. I was prescribed it as an alternative to my shampoo and steroid topicals for my scalp psoriasis, so I thought I’d give it a shot since the shampoo and topical smelled funny. They told me I’d experience nausea and whatnot, but it would only last for a couple of weeks. Well, it lasted for a couple of months and I lost 20 pounds since I could barely eat. Then my dad told me to stop taking it and switch back to the topicals. Was it just me? Or did anyone have a good experience with Otezla?
