I have psoriasis, it is an auto-immune disease, which means that when I am tired and stressed out, my psoriasis flares up. I have it all over my scalp, chest, back, arms, and legs. It burns and itches really bad when I am flared up. Right now I am flared up because I am sick, but I took these pictures a while ago when I wasn't so bad! When I am flared up I have huge red spots, that flake and itch and burn. I don't know why I am blogging about this, but someday it will be gone and I probably won't remember what it felt like or looked like, so I am publishing it for the record! I found out that I had psoriasis almost 3 years ago. When I got pregnant with Joya I got really bad dandruff...or I thought it was dandruff, it really was psoriasis. Anyway after I had Joya it got really bad, when I wasn't sleeping when she was a new born. Anyway I went to a dermatologist in Arizona, found out what I had and that there is nothing I can do for it until I am done having babies. All of the medications that would help the psoriasis go away cause birth defects. So for now I have steroid creams that help with the itching!! And that's all I can do!

you need to buy a book by dr. pagano who has cured psoriasis through diet. a dermatologist will tell you that there is no cure and that you will have to slather ointments that cost a fortune on your psoriasis for the rest of your life - not true apparently. there is a connection between something called "leaky gut syndrome", food allergies and psoriasis which you will come to learn about in the book - the title of which i can't remember at the moment. just google dr. pagano psoriasis and i'm sure you'll find it. good luck.
Hi, there! How are you now? Do you still experience psoriasis attacks? I hope those occasions have already lessened. Anyway, aside from applying topical medications, I think it’ll also help if you’ll apply a moisturizer on your skin. Ask your dermatologist if he/she can recommend one that is safe for your skin type. I’ve also read that it helps to eat healthy, like consuming low-energy food, or becoming a vegetarian altogether! I am no expert, but I think it’ll also help if you relax to avoid stress that can trigger psoriasis. Hope you’re doing well today!
