    Thank you for verifying all of the symptoms I have experienced for years. I have been "blown off" by many physicians who simply did not understand the disease. I now have associated insulin resistance. Thank you for educating about this disease.

  • Psoriasis is not usually a progressive disease. Psoriasis varies from person to person, both in severity and how it responds to treatment. But by pursuing regular treatment and limiting your exposure to known psoriasis triggers, you can limit your risks of experiencing a psoriasis flare.

    I have had psorasis for nearly 6 yrs when i first had it it was really bad my feet and elbows and scalp were raw but then i went on that special UV light treatment which worked for about 4 months until it came back again but far less aggressive i continuously rub cream in my skin which dont really work at all,in the summer my skin calms down heck of a lot but in winter goes bad on my face,the army and stress caused my psoriasis,this is what i got from joining the army bad skin and depression:(

    @PsoriasisFoundation Since using chemical cleaners for a job in '89 with no gloves, some of my fingernails began to grow deformed (2 on left, 3 on right) This continued long after I quit. By 2000, the skin on my left thumb started to get dry, scaly and eventually covered part of my left/right hands (bottom of some fingers/palms). Despite ongoing Puva treatments since '07, the condition is still spreading and has recently (2012) affected the tops of some fingers. Any advice. Very concerned.

    @PsoriasisFoundation I have been prescribed many cremes over the years with limited success. Ultravate worked for a while, but then regressed. Starting in Apr '05 I began receiving corticosteroid injections every 6 weeks and my condition virtually disappeared, but I stopped after 1 year due to some serious side effects attributed with this treatment. I have been on Puva for years, on and off. Is it possible for this to spread past my hands? My dermatologist says no, and I'm not reassured.
  • While psoriasis on the hands can prove difficult to treat, there are additional options you can consider with your health care provider. If topical medications do not work, your doctor may recommend methotrexate, cyclosporine or Soriatane. These are systemic treatments which work throughout the body. You can read more about these treatments on our website. Best of luck and please feel free to contact the Foundation if we can provide additional information.

    @blushscent18 /watch?v=Cq1t9WqOD-0 58m:52s "Vitamin D and Prevention of Chronic Diseases" - Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D. Director Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory Boston University School of Medicine Skin doctors don't know evolution of land based animals. Too much is bad, but the right amount is good.

    @blushscent18 Example cover-up: Pub Med PMID: 1677134 (Seal D, Ficker L, Wright P, Andrews V., Lancet 1991;338 315) which indicated Thimerosal is a weak antibacterial agent that is rapidly broken down to products, including ethyl-mercury residues, which are neurotoxic. Its role as a preservative in vaccines has been questioned, and the pharmaceutical industry considers its use as historical. Curious why Pub Med does not provide any of this verbiage in its abstracts plus for searching?

    Pffft! Incurable my butt :)  Just cause conventional medicine doesn't know how to treat it doesn't mean that it's incurable.
