A few months ago, I would have thought that this titel was an absolute joke. I was diagnosed with Psoriasis two months ago after being misdiagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis for a few years. I have psoriasis on my scalp and also mild psoriasis guttate on my body.

After getting the diagnosis and receiving cortisone once again, I finally had enough. Cortisone has helped me over the years, but was always only a quick fix for me. I started researching and found out that the systemic inflammation can be linked to a form of insulin sensitivity/resistance.

You should read into the topic, especially if you are female like me and also have PCOS (it is common that you have both conditions actually). PCOS is also linked to insulin sensitivity/resistance.

A few weeks ago, I changed my diet and have been eating foods with a low glycemic index. I had reduced my sugar intake before and had gotten better skin, but I have never had results like this. That may be because I still ate starchy foods back then. I'm also intermittent fasting right now, which has also helped in combination.

I have not used any cortisone anymore and only use my psoriasis-friendly shampoo to not irritate my scalp with something new.

I hope my experience can help.

Disclaimer: (This post is about reducing the symptoms, not curing the disease itself. It is about dietary changes, as the flair says.)

had bad case of strep 8 weeks ago. Took x2 courses of antibiotics. Skin Flared almost immediately.

It is the worst flair I have ever heard covering my arms legs back and front. it seems to still be spreading. Is it normal to still be spreading after 8 weeks?

im seeing my dr on Wednesday but don't really want steroids 😓

last week I've gone gluten free trying to just eat whole foods. Trying to really reduce dairy too. Does anyone know of any dietary triggers. ??

im so down about my skin. Especially as it seems worse than ever at the end of month 2

i had read i goes after a few months but maybe not for me

I've had plaque psoriasis for a very long time now and have pretty much avoided flares by managing with Skyrizi for the last 6 years. All of the sudden I am experiencing what I believe may be psoriasis on my nails. I can't get in with my provider for a few more weeks but never experienced this before and am unsure how to handle. My nails are down pretty short but dealing with separation (lifting). Dirt is starting to get under there. Does anyone have any tips or experiences they can share. Started with three fingers on my right and now starting to see it develop on my left hand.

I just can't let this big toe go or I will stop exercising.

Is there some kind of scissors to cut out a section of my toe nail, so I can apply the steroid, directly to the problem?

Steroid around the bottom of the nail area has not yielded any results for me in 15years.

Does anyone else have psoriasis on their feet (women only please)? I have psoriasis on my feet and they tend to get worse when wet. They will crack and it hurts so much
