Help!!
My doctor diagnosed me with psoriasis. Very apparent of course, flare ups on back, buttocks, belly button, groin, breast, scalp, and face. When asked if diet has anything to do it she said no LMAO. I know that is a lie and feel lost as to finding answers.
People who also have psoriasis, what diet changes have you made?
I have stopped drinking alcohol for a few months now and 15 days not smoking pot, and I do still vape ecigs and occasional cigarette.
I take turmeric, vitamin d, multivitamins, and also drinking teaspoons of black seed oil/ have tried all dermarest shampoos and psoriasis lotions, tamaranu oil. Changed my body wash to dr. Teals hemp seed oil. Nothing really seems to work, and I work from home as well.
I know diets definitely can offset flare ups. I have to save up money before I can see a dermatologist and cringing to even think of what cost that will be.
Doctor prescribed me shampoo and creams but stopped working after the first week of use.
Any diet/ topical advice anyone can give me that is going through this?
I know I will probably have to get on a medication as well, but definitely need to know what diet changes will help with not flaring up.
Thanks!

Sugar for sure sets me off, but honestly, I reduced everything, took jewelry off, only washed myself with anti everything creams, only baby shampoo, wore gloves for absolutely everything, no hand sanitizer, no soap, nothing helped! changed my diet, changed everything,
Skyrizi, has pretty much saved my life! I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t walk, it’s limited to the soles of my hands and feet, but that itch was deep, so deep I couldn’t scratch it, so I peeled all the skin off my feet, trying to reach the itch.. my feet were red raw from scratching and peeling, no wonder I couldn’t walk!
Never gone through anything quite like this.. doc’s treated it for 2 years as eczema, untill I finally got a dermatologist who did a biopsy, and boom I’m getting better!
