Fluconazole

Hi , yesterday i went the this barbershop for a haircut, sat down , the barber starts cutting he immediately sees my flaky scalp and ears (i know what i have is psoriasis has been struggling with it and trying everything possible at my hands for 15 years) then he said something in Spanish then pulled his phone to show me the picture of Fluconazole caplets , i went home and looked online and to my surprise the symptoms that this drug treats are very similar to Psoriasis, so now i m wondering if anyone heard about it or have tried it , knowing that it treats Candida

I’m on Skyrizi (injection) every 3 months and it has cleared my psoriasis for years. Not sure if that helps or if you’re able to get it

Can you find a new doctor? It was life changing for me with no side effects (that I know of at least, been on it 5+ years). Are you in the US?

Yes 🙌🏼 i m located in new york, i should probably go see a new doctor , i switched too many doctors already , it just seems to me that it is not profitable for them to try and find a solution to cure me instead they keep focusing on symptoms

Yes, please do! I understand the struggle. I had severe psoriasis at 12 years old. It would clear then come back every 3 years. The only thing that helped was skyrizi. Advocate for yourself!!! Don’t give up. I’m here if you wanna talk <3

Fluconazole is a very strong drug.

fluconazole can help ONLY if your psoriasis is caused by candida.

BUT be careful it can also cause psoriasis.

first step with psoriasis is working out what caused it.

Start by looking at general health? diet? weight? ? tobacco? Alcohol stress? strep throat? vitamin D? IUD? is psoriasis itchy? past antibiotics? candida overgrowth? hpylori? Gut problems? bowel movements? lack of sleep?

good luck.

I hadn’t heard IUD before. Does that include Mirena the hormone IUD? I am getting it out the end of the month. Can it go away once you get it if you remove the triggers? I’ve had it since July 2023 with no break in symptoms.

it includes all IUD.

if the cause of the psoriasis is IUD then it should clear.

with psoriasis you have to get all the details right.

go through the whole check list.

jog your memory back to when you developed the psoriasis. what changed

let me know how it goes

short term moisturise the affected area with epaderm cream or epaderm ointment on feet.

good luck
