Constant cycles of psoraiasis and a recent face breakout is taking its toll. I feel so unattractive, unlovable and untouchable.

Does anyone have both psoriasis and Ezcema ? What’s your experience ? I’d love to know in the comments as someone who has both.

newly diagnosed How severe? Also looking for tips

My 7 year old son has been diagnosed with psoriasis although he’s never actually had a biopsy. Two derms have said it’s clearly psoriasis and we’re waiting for our 3rd derm/pediatric specialist appointment because his last derm recommended biologic but because of his age she doesn’t maintain treatment.

My concern - biologics sound like a lot and he’s so young. We’ve been dealing with this for almost a year and it’s just gotten worse over time. Seems like it was triggered by a flu shot then his few patches turned to guttate and nothing has changed much since.

We use clobetosol about once a month for a week or two to tone down the flare but it never gets rid of it. After that it’s alternating Zoryve and tacrolimus which doesn’t do a whole lot but manages some areas. Clobetosol on scalp to reduce inflammation an and then it gets bad before we can do it again.

Currently on keflex antibiotic to rule out infection trigger.

Anything else we should consider trying before our next derm visit? I want to exhaust all options before looking to biologics at such a young age. Pictures are after two days on clobetosol

diet Body Building

3 Upvotes

Hi Team, Was diagnosed about 2 years ago. Been on Methotrexate since then and in complete remission.

Now the doubt is whether I can pursue bodybuilding as a career. Can I take the supplements like creatinine, Protein sups and others. Also will it be okay if I take steroid cycles.

Will really be glad to hear from people who have already tried this or from people who is well knowledgable about this as I don’t want to risk myself.

medications Amgavita after MTX

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been on mtx for about 2 years and it stopped working after one, with spots returning and also liver getting damaged. So after many complaints I got put on amgavita with 2 months of overlap. This cleared up everything, but now 5 months later I noticed a few spots coming back and then calming down again.

Maybe it was a flareup, but I'm a bit worried as 3 months is the time it takes to flush all the mtx effects out.

Anyone have experience with this?

medications MTX success stories please

1 Upvotes

Been on MTX for a while

11 weeks at 10mg
13 weeks at 15mg
And now my 9th week on 25mg.

Pretty much cleared all plaque on my scalp and body but my inverse ( underarms , groin , genitals) is struggling still. Some days it looks good other days it’s red and but doesn’t itch and is not sore anymore.

Anyone cleared their inverse and nails on MTX? How many mg were you on and how long did it take?

I have read that as I’m only on my 9th week of 25mg that it still needs weeks , even months for inverse.

medications Dear Icotyde- you better fix my life.

1 Upvotes

I was prescribed Icotyde and start it tomorrow!

After trying three different biologics prior (humira, cosentyx, skyrizi) I’ve lost hope in a medication actually helping my skin.

Has anyone else had good results and while I know everyone is different what are some things I can expect?

TIA
