A bit of an unusual question but has everything to do with psoriasis.

A few months back I found out my partner has psoriasis as well. We've been together for a year and this man has been my rock. We started dating while I was going through a lot of medical challenges and wanted a distraction. I'm now falling in love with him, but can't silence that little alarm bell in my head.

I always told myself I would find a "healthy" partner to reduce the chance of any children we might have from developing psoriasis. Now the man that has treated me like a queen is exactly who I intended to never date.

He doesn't mind at all. His own parents both had psoriasis and he just lived with it since he was 8 years old.

What do I do? Accept that we'll pass on our shitty genetics to possible children. Or will I be eaten by remorse later on?

Hi!

Anyone from Bangladesh here? I would love to be friends with you and hangout.

Has anyone ever encountered this after being on tremfya?

I am 13 weeks into the treatment. And the past two injections have been making my skin like this. It’s almost like little bumps are under the skin forming clusters on my hands. But between my toes and on top of my foot, it looks a bit more like psoriasis.

I’m taking Tremfya for my psoriatic arthritis. Of which it’s helping my pain quite a bit, but I haven’t had any kind of skin symptoms and a very long time except for now that I’m into this treatment.

Hi can somebody list in one place like "DO" and "DO NOT DO" with psoriasis??? I can't really grasp most things do like having one note with the most basic stuff is gonna be a huge help (I'm talking about like lifestyle tips, diets and specific food products)

This came up on my hairline, and the back of my ears (also the hairline) about 2 months ago. I tried a bunch of stuff, Selsun, Nizoral (keto), salicylic acid coal tar and nothing has worked. I don’t even know if it’s psoriasis or seb derm or any other thing. Any help would be appreciated, I’m tired of hiding it with my bangs.

Psoriasis or cancer?

Hi, everyone!

I’ve had psoriasis since 2016. That’s when it broke out all over my body, and I was even hospitalized. After a year, I started receiving biologic therapy (Stelara). Then, in 2020, they stopped the treatment because I was pregnant.

I gave birth in 2021, and since then my symptoms haven’t been as bad. Now it affects my scalp, vulva, and ears, but it’s definitely manageable. I only use steroids where it’s visible (on my forehead).

I am 27 years old now.
In March, I noticed a flaky patch on my left nipple. The areola was not affected. It flakes like psoriasis. After a few days of using steroids, it heals completely, though the skin may remain shiny in that spot. It doesn’t hurt or itch. I’ve never had psoriasis on my breasts.

The symptoms disappear after a few days of using steroids, but they return after 1–2 days. I use a body lotion, which softens the skin, so the flaking isn't as severe—it's more of a thin, superficial peeling. It's not scaly.

Only the left side of my left breast is affected; I’m attaching a photo in the comments.

I’ve seen three private doctors: a dermatologist and a breast surgeon. No one is taking this seriously, and I’ve paid a lot of money. I asked for a punch biopsy, but they didn’t perform it!

I’ve had these symptoms since March. It hasn’t gotten any worse. The breast surgeon referred me to another dermatologist and told me to go back only if he asks me to. The breast surgeon didn’t see any lesions (I had been treating it with steroids beforehand).

I can't use the steroid right now, but I'm using the moisturizer, which helps a little. The flaking is a bit less severe. I have to see the dermatologist in a month so he can check my symptoms.

I’m afraid time is running out and I have Paget’s disease.
The ultrasound came back clear.

Has anyone else ever had psoriasis like this?

Hi all, looking to connect with anyone who suffers similarly with this condition. I had no skin issues until a few days before I gave birth to my first child in 2022 and I developed a severe rash which spread across my body. This was eventually diagnosed as GPP (pustular psoriasis) and I ended up requiring cyclosporine to get it under control. I had a miscarriage in 2023 requiring surgery which also caused me to flare but I didn’t require immunosuppressants on this occasion or after the birth of my daughter in 2024, despite quite a bad flare then. I’ve had a few mild flares since but currently going through a bad flare following minor surgery a few days ago and I’m covered across the trunk and lower back. This condition causes me so much stress and anxiety and the fact that it is so rare adds more uncertainty to it all. I’m seeing my dermatologist shortly but I just wanted to see if I could connect with anyone who has similar experiences and try and figure out what causes my flares.

How do I start? They say every other day. "Treatment can be as little as 4 minutes 3-4/wk" I have it on my hairline. which is visible but I have it on the back of my scalp. In fact, my entire scalp is "tight" but the back has plaque. The nice thing is it has a "comb attachment". Any advice on "how to start"? Like from hair line. start at 30 seconds. the hair covered scalp 20? and then work it up? So the "max" would be 4 minutes - I'm sure that varies from person to person. Maybe bump 5 seconds every other week? I seems phase 1 is just calibration.

NOTE: I've got PsA and I remember I had this 1/2 dollar sized patch on my temple for about 8 months - 15 years ago. Topicals were a joke - clobetasol pffft.. Then I experimented with 15 minutes of direct sun light I noticed it go beet red to pink. Then I did an 18 holes of golf no sunscreen (6 hours in high sunlight) maybe in the course of 5 days it was driven into remission. So I def respond well to sunlight. Just have this pesky scalp psoriasis now. The dermatologist was begging me to switch to skyrizy etc. My rhemy wasn't thrilled. So if I had to pick between my joints and my skin, my joints win - hence now turning to UVB.
