Psoiasas - I need help

[boombala]

If only you could see the bottles/jars of lotions/potions I've collected to try to stop this itch and possibly sooth the welts, you may be amazed.

This is driving me nutz. Have any of you who have this conditon, found anything that works to stop the itch and clear the welts? I have it only my belly and lower back but now it's creeping up my spine.

Also to add to above ....I would see a dermitologist ....give him a couple tries....if no joy then go to another one.
You may not be finding the relief you need as you may have been misdiagnosed.....it is always a possibility.

I have been researching auto-immune diseases/conditions and find that there may be a connection to psoriasis and hypothyroidism (I have both). I'm going to see an endocrinologist and have all 4 thyroid tests done.

Thanx for your input.

So if one is controlled it may help with the other?...I think you might be on to something.

Yes, that's what my research seems to have indicated. Fix the thyroid problem and the skin condition may (hopefully) go away.

Thanx so much for the above. I see the doc tomorrow.
