Alternative Treatments?

I was on methtrexate for over a year and doing great until the side effects became so severe I started missing work. I had to change insurance and my doctor prescribed Otezla. After 2 starter packs, I was doing great again but my insurance won't cover it. Anyone have advice, maybe holistic until my insurance issues are cleared up? Topicals haven't worked for me in the past. My joints are getting very painful and my psoriasis has flared up horribly. Thanks!

At one point I had an ENT diagnose me with a month-long psoriatic ear infection...total fun. I use Vaseline in the morning and tend not to reapply because some parts of my ear still seem moist. Sometimes I use coconut oil in the evening or right after a shower. The past 2 days I have used Aquaphor. I need OTC/homeopathic suggestions for… read more

Scalp Psoriasis Or Something Else?

I have had scalp problems for about 13 years and was previously diagnosed with psoriasis. It has now spread to cover more of my scalp where it was previously just the back of my head. If you have psoriasis on your scalp was it hard to be diagnosed? Is this what yours looks like? Do you have more symptoms than just the scalp issues (fatigue, joint pain, etc)? The area in the photo has appeared within the last few months but on the back of my head where it’s been feels more… read more
