OMGoodness, YES!! I learned that Beta blockers do. I am currently being whined off of one (Metoprolol) that is known to cause plaques that won't go away until I get the med out of my system. Hope that helps! ☺️

Art515, Sorry I missed the comment about my side effects, I was diagnosed recently w/ RA/PSA and horrible palmomater psoriasis with regular psoriasis. My flare was unreal and when the dermatologist finally was able to see me full blown, she said that I really need to get w/ my PCP to get off of the beta blocker due them not allowing the psoriasis to heal completely and even causing plaques, until I am off it completely. I am down to my last 2 doses and I am hoping these horrible plaques/cracks remove themselves from my hands and feet so I can get to living.
Also, food for thought while we are discussing the effects of meds on our system.While I have been going through this flare that was onset due to being a COVID victim in January, all my doctors are telling me they are seeing more and more skin disorders in patients, even the vac is causing the issues as well. I am not vaccinated and there is a reason for that. We don't know what effects it will have on our body and with me going full blown from COVID, will I go full blown again if I get the vaccine? They are still trying to get my current flare under control. ALL the stress from the unknown, that comes with these diseases is very overwhelming.

Wow, never really thought of that (the question). But I suppose with what's going on with the household at the moment, I should comprehend that all meds, supplements, etc can have super unintended effects. Even fatal. Talk about major suckage.

Happy Healing.🙂

This is way off-topic but I'm gonna put it out there cuz it's what's going on these days. We have a family member suffering terminally from some type of cancer. He was placed in hospice yesterday, was taken off food and water a day or two before.

Here's the thing, during the period of testing, let's say all the way back to maybe late-December, one of the pain meds that the doctors ok'd was ibuprofen (and some of the prescriptions contained it too). A few days ago, one of the family members remembered that the terminal family member is allergic to ibuprofen! How do they know? Because years ago, they had some issues and due to existing medical issues, the ibuprofen was causing blindness (amongst some other things, if I remember the story right). When the ibuprofen was stopped, he was able to regain his vision to what it should've been (for that age).

I often state that as a psoriasis sufferer, we all are gonna be pouring a lot of $$$ into lotions, ointments, salves, oils, etc to get our skin to look decent, to fight the itch, to deal with flaking, to thin the skin (clobetasol), etc. We are our own guinea pigs and what works for one may not work for another. With each remedy, we look critically at what works and what doesn't, but not necessarily the whys behind it. So too, with the medications, we have to be just as critical. Who knows what drugs trigger it unless we test them out, right?
