Joan, Thank you questioning as I have never heard of PRP either nor has any of my medical personal or they avoid answering questions. On 2/19/2023 diagnosed Psoriasis: scalp and nails which started in early 2005-6? from stress with missed diagnosis of ovarian cancer 1/2016 am now in remission. I may also have PRP trying various skin creams and soaking in Epson Salts which soften skin. The hot/warm water also sooths the neuropathy (from chemo) helps me sleep. No meds for P or neuropathy only RX Cartia XT for HBP and Losartan occasionally may take 1/4 dropper of CBD oil with no THC which helps me mentally. At age 90, am still active/exercise at home trying to keep warm by moving around more, trying new recipes, etc. As there is no cure for psoriasis we need to find some comfort in exploring different meds, lotions, activities, etc.
Please keep posting on your progress with PRP.
