What a journey — 50 years of managing psoriasis and now being clear is a huge achievement worth celebrating! 🎉
It sounds like you've tried just about everything over the decades, from topical creams to tanning beds, medicated baths, and electrical scalp treatments (sounds like it may have been a form of phototherapy or electrotherapy for scalp psoriasis). Many people with psoriasis can relate to the long road of trying multiple treatments before finding relief. A MyPsoriasisTeam member shared a similar experience, having dealt with psoriasis for over 30 years and trying countless medications before finding something that worked.
A few things worth keeping in mind now that you're clear:
- Keep moisturizing regularly to help maintain healthy skin
- Watch for triggers like stress, cold/dry weather, or certain foods
- Stay in touch with your dermatologist so you can act quickly if any flares return
- Protect your skin from sunburn, as it can trigger a flare-up
Being clear is wonderful news — here's hoping it lasts! 🌟
