Psoriasis & skin issues

I've had a rather large patch of psoriasis on my right thigh for a few years now. Right after my vsg it nearly cleared up. When GERD kicked in it came back with a vengeance.

I now have developed a patch in of all places my left arm pit. I've also had super dry itchy skin since my RNY. I have switched both laundry soaps & body washes multiple times and tried creams, salves and lotions. Even prescriptions.

right now I use cerave and a prescription to keep the itchiness somewhat at bay "sometimes". Does anyone else deal with skin issues? Any tips?

I was talking to a friend who told me she has good success treating it with Witch Hazel.

I was diagnosed with eczema at 18 yo. Only thing that really works for me is triamcinolone cream. Dehydration and stress make it worse.

My advice is get to a good Dermatologist. There are many effective treatments. My company has a couple very effective therapies. But I'll Leave it to your doctor to evaluate your best options.

Yes ! I lived w a guy briefly ( number 4 at Citibank ) who had chronic skin issues w psoriasis . We solved them together ( then he asked to marry me then I left)( and he became numba one ... chairman ) Yep ... young n dumb

the cure is twofold - DONT drink a bottle of vodka a night... then take chewy vitamins every single day and get out into the sun ( or they won't work) .

I made that man wear shorts ... sit out on our ( very rare for NYC terrace ) take vites n eat right . Geez he was so grateful when his skin cleared up and he felt 1000 times better lol .

Psoriasis is a vitamin A and D deficiency . You can take all the pills n creams you want but you need SUN to make em work . Wish all diseases were this easy a fix .
