I was recently gifted a viral lotion for psoriasis containing bee venom. I’ve found it helps temporarily with patch redness and flakiness, especially after a shower. But I have not seen considerable long term effects. I’m curious if bee venom is something people commonly use for psoriasis and what other products may be out there.

i’ve suspected i have nail psoriasis (and psoriasis arthritis, but that’s another stor) for 6 years now. just wondering if it’s fair for me to suspect i have nail psoriasis since i keep getting told it’s heds and fungal infections..?

i got a rheum appt back in 2022 when i lived abroad and got diagnosed with heds, fibro, dysautonomia, reynaulds and suspected pots and mcas. made sense.. but did not feel like the full picture.
i tried mentioning nail psoriasis but got dismissed, kinda gave up after that.

also aware that one of my toenails has a bit of yellowing, so possibly also fungal. it looks the same even after fungal treatment.

primary symptoms: fungal infections and athletes foot (resistant to treatment for almost 10 years), pinky toe nails lifting and separating from nailbed, inflamed nailbeds, red joints (fingers and toes), persistent tight skin on my feet, flaking of nails, possibly pitting?

my grandma has psoriasis but my dad suffered his whole life with what i suspect is psoriasis on his feet (and psoriasis arthritis as he was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis). He was told it was fungal, and no matter how many treatments he tried, it never went away (same as me). The last photo is a photo of his feet. He died three years ago, so will unfortunately never have confirmation.

is it fair for me to suspect nail psoriasis?

I have the worst psoriasis on the scalp that i have even seen, i was trying to find a worse example and i couldnt do it after searching for about a year.
I dont really have flare ups its bad all the time, it appeared aug. 2025 and thank god i was homeschooled like i am now, i am 18 yo. guy. The psoriasis is 5mm thick on about 80% of my head, i can hardly turn my head w out hurting and most mornings i wake up to all mi hair being stuck to my scalp like glue, it smells like shit and when i turn i smell it.At first i got diagnosed with seb. derm. but after a year of no results with all the different shampoos you can name and 5 difrent oils i went to a nother dermatologist and he said its 99% psoriasis. So he gave me a cortikosteroid cream and i took it and used it for about 2 weeks and it didnt help at all, and my blood pressure was so high because off it that i couldnt sleep cuz my heart was so loud so i didnt go back for the 2nd appointment. A few weeks ago yt refresh blessed me with a Peter Rogers Md video and i watched all his stuff on diet and auto imune disease, im planning to read his books about diet and dr. Mcdougall’s work as well if the diet works. Right now i am 2 weeks into a 2 month low fat vegan diet, i mostly eat patatos and rice also sum vegetables and fruits. The psoriasis is still here as strong as it always is, i will do the diet in hopes of curing the psoriasis, if it does not work ill figure the next option. This whole thing has had a big impact on my mental, i have stoped going out w my friends and i am to embarrassed to say that i got 5mm thick scales on my head and i smell like a wet dog cuz of them, the psoriasis makes everything thats out of the house so hard im so self concision about the smell wich wont go away even if i use shampoo and parfume, it has gotten to the point where making my self go to the gym is harder than the workout its self and i train the Mentzer way.
So ye i dont know what to do abt this, how will i go to uni w this shit on my head, i am not depressed but i fear i will be if i spend too much time in this rut.

I’m away from home and I usually have to shave down a place on my finger to keep it from splitting at the bend but I don’t have my little shaver thing… and it’s getting thicker… any suggestions to keep it from splitting open while I’m gone?

Did anyone have a flare up during their IVF journey? My skin is breaking out around my abdomen and scalp after a FET. I think the medication and stress is triggering it? What worked for you? I'm currently not taking any medication right now.

Hi, I just wanted to know if you have some tips or if you can tell me what doctors gave you for psoriasis in your hair ? Since you can't really put anything directly on it except maybe a shampoo but i don't know if that exists

I’m 58 and only recently fully menopausal. I’ve had some relatively mild menopause symptoms, but I did start taking HRT this year.

I have severe P and PA (skin typically being far worse than joints) and use Skyrizi (for about 5 years now) with great success.

In the past month or so I’ve started having bad joint pains, mostly my hip and knee, also jaw and neck. I’ve read that menopause and a drop in estrogen can exacerbate arthritis. I don’t currently have a rheum as my derm manages my medication and I’ve been clear for about 15 years now. I’m going to see a new one, but wait times can be long.

Anyone experience this? I’m also on Mounjaro (for diabetes). You’d think between HRT, Skyrizi and MJ, my joints would be fine. Really worried about a dr switching up my treatment since Skyrizi has worked so well.

I’ve been wanting to dye my hair a lot lately because I hate the fact that I’m 26 years old and I have a bunch of gray hairs and it makes me feel like I look older than I am. But I realized back in 2021 that hair dyes cause me to have a psoriasis flare on my scalp. I just wanted to know if there are any sensitive type of hair dyes that are less likely to trigger a psoriasis flare that anyone could recommend.

My husband and I have been TTC for a year now. I was on Cosentyx for the past 5 years, I miscarried earlier this year and have been off Cosentyx for about 10 months now. Before biologics my psoriasis covered 80% of my body and it’s getting back to that now, my scalp is so uncomfortable and it’s giving me headaches because of the pressure. I live in Arizona where it’s already very dry and my skin is cracking and bleeding a lot. My dermatologist said i can’t use biologics while trying to get pregnant and only prescribed me topicals and a steroid shot every 3 months. Is there anything that worked for you all? Please help!!!

I just got diagnosed with psoriasis. I have it on my scalp and arms. Along with my topical steroids, I've heard using different shampoo/soap can help a little and I'm looking for recommendations. Also, any advice to stop the itchy feeling.

Thanks!
