i have red spots mostly all over my torso
and around my knees. This is the first
time I experienced anything like this.
The doctor told me psoriasis is developed
due to stress, genetics, and the immune
system.. I have never met anyone with
this problem before though!
Some of the red spots go away, however,
they leave marks, similiar to when you pop
a pimple. Does anyone have this as well?
She said it's chronic and will stay with
me for life. It's so weird that it
developed so suddenly... If you have it,
how did yours develop? I was under severe
stress for the past two weeks, that may
have triggered it. However, i'd like to
talk to some of you who know about this to
make sure it's not some other disease.....

Hi there,my son has severe psoriasis his
body is covered with it,it all started
when we had a car accident,it was the
shock/stress of it all that was 8 years
ago,the worse thing for him is the costent
itching, his body is covered in big red
sores,sometimes when his skin is dry these
patches of skin go white and scaley,all
this time he has applied special cream,but
now we are going to ask our doc for light
treatment,from what you descibe it sounds
like psoriasis,but it doesnt have to be
severe,a lot of people get a mild
form,treatment asap is good.

What kind of treatment usually cures this,
or at least makes it stop? I keep getting
more and more of these little red bumps.
Do they ever stop??? How can I make them
stop appearing.... Stop stressing out?

Hi there,the cream my son uses is
daivobet,it is good but you need to use it
all the time,i think you need to get it
through your doctor,im not to sure about
that but I havent seen it on the shelf for
sale,the other thing that helps is hemp
cream,i got this from the body shop,its
not a cure but it does ease it,and I
believe that stress makes it worse I dont
think my son will ever be free of this
condition.

it feels different. What the....

Just wanted to respond. I have had
psorias since I was about 17. I am not
33. If you look up any information on
it, you will see that it is an autoimmune
disease that is not fatal but can be
linked to possible other health problems
like arthritis. Anyways, can be related
to stress and definately genetics.
Basically your skin cells develop way
faster than a normal persons leaving no
time for the dead cells to sluff off but
rather stack up on top of one another.
This is what causes the raising. The red
comes from the extra circulation it takes
for these cells to develop. There are
different severities of the disease.
Mine has always been in the middle to
almost gone. It never really goes away,
at least not for me. It goes into like a
remission period. That can last for a
long time, but for me certain areas will
go away and then maybe come back. Other
areas never have gone away. They might
go from bad to decent or vice versa.
Anyways, I have been to all sorts of
doctors and tried all sorts of creams.
Never steroid shots, I was advised against
that. I basically never found anything
that helped me, so I learned to live with
it. The only area that is exposed to the
public if I am not wearing jeans and a
long sleeve are my hands. Right now,
they both are effected, but I live with it
and answer people when they ask if I have
poison ivy. Ha ha! Well, at least I can
live with it. My grandpa had it and my
sister gets it so bad that she actually
had to sleep with seran wrap and come crap
the doctor gave her wrapped around her
legs for months. So, sorry to hear that
you have it, but way more people have it
than you might think. Dont let it get
you down!

Did you get it suddenly one time when you
were extra stressed out? That's what
happened to me. I have never had this
before and my family has never had it.
But a month ago when I was really stressed
out they popped up all over my body.

I honestly dont remember. But I do know
stress is a definate reason for it to
flare up. I think that once you have it,
it never goes away fully.. Just in
remission and can pop back up at any
time..

I just found out my 3yr old has it. It
developed over night. We also thought it
was an allergic reaction to antibiotic he
was on but doc just informed its
psoriasis. I'm worried cause its on his
genitals he keeps complaining about it. We
see dermatologist in 5 days, what can we
do in the meantime?

I have had severe Psoriasis for the best
part of 13 years... My Uncle has it &
my sisters get a little in there hair when
they are stressed out! I have it all over
my body.... I have some light white marks
on some parts of my body were the psorasis
ahs been then gone, they are only light
but i can see them... It is caused my
stress & sometimes it can be in your
body for a while before it comes out in
your skin.. Eg Arthritis! Don't ever try
chemo( methotrexate) i have just come off
that & my whole body is out of wack go
all nathuarl look at your diet.. Cut out
dairy, Wheat, Red meat, this will help get
on a natual liver cleansing tablet from
health food shop. Fish oil tablets are
great i take 6 a day....
I am a stressed person naturally which
dosen't help the more you stress about it
the worse it will get.. Mine got worse
when my fiance was killed in a work
accident. Know it runs my life... Go to a
Nathurpath they will help you alot!!
Hope this helps some

I had psoarisis since I was 7, and
currently i'm 15. No one knows how I got
it but I have had alot of stress in my
life, so that could have triggered it..
But anyway, How i treat it is sit out in
the sun for a while no more than a hour or
2 every other day. I think this is the
best way otherwise, take vitamin E pills
every night after dinner because then it
works while your sleeping.
I have psoarisis on my legs, knee,
stomach, arms, back, and scalp. I just
left my face last winter. but it was very
humiliating, and lowered my self esteem
like 100%.
But this is how i treat it. it's the best
way i believe, hope i helped.
