Hi! Im newly(ish) diagnosed and currently wading through topical treatments trying to find my best cocktail. I’m not in a place right now where it’s realistic for me to overhaul my diet trying to remove possible triggers (plus, I haven’t yet noticed any real negative changes based on diet yet) but it feels manageable to try to ADD things. Do any of you have vitamins/supplements or other foods etc. That can help? Ideally science backed, not just vibes based. Thank you!

I am currently drowning in all the information and things I need to learn and adapt to with this new diagnosis, so please be nice to me if this is obvious.

I AM CONFUSED AND SCARED ABOUT LONG TERM STEROID TOPICAL USAGE. Enstillar, Dermovate etc.

I’ve used the aforementioned products as well as a few others and they work wonders for me. They’re the ONLY thing that seems to work in fact. My question is about long term use though. I know for each one there’s a typical safe period to use everyday (or whatever the stated frequency is) and then you can taper off for maintenance to like, 1-2 times/week. My question is basically: how long can you do that for? Like, could i theoretically use enstillar on maintenance mode forever? Or are there long term side effects that I need to be wary of? I am so so so scared of making things worse for myself down the line.

So grateful for anyone who can help me here.

Hi! I’m relatively new to all of this and still trying to figure out the right cocktail of things that work for me. One thing I’m confused about is “flares”. I see people mention them all the time but I’m not sure I get how they work? I basically have scalp psoriasis all the time, unless I’m treating it with steroids. I don’t see it get better or worse really… and I thought that was the norm? Is a flare something that will occur and things will get WORSE than this? Things got worse in like November and have been worse ever since, could that be a flare? Or is that too long term? Thanks in advance - I’m genuinely so overwhelmed by everything
