I've had psoriasis since i was 12, and it was mild for seven years, until last year when it covered my entire torso, elbow, and hip. I've been on a strict anti-inflammatory diet but nothing changed. I started birth control for acne and after 4 months it also helped my psoriasis, but then i needed to switch pills and its flaring again. I might have to stop birth control altogether and switch to spironolactone for acne, but my psoriasis will go back to flaring. Steroids don't help, and the things that do are too expensive. I want to try Otezla or biologics, but its completely unaffordable for me even though i live in Canada. I'm 20 years old and I've never even held hands or kissed someone because I'm so hideous. I just want to end it all at this point, and even my parents are disgusted by me. i'm gonna do what i should've done a long time ago and buy a bunch of sleeping pills.

I've been on tri-jordyna for 5 months and my skin has just stabilized on it (both acne and psoriasis) but now i'm getting dark hairs growing on my cheekbones and forehead that weren't there before. I think i have to switch pills, but i don't know how to make it easier than the last few months of hell i've gone through with my skin. My skin is super sensitive so all i use is a cleanser and moisturizer and i still have scarring from the breakouts that happened while i was adjusting. Does anyone know how to make it an easier transition so I'm not housebound for 5 more months :')
