I believe I have it on my scalp and behind my ears. Flaky skin, red splotches, etc. so from what I gather there’s no cure only treatment. What’s worked for you if you have it?

    Biologics.

    Remicade, Skyrizi, etc.

    Injection/infusion only because stomach acid would orherwise destroy the medicine.

    Risk of infections, colds, etc are increased. Dont get pregnant while taking a biologic. Shits expensive, and still not a cure, but they clear up skin pretty well. Theres a lot more intricacy than what im mentioning, but im not a doctor/pharmacist. My experience is passing and casual only.

    I have never taken them, but dated someone who did, and she was thankful for them. I think they gave her some dignity back, and allowed her to not be embarrassed or awkward about her condition.

    Before she was prescribed biologics, she had a battery of bloodwork done, and she also had to try two or three other meds before she could be prescribed Remicade. She still has regular bloodwork done, too. We still see each other socially on occasion, and i think she is taking Skyrizi, along with something of a non-biologic origin.
