Is it just me that when I get a cold my psiorasis seems to get better? Had a cold for the past 3 days and it seems to be a lot less severe than usual, some of it is actually clearing up too. Might just be coincidence.

Anyone get the “regular” skin around a patch of P going a dark grey colour. The patch on my right knee has this, just went like that in the past couple of weeks. It’s not painful or itchy.

It’s been one year since I started on biologics and I remain completely psoriasis free. The hoops I had to jump through to get here though! Worth it in the end. To all of you who are suffering with Psoriasis, consider biologics, it’s changed my life.
