Hi I'm new to the forum.
I've had P since age 6 w varying degrees of severity, but my skin is good atm.
What's worrying is my joint pain - not yet diag with PsA but getting tests and it seems likely.
Having an awful joint flare atm, any hints?

Not a good psoriasis day. Scalp dry all over. Fighting urge to scrape / scratch, trying not to agitate it... Elbows thick and red (not flaky, weird?!) Could be the trial of dairy (day 5 of tiny amounts of dairy) or the sore throat that is brewing! ☹️
