Hi all 🙋‍♀️ New to the site, but had psoriasis to differing extents for 25 years +, seems as I get older I’m subject to more and more autoimmune conditions. Cleaner diet seems to help a little. Any advice on things I *should* eat? Thanks all 😊

Has anyone had Genital Psoriasis and HPV virus? I am a male 40 years old and have had HPV virus for 8 months now with my genital psoriasis. It has flared up to the point that steroid ointments or my Tacrolimus aren’t helping now. Please help?

My question is about hair loss. Each time I increase my D3/K2 I shed. A lot. It's as if my scalp thinks that fall has arrived again. Does anyone else have this happening?

Covid was downgraded to the flu in March 2020. You may all think I am crazy but you can get the truth at drcharlieward. Do your own research before taking the vaccine, don't take my word for it.

Ade - Are you a FLERFER too ?

Mike - Just someone that believes you should do some research before making decisions. And you?

Anyone went for the vac and if you have, how do you feel? Been reading up on it and a bit weary to go for it. It's safe for us to go for it? I heard that should I decide to take the vac, I should take the Oxcord jab as its not as strong?

I've put together that my significant hair loss is due to meds. I've always had thick hair but have lost about 1/3 of it. My skin is great but my arthritis is just as painful as a year ago. I didn't realize I was so vain about my hair but I am.
