I have a patch on the inside of my palm. It flares up at times. Have had a lot of treatments done but it always comes back. I've noticed sugar and gluten intake make it more irritated. Has anyone else felt that?

Off work at the moment as I have no voice and I am coughing like a seal with emphysema, not ideal in my profession as a middle school teacher. On a positive note, I am too busy coughing to notice if I am itchy :)

Brought myself some Dead Sea salt for the bath. It's recommended for Psoriasis. Tried it last night. I haven't scratched for years but after 20 mins in that stuff I was clawing at my skin and now my hands are red raw.
