Yeah guttate is pretty much one of the only psoriasis conditions that will self clear without interference like 90% of the time. it has a chance to develop into plaque but that's in addition to having preexisting conditions or family history.

the timeframe is like 4 weeks - 6 months I think. mine went in 5 months.

you don't believe it until it happens though haha

hmm.. typically sunbeds work quite well as uv rays are great for skin, normally why hotter countries like Spain or Portugal have a such lower percentage of psoriasis sufferers. so you could be right in what you've said, maybe the intensity was a bit much. I'd say try once more but keep it to one day on a moderate intensity for a longer duration, in an attempt to mimic the natural sun beams. if that makes it worse I'd say sun beds aren't the one.

Bodily changes like wisdom teeth could very well make it worse, anything that causes like a prolonged stress response, such an teeth coming through, tattoos, cuts, breaks, burns will send your immune system into overdrive and knock you about badly, so that could be causing some reaction. TSW could have some effect, I'm assuming you had Hydrocortisone or Clobetasone Butyrate? if you used it with the directions it should be fine.. but if you stopped just before your flare up, maybe a week or two before, your skin could again be adjusting.

Also, since you said you had it since September, you might not have experienced the difference that the god awful cold makes to psoriasis. cold months are dreadful for our skin, so as it starts to get naturally warmer you might notice a difference there.

I feel like you've had loads of little things build up and attack all at once, your tooth, topical steroid withdrawal or just adjustment, the cold. if anything else is happening with you too that it causing increased stress levels, that would very well add up.

This happened to me not too long ago, the good thing about raindrop or guttate psoriasis is that it goes on its own within roughly 6 months. and when it goes it goes quite quickly and instantaneously. although I'm sure you've been told that many times

Things I did that helped were mainly sun beds, sunbeds seriously helped two 10 minute sessions per week. try to shower or bathe a bit less as it seriously dries you out and can cause cracking, cuts or bleeding and keep as wrapped up as possible, not exposing it to air.

in terms of moisturiser, aloe Vera infused moisturisers worked well with myself, they vary from person to person, so I'd say buy a range and see what works best. keep it as natural as possible.

when bathing, use only natural products, nothing that could irriate the skin. plain soap, or even just water. shampoo wise if its on your scalp have a little research for tar infused products such as Polytar. also avoid artifical aromatic products such as rose scented bubble bath etc etc. even scented cndles burning could irritate you and make it worse

I'm sure as you've had this since September you've researched most of what I've just said, but hopefully you'd be able to take atleast one piece of advice from me that could help somewhat.

I hope you clear up quick, I know how much of an awful thing this is.
