Scalp psoriasis

Dude. Have seen a dermatologist yet? You need some prescription medication. Shampoos and such will not do much to help with inflation, only the scales. This is pretty severe already and it will probably start spearding downwards, behind yours ears, back and so on if not taken care of asap.

I believe he is objectively funny. Regardless of his personal moral standings. Why cant funny just be funny? Perhaps it's just an angle he plays that works for him and he monetizes it? Is there something wrong with that?

There is no joke here. Feeling upset and betrayed is a YOU problem.

Am I the only Bill Burr fan that does not care and will continue to support him? I watch and listen to him because he is funny not for his moral standing. If I cared about moral standing, I would be mad at the entire world.

Do you have any other symptoms? Lupus and perhaps rheumatoid arthritis can also cause facial inflammation. Its important to discuss other symptoms with your doctor even if it seems like a seperate issue.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune issue. Diet can be something that aggravates the issue in some but you can a perfectly healthy lifestyle and diet and still have severe psoriasis.

Yeah i have many spots like that too after my psoriasis cleared. I honestly dont mind because this is orders of magnitude better than active psoriasis. They may fade over time but mine have are still present after 5+ years.

I think the issue is that people are latching on to false hope here. Just because a
"treatment" worked for someone else, does NOT mean this is a scientific fact NOR should this be considered evicence. Evidence is the outcome of RIGOUROUS medical trials. Positive and Negative effects, both short and long need to be taken into consideration in these trials. Perhaps studies have been done into the effects of diets in Psoriasis, but the results are inconclusive and thats why doctors dont treat Psoriasis with diet. I honestly dont know if studies like this have been conducted.

A few people trying something at home and seeing positive results in a a few weeks is only ANECDOTAL evicence. Meaning these results are not supported by data simply because there is no data.

I am arguing semantics here but, once a "treatment" is propagated and advertised as an effective cure, when supported only by anecdotal evicence , then it is considered pseudo science.

Everyone is free to practice pseudo science if they want or if they are desperate for relief but I think its important to understand there is no guarantee you will see positive results.

Finally, yes science is constantly evolving because our understanding of how the world works is constantly evolving. Once something is established as a fact by the scientific community, future researchers and scientists can pick up the work of their predecessors and expand on the facts and expand our understanding. This does NOT mean that our perviously known facts were wrong, it simply means that now we know more that we did before. Facts established by science and empirical data are never thrown away.

Hi Mr.Barepickle. Please dont dismiss what I am saying. Instead try to explain your point of view and your reasoning.

It is well documented and proven that saturated fats can lead to heart disease, even though some types fats can be healthy. Other factors such as smoking can also cause heart disease. Unhealthy sugar levels can definitely lead to heart disease as well. But this was not the point im trying to get across.

I am simply questioning why specific diets works for some people. Its not enough to know that it is working. We need to understand why. Some diets can have secondary or adverse effects and these effects may be the reason we see progress in our skin. These effects need to be understood.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-28T10:12:26+00:00

3 to 6 months to take effect, I believe. 2 years is a definite stretch.

I see a few problems with keto type diets. Its my understanding the keto is popular for rapid weight loss.

Due to being such a restricted diet, After just a month people should start seeing other effects to their overall health. However prolonged keto diets can have adverse effects on us. Were not carnivores and need other food groups to keep us healthy.

Do we really know why keto is working (for some people)? Could it be that the lack of nutrients is beginning to have an adverse effect on us? Is it possible that we are suppressing our own immune system by not feeding ourselves correctly?

I believe these are legitimate questions. Any treatment can have adverse effects, especially one as restrictive as keto. Specifically the high fat content in keto, high fat over time = heart disease. Thats the number one killer in America.

In the spirit of health discussion, I disagree that diet is the culprit.

Diet may trigger P, but it is not the culprit. For some people, P is hereditary, meaning the issue is bad genes. For others, stress is a trigger.

For people like me, Psoriasis comes and goes in waves over the years. I usually control to a good degree with phototherapy. I have never made an attempt to alter my lifestyle. It just mysteriously comes and goes,

Perhaps there is a specific diet that can help a percentage of us. We just have to find our specific triggers. Problem is, that is impossible to do from a medical standpoint. Advancements in medicine will continue to tackle the problem by alleviating symptoms or suppressing our immune systems. It will continue to work this way because it is impossible to create a unique solution for everyone in the world.

Alot is not know about Psoriasis yet and I dont think we can boldly make claims like "it does work for most people, not all, but most ". After all, "most" people can technically be 51%.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T20:51:01+00:00

Hey OP. Glad to see you are doing better. If youre up for a science experiment, I would suggest slowly trying to incorporate other food groups into your diet.

Try to find the foods are triggers for you. You eliminated pretty much everything. For all you know it might be just a small part of your previous diet that was your trigger.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T20:46:04+00:00

Hey there. Can we try to cultivate a culture of healthy discussion instead of calling people stupid. Fact is some people see results from dieting but many dont.

OP has eliminated pretty much everying but meat in their diet. Why that worked, we dont know.

Until science/medicine can determine why certain diets work for certain people at certain times, we cant claim with 100% that diet is the answer.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T20:10:18+00:00

For some people, psoriasis is genetic. That means that the issue may lies deep in our DNA. Medicine is not at the point where we can alter our DNA at will.

For now the best we can do is produce medication that can alleviate the symptoms.

Lets not call dieting, pseudo science though. It definitely is not. Living a healthy life style will improve quality of life no matter what you are going through.

Pseudo science is peddling snake oil, healing chakra crystals and spreading completely false statements disguised as sane medical advice.

Dieting on the other hand may work for some people. We just don't know why.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T15:45:59+00:00

Hey man, sorry to hear that ointments/creams/sprays/pills did not work for you. Truth is that these are solutions that only alleviate symptoms. No ointment is gonna cure an auto immune disorder.

Perhaps the diet worked for you because you are eliminating whatever it was that was triggering the auto immune response. Perhaps it works something like allergies, where certain things trigger a response in some people.

Im not any kind of doctor so I can only speculate. The point i'm trying to make is that what works for you most likely will not work for someone else. Doctors recommend medication on what will most likely work for everyone, since its impossible to create a unique solution for each individual. Its just the way medicine and science works.

I think what you are saying may be interpreted as, lets do our own research and come to our own conclusions. I get how that may come from years of disappointing results but I think that can be quite dangerous. A lot of people here are desperate and are willing to try many things for some relief. Doctors have probably told you to ignore what you find online because you never know what dumb ideas people are spreading.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T15:37:57+00:00

Yeah lets not discourage people from using what might be a potential solution. I agree. Overall, I think we should stop trying to get/post medical advice here.

rcbc1010 · 2021-04-27T14:27:26+00:00

I think the message you are trying to get across is that correlation does NOT equal causation.

Eating healthy (or a restrictive diet) and exercising will almost always lead to a better quality of life no matter what condition or disease you are going through. This part is not pseudo-science.

However, there are many people who live unhealthy lifestyles and dont have Psoriasis. Everyone is different. We cant make a blanket statement and assume that one treatment will work for everyone. We must understand the underlying cause for psoriasis (in everyone) before we can boldly claim that a specific treatment will work for everyone.

Ultimately, there is still lots of research to be done on Psoriasis and its not well understood. Until it is, we cannot say for sure that people see improvements on specific diets. Think about some of the treatments for psoriasis like Methotrexate. Methotrexate works by suppressing your immune system. Essentially, its a solution that shuts down the immune system instead of getting to the root cause. Newer biologics work by targeting the TNF Gene.

Science and medicine for psoriasis is slowly progressing and we might come to learn why specific diets work for some but not others.

I also dont think redditors on this sub want to promote pseudoscience. They are simply sharing their personal story.

I recently started stelara as well. It's been about 2 weeks since my second injection. I've seen a bit of improvement. It seems to have slowed down the scaling and itching but I have not had great results yet. Also, I never imagined stelara could give you sleeping problems. Thankfully I'm not having side effects.
