Psoriasis Guttate

(Guttate) Psoriasis?!?

I am 16 and I’ve had psoriasis for around 5 months now and it is just getting worse. I have tried everything for (steroid) creams for the doctor, basic moisturisers, acupuncture, dead sea salts in my bath.. EVERYTHING! & Nothing is working, it just keeps getting worse. I am trying UV light treatment next week which will hopefully help but please please please help me! It’s all over my face and I get ‘What’s happened to your face’ and I have to wear scarves, jumpers, jeans and hats because it is all over my scalp too! Any ideas?! I have tried cutting out junk food and alcohol etc… but doesn’t seem to help. PLEASE HELP?!

This is not contagious and this may stem back into your family history. The trigger is usually a streptococcal (bacterial) infection. This happens in most cases after having a strep throat infection. You could also be a strep carrier as well.This is why its Not going away This can be triggered by infections other than from streptococcal bacteria. A cold chicken pox.This could be an immune reaction. The T cells (a type of white blood cells) which protects the body from infections . This is triggered abnormally and sending signals to inflammation in the skin,some people carry this gene you must have a high number of lleukocyteantigens-(BW17- B13 or CW6) Psoriasis is the only disease associated with the human lleukocyteantigen C gene.
When the body has a streptococcal infection it will produce antibodies to streptolysin O that’s on the bacterial cell, so people who have excess of human leukocyte antigen B13 may not be able to produce enough antibodies to streptolysin O, Which may be associated with this guttate psoriasis. 80 % of people with this condition have an streptococcal infection usually in the form of tonsillopharynigitis. Viral infections such as chicken pox, rubella, roseola could trigger this condition.
Erythromycin: reduces inflammation for bacterial infections 7-14 day use.
Penicillin VK: treats bacterial infections 10-14 day use.
Rifampin This is for resistant cases around 5-7 days use. Be aware of any and all allergic reactions to ANY drug you happen to take Always!
This can not be preventable, but complications of flair ups may be reduced by avoiding trauma to skin by not rubbing harshly or scratching to often.This could lead to more place where not affected as of yet.This is knowen as the Keobner phnomenon.
The association between streptococcal infection cannot be overemphasized!!
This could be the 1st sign of getting chronic plague psoriasis in 68% of people happen to do so.
Tar productes are good for the scalp (head)This treatment needs to be done untile you have adequate control of your lesions. This is an OTC product, If this fails then as your doctor for a scrip so this product can be stronger and help rid the lesions from your scalp.A coal tar or wood tar is great to use, This comes on a shampoo and soap soap is better last longer.(wood tar Grangpa’s pine tar soap)Place on head rub let sit for at least 5 minutes rinse the longer it sets the better for maximum absorption of the tar.
For severe cases your health care provider may have to write you a scrip such as Methotrexate, Oral Retiroids or Cyclosporine or Biologic medicationsA derminsterist might be of some help as well.Before you take any meds make sure you ask your health care provider of the side effects.
I can relate to you with this I had and I repeat had the other type of psoriasis and treated my self and got rid of it and have no break outs in many many years. This is a diseas most doctors have little knowlage of and for what reason who knows when I got mine the docs told me mine was a huge rash till I seen an old timmer and he nailed it straight up with just a visual (looking at).I do beilive there is people working on this but still no REAL cures as of yet. There are alot of people who suffer from this either stage and are at a total loss as to what to do and what treatments are best. One treatment may not work for you but will for others so its a do and see type treatment.Try treatment if it fails try another till you find the one treatment that does what you need. I had to do this and the final treatment I cant tell you here most people would think Iam totally NUTS.I truely Hope you find your cure Good Luck and NEVER give up Never!!!!
