I've had psoriasis since I was 12. When it started my mom thought it was ring worm but the doctor said it was eczema.

When the eczema treatments didn't work they biopsied my skin and the results were psoriasis.

I used to have it on every joint on my body. I never wore shorts and I wore long sleeves.

A couple of times it traveled up my legs and I had to go on an antibiotic because I scratched till it was infected. OUCH!

There was a period of about 10 years when I must have been in remission because my skin was clear.

Last spring I had my first case of ON and my psoriasis started back up.

It is not as severe as it once was. I have some ointment I use that helps with the itching and pain.

I have a patch on the palm of my hand that is uncomfortable right now.

I use Fluocinonide cream tar. It has not cleared my skin up but it does make it less painful.

Is there some connection between MS and psoriasis? Or is it the auto immune thing that is the connection?

There is another thread about food allergies and MS. I also have a few food allergies.
