What do you think triggered your Psoriasis?
I had strep throat and broke out with guttate psoriasis about two weeks later at the age of 33 for the first time. It took six months to clear up with nbuvb light treatment. Now when I get stressed out or have a cold I will flare up again.

For me I say bad luck and bad genes. But yeah, I hear guttate goes crazy from strep.

Well, for me, it was a yr ago. I was going to work full time, grad school full time, and had other responsibilites. I can remember having a swollen elbow. I had it checked out and got some antibiotics to treat it as it just appeared to be bursitis or something. At the same time, I was super stressed from finals going on at the same time and noticed I began to get "rashes". I figured I was stress-related from everything going on at the moment so I went to see a derm that prescribed some topical ointments (that of which didn't work). The "rashes" just kept spreading. I had a thought it might be psoriasis by the plaques I was developing and the areas where they were forming. I was later diagnosed with psoriasis. I feel that the combination of the swollen elbow (infection) and the stress during that time brought on my psoriasis.

Too much of tomato based products, yeast, too much sun on my skin, tanning beds, beer, tobacco, the wrong brand of hand lotion/perfumes, stress, not enough exercise, and strep infections. I really have to take good care of myself or pay the price of a bad PA and Psoriasis flare up. I can still flare up even while on Enbrel. Although it is not as bad as it would be if I were not taking Enbrel twice a week.

All you can do with over the counter remedies is to help control the itch and pain of it. Rest, exercise, good moisterizers, and good eating habits could help to put it in remission. I heard that fish oil pills can help with the inflammation. Nothing really helped me once I turned 35 except Enbrel injections.

To be completely honest, I was 17 when I first broke out after a summer of using drugs. It was all over my back and my forehead. At the time I had no idea what it was but didn't really try to treat it. It was my first experience with drugs so I guess my body freaked out but it reminded me what I learned in school! Say no to Drugs!!!! Now it seems to flare mostly during winter, stressful times and when I stop treament.

When I had a reaction to Benedictine I got strep, and that hurt for awhile, I even coughed up blood.
