Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 33 years old, and I have been suffering from psoriasis. I started Cosentyx two months ago but got this terrible chest infection. My WBC count is 12.4 cells per microliter, and I might need to stop the medicine. These patches cover 40 % of my body (PASI score 28.4). I tried topical steroids before, but they made my skin so thin. What other options do I have? Please help.
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder.
Moisturize skin frequently.
Use Liquid paraffin lotion in the daytime for 15 days.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A and C.
Eliminate stress.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks.
