Psoriasis flare after virus
I had a bad flare of palmoplantar psoriasis after I had the measles a few weeks ago. I get all the weird psoriasis: nails, scalp, lip, ear, palms. After the measles, I broke out all over my hands, which I hadn't experienced that since 2010. I felt like my hands were covered in tiny cuts and my skin was peeling off.
I finally started Humira last week. I was nervous to take it bc of all the horror stories and how much it hurts going in. I didn't feel a thing. I wasn't even convinced I took it, but the nurse was there. Lol. So it's definitely working. Even though my dermatologist said it would take 6 weeks in conjunction with clobetasol ointment, it's almost completely cleared up. I'm so glad I started on humira. I'm feeling so much better overall. SI joint isn't constantly hurting. Fatigue is getting better.
For those of you who don't have psoriasis yet, you might. You might not know it yet. I walked around with it all over my nails since 2021 and no clue until the end of last year.
