Hello Pitac, hope you are doing well. I did have psoriasis. It has finally gone away after 5 months! My rheumatologist told me that’s what it was. I will look forward to my next dermatologist appointment to let them know😠 hugs
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Next time you see your dermatologist ask him to do a biopsy of one of the lesions to confirm if it is or is not psoriasis and what type. If it is, feel free to reach out to me how i got rid of it in further details. A biopsy is the only way to know for sure whether its an allergic reaction, a viral or bacterial infection, or autoimmune related. Yours in better health P 😌🙏
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Psoriasis is a common side affect some people develop while on biologics. Did the dermatologist do a biopsy?

I did get rid of it, twice. It's been trying to make a comeback lately. 😒
