Keep these on the back burner if you’re still navigating the nuances of the condition.
Tran says her doctor also suggested using a gentle soap without fragrance or exfoliating beads. “Those can affect my skin when I’m scrubbing myself,” she explains. Asking your doctor about the skincare treatments they specifically recommend for you will help you find the right products that won’t further irritate your skin during flares.Tran says she’s considered taking biologics, but she also plans to start a family in the next few years.
That doesn’t necessarily mean you must avoid biologics while pregnant. It ultimately depends on the specific medication in question and how necessary it is for your health and well-being. Some biologics have been shown to cross the placental barrier, which means the medication may reach the foetus. In some instances this has been connected to birth defects; in other cases the risk is unclear. But most doctors recommend erring on the side of caution.
Michelle says her psoriasis was “mild at first,” but she went to see a dermatologist after her condition worsened. She ended up taking a biologic medication, which has helped improve her symptoms, but she’s also learned that certain fabrics are more irritating for her than others. “I wear a lot of natural clothing and have found brands that make very stylish clothing made of hemp, cotton, and bamboo,” she says. Generally she finds that synthetic fabrics—such as nylon, polyester, and spandex—are “very uncomfortable” when dealing with untreated psoriasis.
Of course, this totally depends on the person and where the psoriasis patches are located, which is why it’s always a good idea to ask your doctor about what they recommend when considering the location and severity of your symptoms—because even a small change could make a huge difference in your day-to-day comfort.
