They did a biopsy of one of my psoriasis patches and the results suggest I have a drug interaction, not psoriasis.
Really? What drug have I been taking since I was 20? You know... 49 years ago? None of course! They did ask for the newest eruption so I am wondering if my high blood pressure meds can be blame for *some* of my issues. The dry, scaly, peeling, oozing, red itchy patches are all over my body and have gotten worse as I've gotten older. So... maybe not helping?
I got some samples (new creams - oh boy!) and I start UVB light therapy tomorrow! YES! I step into the Big Box of UVB light bulbs and they cook me for 30 seconds (to start). I had this treatment decades ago and it cleared me completely... then the doctor retired and *no one* in the area offered it. I'm looking forward to this.

Dad had a similar skin condition, but his was anxiety driven. Glad that yours is hopefully easier to treat.
