Any brides with psoriasis?

Your MUA should be able to help. Do you respond to light therapy at all, in conjunction with your med? Which drug, if you don't mind me asking?

Not psoriasis but chronic dry skin that flares up with stress. My MUA helped me cover my patchiness the morning of the wedding day. There's also a green product that fades to the color of your skin sold at Sephora. I think it's called Dr. Jarts? It really helps too. Not sure if it may react with any medication you're on, though. Good luck OP.

Girl! I posted almost an identical post like two weeks ago! Psoraisister solidarity! I'm on otezla and haven't seen as much of an improvement as I'd hope to see. As of now, my plan is to see my see my derm and get a cortisone shot 1-2 weeks before the wedding because that usually clears it up for about 3-4 weeks. Comes back with a vengeance but at least I won't have plaques for the wedding

I also know that whenever I've tried to cover plaques with makeup they stung like fuck, especially on my face. So I'm really trying to find a way to minimize plaques and not just cover/conceal them

Oh man, I'm sorry you have to deal with it and I know it is probably causing extra stress you don't need to think about. FH gets it on the backs of his hands. I get severe dry skin flare ups from stress in a band on the top of my head. For a while I was getting something in the outside corner of my eye and he had me use some of his cream, which helped. I was traveling a lot for work at the time and stressed. I've seen MUA work miracles if your flare ups aren't sensitive to it.

Guess we're in a similar crappy boat! My dermatologist gave me something topical but I will echo asking your MUA for help.

I don't have psoriasis, but I do have eczema. And really, its creepy because it is intense red and brown blotches in a giant symmetrical pattern on my back that looks like I am about to grow wings like the black swan or something. And my dress is backless. I know that is still nothing compared to psoriasis, but definitely something I am thinking about. Im planning to treat as much as I can then have the MUA cover what she can and just let it go and be me after that.

Thank you for the feedback! @PrettyWitty&Gay--I'm on Otezla too. Had a great response in a clinical trial and continued on it, but have had some stubborn patches that won't go away and a few new ones that are stress related. Have never had flares like this before, so I haven't been on anything for year. Thanks for the tip about the cortizone shot.

@Jess'sGirl--what kind of light therapy? I haven't tried that since I have fair skin. Regular sunlight or tanning beds or is it UV light?

Ask your derm. There may be a focused option that won't risk you getting burned. Usually, phototherapy happens prior to drugs, but I think it depends on severity and the doctor's choice. I have more experience with the injectable drugs, Humira and Enbrel, as far as biologic meds. I know those change lives.

I have bad eczema that flairs up with heat so stepping out in the sun for an hour and I have bumps on my arms, hands, legs. Fingers peel until they bleed. Skin conditions are hard. Every May I have to go to the Dr to get a special prescription cream to help but not cure.

1 day they will come out with affordable medicine for our skin to clear for good but the best thing you can do is not stress so much, which so hard i know.

Have you tried Apple cider vinegar? They say drink 2 teaspoons per day with 16oz water for at least 2 weeks.

I actually dilute ACV with water and rub it on my eczema at night. I know not same as psoriasis but ACV helped clear eczema on my face.
