What is happening to meee??!! ***TMI***

It does sound hormonal to me, did they do any bloods?

Hmm.... no idea but sheesh I feel for you. You need to go back to your GP and them to run some tests. Like ausgirl said, could be hormonal??

Apart from the pill have you changed anything else? Your soap or shampoo, laundry detergent? Any major changes to your diet?

I have a male friend who has in the last two months developed terrible psoriasis. He has never had it before and it is quite severe on his face, scalp, hands and (his wife tells me!!) his genitals (both the frank and the beans!). He is seeing a psoriasis clinic who have suggested it is caused by recent stress. Have you been particularly stressed lately?

Thanks girls...ausgirl, they did do a blood test but I'm not sure exactly what they were testing for...but I remember her mentioning my iron levels. My suspicion is that its hormonal too...how can that get fixed? Its not like there is some medicine or cream I can use!

Oops, sorry nickle730 I missed your post!

I have changed my soap, only on docs orders tho...to Aqueous Cream, and shampoo to a dandruff shampoo (only in the last 2 weeks tho). But the symptoms were happening long before either of those changes. No changes to my diet, if anything I'm probably eating healthier in an effort to try and fix whatever is going wrong. As for stress...I've been very stressed with work the past few weeks...but again, symptoms were there months ago. I dunno...
