I am a young male with psoriasis who lives a very healthy active lifestyle and maintains a healthy diet. I don't drink, don't smoke, and have a normal BMI. I am very meticulous about my oral hygiene but was recently diagnosed with periodontitis at the dentist office which was very surprising to me. The hygienist explained that my immune response to even small levels of bacteria in the mouth is hyperactive which is why my gums are chronically inflamed. I also have essential hypertension which I have no family history of and is incongruous with my lifestyle. I am convinced that these diagnoses are linked to my psoriasis. People think that it's just itchy, flaky skin, but fail to understand that it's a systemic disease involving your immune system and widespread inflammation affecting various body systems, not just the integumentary. Thank you for shedding light on this, and I hope that there will be continued research that leads to targeted, safe, affordable, and effective treatment for people suffering from this chronic condition.
I also have psoriasis. Try googling high vitamin D as treatment. It worked for me and some others. I was low on vitamin d. And that causes flares of psoriasis. Like 5k iu per day for 3 months. Do your own research. Check your vit d.
I have severe psoriasis and diverticular disease, It's ruined my life. To anyone out there struggling with either, please don't let it beat you and godspeed to you all.
I'm suffering from 7 years now when I was 4 I got it on my thigh then I was cured but after some years I got flare ups on my scalp then my whole body is affected by it.. It ruined my life too.
@@leighstreet8298you have to stop eating anything with corn, soy or sugarbeets. A lot of it is preservatives That's all gmo and hurts your good bacteria. Get a pro biotic.
It's destroyed mine too. I'm on otezla and methylprednisone. 18 years now. My nails tear. The otezla helped with 50% of it but I have bad nausea and bad face breakouts. It hurts , burns, bleeds alot. Especially between my legs up my butt and other places are bad.
My husband struggled for years with psoriasis. For almost two years now he has been eating extremely low carb and no sugar and his psoriasis has almost vanished and his weight is healthy!!
I agree. Long story short... I firmly believe that that psoriasis (include eczema and seborrhea) is more of a herxheimer reaction (die off) from systemic / overgrowth of candida, not the kind you may be familiar with. This is the filamentous kind that gets throughout your body when you have leaky gut. I firmly believe that there is a cure for both the candida and psoriasis. I believe psoriasis is a symptom, the diagnosis is some kind of fungus/parasite. I cured mine myself because even my excellent MD wasn't aware... allopathic medicine is rarely aware of this. I believe it starts with taking antibiotics, especially without following with probiotics. Who ever heard of probiotics 60+ years ago when I was a kid and given tons of antibiotics. This also explains why alcoholics have such a hard time... candida loves alcohol (and sugar) and candida tells you what to eat/drink. It takes over your brain with cravings. The cure info is out there if you look for it, but MD's aren't taught this. PS: I have been low carb for 22 years. It's fantastic!
@@RealSky11 First off if you actually did have Psoriasis you didn't "cure" it because there is no cure. You’re just in a remission, which does not mean you are cured. This is just a fact of science! And yes Psoriasis is a symptom but not from a fungus/parasite. Stop spreading information that has no basis on scientific facts!
Such a caring statement, "It is ok to fail, it is perfectly normal to have failed, quitting smoking takes multiple tries." I will use that encouragement with the ones that I love who struggle with smoking. You are such a good person to learn from. Thank you for all your lessons.
Lifestyle changes _ underlying causes!!!! People think I'm a crazy naturopath, dissing the medical community & Western medicine for most things. Most people just don't understand that Western medicine is often just a band-aid that doesn't fix more address the underlying problem of most things it's there to treat! And often comes with much worse side effects than the original problem they are meant to treat. Unfortunately our medical doctors do not usually address the underlying problems so much as they want to prescribe creams which are part of the problem, at least for me! I'm allergic to formaldehyde and chemical preservatives which is in almost every cosmosutical product, baby lotions and even medical creams. They're just prescribing exactly what I'm allergic to. I feel like I have contact allergic dermatitis which causes psoriasis type issues. It's not severe in my case but when it flares up it's painful. Usually between my fingers, my neck, eyelids, inner wrists and eyebrow area. Can psoriasis because by contact allergic dermatitis?
If you mentally accept that nicotine is a drug and you are hooked to it and tactfully unhooking yourself will eventually free you than you can succeed in quitting. And don’t use this word quitting. You are not quitting instead you are curing yourself and avoiding use of nicotine drug.
My boyfriend has Psoriasis and the physiological and emotional effect of it on a person is no joke. I remember helping him put ointments at his back and I secretly want to cry because I cannot imagine how one would feel suffering from this skin disease. Thankfully his condition is controlled and does not flare up anymore 🙏DIET and STRESS are the #1 triggers at least for him.
hello, my boyfriend has psoriasis too, but only on his scalp. can you recommend me good ointments? because it costs me a bunch to go to dermatologist everytime his prescribed ointment ran out
@@juleha1 hello, his doctor prescribed a liquid form of “clobetasol” designed specifically for scalp. Very easy to apply, just drop it to the scalp like water!
As someone who's struggled with this disease for over 30 years I can tell you this Doc is Spot On. I've made all of these changes in my life and disease is nearly gone. Only my scalp is still affected for the most part now. Great advice Doc
Having any kind visible autoimmune skin issues right now in the age of monkeypox is a new kind of hell. Thank you, Dr. Dray for talking about these things and ways to help.

I have had psoriasis for the last 5 years now who ever has it as helpful tip is stop eating anything with dairy ! it has help me a lot with getting worse.
1) keratosis Pilaris Rubra faceii 2) keratosis Pilaris rubra faceii ateophicans 3) Follicularis Facei et colli and erythmelanomis Follicularis Facei et colli 4) various types of folloculitis from irritant to Follicularis malassezia and folloculitis Barbae I know you done a video pokiloderma of civatte but I have seen some people with complete remission using high strength retinoid and/or IPL laser As for the keratolic disorders newer and newer research suggest it could be linked to diabeties, bad gut health, insulin resistance, insulin sensitivity, hyperinselenemia, hormonal, estrogen dominance, liver issues/fatty liver I just wish dermatology focused on the root cause of the issues more… These are video suggestions to spread more awareness of other skin issues and in new medical literature of 2022 KPRF was successfully treated with a topical ointment published at Wiley online library
this couldn’t have come at a better time. i’m currently dealing with a very bad psoriasis flare up where my elbow joints have to be kept bent or else they’ll hurt. thank you SO much!! a video where you could recommend skincare that is safe for psoriasis would be awesome :)
This makes so much sense...I have scalp psoriasis but I also have anxiety, ocd, depression, chronic joint pain, ibs and hypertension since the age of 18 and now I have mitral valve regurgitation, I also have gastritis and papillary conjunctivitis. I constantly complain of pain and I'm in my 30s but getting to the point where I fear I won't be able to continue working full-time. Thank God I'm not a smoker nor am I a drinker.
Took me like 7 times to actually quit smoking. It's been 2 years. Now I'm focusing on my weight and fitness and have actually lost and kept off 15 pounds so far. I haven't really set any goals other than getting 30 minutes of exercise per day. Doesn't matter what kind just as long as I'm getting my heart rate up. Food I've just been doing moderation for everything and it seems to be working. My mental health has gotten sooooo much better.
I’ve managed my psoriasis for over 60 years but the past couple of years it has gone crazy. My dermatologist suggested laser treatments called Xtrax and the results have been amazingly positive. Twice weekly for about four months now and it is almost gone. It doesn’t work for everyone and I don’t know how long it will last…but I’m thrilled with the results.
My BF has psoriasis and is pretty skinny, walks all day at work, and his psoriasis is not doing well. It pains me to see him in pain, he was using Humira and it was working but it would debilítate him at times. The depression that comes with psoriasis is real! It’s tough and sometimes painful to see. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this.
@@XMponzio33Xplease look out for Ayurvedic treatment I've seen people getting well. Check amrutalaya Naroda Ahemedabad.

Wonderful, compassonate message containing important lifestyle information. One of my kids was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis as a teen and it continues to be a struggle for him in his twenties. I will share this video with him.
Thanks so very much for this video. It encompasses the whole struggle. Boyfriend has severe Psoriasis /Psoriatic Arthritis. It's been a long road to diagnosis and treatment. You've addressed all the side issues that often are disregarded. I hope others find this video helpful.
I didn't know we have a month, lol. Kicking sugar is so hard but it seems very worth it. I've noticed that avoiding refined and artificial sugars has helped with my sores and flare ups.
I got psoriasis when i was 14. Never smoked, drank alcohol and weigth 60kg. Mind you it was a stressful time with mom being a chainsmoking alcoholic. Tip 6: Never, ever take warm showers again I have psoriasis for more than 35 years now, covering 10%-20% of my body. I have been taking Daily Cold showers (2-3 minutes) for 3 months now and most of my psoriasis cleared. Sometimes new spots appear but they do not Stay for Long. This is the second time i ever seen this is happening without taking UV-treatment. Two years ago i also started taking Cold showers for awhile with the same effect. But then i got stupid and took warm Showers again. The psoriasis gradually returned. I strongly believe that taking warm showers is causing stress for your skin. This does not help your skin figthing of any psosiasis you may have. My advice: never ever take warm showers again. Additional bonus this days: it save me 100 euro a year in gas bill (just do the math)
@@SucculentChineseMeal , the colder, the better. Colder water trigger anti inflamatory responses in the body (science proof). Among many other benefits. It is just super hard to do and harder to keep doing it day after day
@@devgabriel6898good luck. I did cold showers for 2 years and didn't see much results. However, it's still a very good thing to do for various reasons. For me, sleep, sun , beach and eating healthy are the main things....but no cure.
I think it’s interesting that the same advice for better psoriasis management could help manage so many other different health issues as well. It just really just reinforces how important these lifestyle changes are for people in general.
My dermatologist in Canada told me my scalp psoriasis was a hygiene issue (!) and prescribed me a topical antimicrobial shampoo and a steroid liquid (alcohol based, ouch!) then awful cream steroid. The steroid works. The shampoo was awful and I threw it away. But all that did nothing to help me understand why I get flares in the first place. I stopped going go that derm and learned on my own. Dr. Dray has actually been a huge source of info. I still use the topical cream PRN. But diet and limiting alcohol has been a huge help. I want to know more about B12 cream for psoriasis though. Have seen pubmed papers talking about it.
Psoriasis is also thought to be a genetic disease and can occur within families. The five tips provided by Dr Dray are very helpful, not only in managing psoriasis, but also in maintaining general good health, for anyone.
It's actually been proven to be genetic because since the human body genes have been mapped, they identified specific genes responsible for Psoriasis. Let's hope they can find a way to turn those genes off.
Yes! Runs in my family and I recently got it I’m only 23 it’s been taking a very big emotional toll on me I can no longer wear short sleeves or shorts and became very depressed and insecure.
I have moderate plaque psoriasis and started on a biologic prescribed by my RHEUMATOLOGIST. It’s called CIMZIA. After 2 starter infections and one shot every 4 to 6 weeks . My skin was 95% clear after just 4 injections. No side affects for me. My joints felt better and my depression greatly decreased because I was in less pain and disgusting plaques on my face, ears, genitalia, knees, elbows, scalp basically my entire body. I hope if you try it you have great success.
I had my fiirst psoriasis flakes on my knees when I was 6 years old. I am 49 years old now, I have never smoked in my life, I consume alcohol may be a few glasses a month. I always had Mediterranean diet that is also where I live. I have an athletic body, always exercised well. I even danced a period (balllet). I am a Dr.pharmacist, have a successfull and a happy life. My father has psoriasis and I have too. Thats it. Now I have some signs of arthritis and nail psoriasis. I have some skin flaring on and off. It is not too bad. Iam trying to control it. I am almost gluten free and eating a healthy diet. This is genetic and there is no cure. It can be controlled to some degree hopefully. This is the summary of my ecperience 😞
My mum had psoriasis since her teenage years and used coaltar shampoo which did help her. She also swore by Nivea as a good moisturiser but she still had the psoriasis pretty bad and only when on holiday (salt water, sunny weather) was she cleared almost completely. I bought her some cream (proskin psoriasis) and it cleared all but the most stubborn patches. Some of their (mama natures) salveation also cleared her elbow patches and she beamed a smile and danced in the kitchen when it finally went away after years of covering it up with clothes as it made her self conscious!
I have psoriasis. I was diagnosed at age 43. My Mom was diagnosed with RA at age 40. One of my nephews is 25 and has psoriatic arthritis. I definitely feel that there is a genetic component. I don't smoke, I don't drink ANY alcohol. I am overweight and I was diagnosed with MDD at age 30. I am currently trying to lose weight. I was diagnosed with fatty liver. My psoriasis is very bad right now. My insurance will not cover biologics. Thank you for talking about this incurable condition.
The genetic component has been a scientific fact for decades, ever since the human genome was completely mapped. And they have identified specific genes that cause Psoriasis. One day they will be able to turn those genes off and we will no longer have outbreaks. Science is a wonderful thing.
Thanks for the video!! I am a teenager and have been noticing some skin flare ups over the past few years, I haven't gotten formally diagnosed, but my dad has psoriasis and eczema and we've been thinking I've inherited some of his skin problems. This video really inspires to keep up a healthy life style as I head off to college!
I have heard of several people completely eliminating it by healing leaky gut. I only have it on my elbows didnt have it until I was 40. I also have Coronary artery disease, arthritis, and fatty liver. I do have a rhumatologist but not for psoriatic arthritis. I had diabetes but only a year as I beat it through low carb, exercise, and massive weight loss. I no longer drink any alcohol. I stopped smoking 10yrs ago by switching to vaping never went back. Now stress I have had alot and been depressed alot too during my life. Im a recovering opiate addict 10yrs clean. Im still overweight but still loosing and walking 5 days a week an hour each day. I have not treated it other than over the counter lotions. Honestly its not bad enough for me to be willing to take any meds for. I would like to eliminate it however. Why dont we have a diagnosis for leaky gut? Why dont we treat it? Seems silly to just blow it off. The main issue I deal with is lonliness. Im always alone and probably will be forever as Im 50 now and as a introvert dont really ever meet people anymore. After losing both parents within a yr right before covid the lonliness really set in. No body else in my family has had this so find it very strange. I have also had most my teeth literally break off! I need some dentures but Im afraid to get them as mom always hated them and only used them to eat.
If you have Psoriasis then your first source of information should come from the National Psoriasis Foundation. They single handedly have been educating the public and pushing for medical research, for decades.
My dad has psoriasis, my mom has eczema from time to time and I have seb derm ... I feel cursed honestly. The main reason for us is high stress and anxiety. My dad is currently going through several symptoms you mentioned: high anxiety , high blood pressure , very puffy stomach and painful gas , depression, bad circulation, heart palpitations. I'm watching this video in hope I can help him :(
Look up TH-cam videos with Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg. Your dad needs to try eating meat, good fats animal based to cook food in and a little veg. High protein and fats. Keto or carnivore has healed so many with all these flare ups. It’s shocking. I have used so many ointments and steroids for years and now eating this way has been the godsend. I hate that took meds for all those years when I could’ve controlled it all with eating this way.
At least you can be thankful you live in a time with treatment options. Imagine if you had lived 500 years ago or even 200 years ago. The good old days, as some like to think.
I have had psoriasis all my life, I am currently over 50. Currently I take high dose of D3 K2 to keep it in remission. Losing weight and reducing sugar also had positive results. It is always a constant struggle when it flares I am grateful that I can keep it manageable at this time.
@@Resist4Vitamin D supports the immune system this is why it was prescribed to fight COVID. By the way, a blood test will confirm Vitamin D levels. It is estimated that 50-60% Americans are Vitamin D deficient, higher rate for those living in areas with long winters.
@@daw7773 too much vitamin D is also toxic and causes kidney stones. But, people get more than enough vitamin D with a daily multivitamin and still get psoriasis flare ups and patches that can take months or even years to clear.
I started smoking in grade 7. In my grade 13 year, I quit, I restarted almost right away during my first year of university due to going to bars so often and drinking. It goes hand-in-hand with smoking. I ENJOYED smoking. It felt like it allowed me to meet people. Most of my circle of friends were smokers, and I was afraid to lose some of them due to quitting smoking. I met people in my uni classes during smoke breaks (I would do my best to take 3-hour courses once a week instead of 2x 1.5-hour courses so I'd get that 15-minute break). It was much less awkward if I met some people and the prof planted a group project on us. I have social anxiety, and I HATED those group projects. Smokers usually avoid the awkwardness and go toward people they had met outside. It also felt like it reduced stress. And it does. For about five minutes! Then, you crash and burn and need that next cigarette to get back up again. The entire time until that next cigarette is a time where you have more stress. I would mainly see positives. I tried to quit because others were begging me to (like my grandma). Until you're ready to quit for yourself, there is no point in doing it. There are different types of motivation. Doing things for reasons that are not indeed for yourself uses extrinsic motivation. Think of it as trying to quit smoking because it's Jan 1 (New Year's resolution). Those last 3 weeks on average. The going gets tough quickly, and you have no real reason to keep trying. Jan 1 is gone, and you failed. You're fine with that if you can have a smoke. What you want is intrinsic motivation. This type of motivation makes you want to do things for yourself. I quit for my health. I quit because they were 12$ (cad) a pack when I quit). I quit because I was tired of yellowing everything in my apartment and knowing that people in my classes would point out how bad smokers smelled. I found a ton of reasons to quit for me. Treat yourself with the money that you save. You should also find solutions for the problems that you know will arise ahead of time. The things that you like about smoking will likely create problems. Plan ahead. I found solutions for stress. I found solutions to work with my anxiety disorder when a prof dropped a group project on us. I quit Sept 1st because I was finally ready. I had a cigarette on Sept 20th. I kept going. Beating myself up or saying ''I screwed up, so I may as well restart smoking'' is only detrimental to you. The more you fail, the more challenging you perceive it will be to quit. I fell off the wagon once on Sept 20th, and I had to realize why to prevent it from happening again. Do not restart, and try to quit again because you screwed up. You're human, and crap happens. I kept going, and I'm celebrating my 15th year on Sept 1st (in half a month). That's right. I'm not even starting from the 20th because I quit smoking on the first. I had one little accident. I will not beat myself up over it and say ''I didn't quit smoking perfectly''. There is no such thing.
My fiancé sufferers from psoriasis and one thing I’ve learned that it smooths his skin is vaselin, cerave and amino acid from TO.. it makes such a big difference when applied and he also enjoys it bc it doesn’t get flaky 💕
i was diagnosed with psoriasis during my first or second year of university about 6 years ago. During this stage of my life, was drinking every day ,smoking tabacco heavily and was experiencing significant stress due to the workload. for a very very long time, i suffered very severe psoriasis that covered 90% percent of my body. i cut out alcohol, smoking, tried all types of diets, tried varieties of therapies (both natural therapies and traditional medicine) , spending whatever money i had available to me. My psoriasis exacerbated my existing depression and anxiety. long story short, I truly started to see results spending plenty of time in the sun (sorry dr dray) and in sea water and most importantly, reducing my overall stress. i have been in remission for approximately 2 years now. i eat a healthy diet consisting of fruits, veg, whole foods, no junk food. i drink only every 4-6 months and i do not smoke anymore. i also make sure to engage in activities that make me feel fulfilled and happy to reduce stress.
@@pippinpadlopsocopulus yes I did eliminate all sugar, caffiene, red meats, dairy, gluten and nightshades. I became very obsessive. I also tried intermittent fasting. To be honest I did not see much change to my skin but I believe this was because I was severely anxious (raised cortisol levels) so any positive effects from the deit were overriden by this, if that makes sense!
Many amongst my relatives struggle with psoriasis. Creams rich with urea seem to help. In general, keeping the skin hydrated really comes to the rescue. I'm no specialist though.
Often what works for one person doesn't work for another person. And treatments can stop working out of the blue. This is why this disease is so frustrating and difficult to cure. But science is getting closer to real cure.
Thanks for the really detailed explanation (I'm using a translator for this text). I was very stressed from an early age because of my parents' divorce. Because of this, I suffered from severe atopic dermatitis. I was in remission for a while. But in my 30's I developed panic attacks and had suicide attempts. Later, I found a doctor I could trust, and my panic attacks and suicide attempts were finally cured. But at that time I was eating very little food. So I was extremely weak and debilitated to the point that I could not walk more than a few meters. And now I have psoriasis. This video taught me that exercise is better than expensive creams to cure psoriasis. I will try my best to walk and stretch from today.
I recently got a psoriasis flare for the first time in my life. It is the most uncomfortable thing in the world 😣 I read somewhere that stress can trigger psoriasis; I have been incredibly stressed recently and i’m pretty sure that’s the cause 😑
@@violetviolet888 in clinical settings it is a very controlled treatment. Very structured and timings are very short 30 seconds- 2min. I was happy with the results.
My experience with smoking: I quit smoking from time to time and always started again, when I was in a stressful phase in my life. Usually it would be 2/3 cigarettes a day at first and after a year or so I would smoke about 15/20 a day. Then I would stop and start again.. I don’t smoke now and I don’t feel the need. A have cigarettes at home - just in case I feel like it. Never happened for a few years but it’s good to know I have some at hand 😁 What worked for me is to stop trying to quit. I’m a grown woman and I can smoke, if I feel like it and want to. That’s it. When I forbade myself to smoke it was so so hard to resist. I couldn’t think of anything else. Then I just gave up. I smoked, when I felt like it and didn’t consider myself a smoker anymore. There is no such thing as a “smoker” or a “non smoker”. That’s nonsense. It is something that we do, because/when we want it. Then I realized, that I started to smoke less. After a while I forgot it. The moment I didn’t consider myself as smoker anymore and allowed myself to smoke, if I felt like it, the “addiction” was gone. It might not work for everybody, but it worked for me.
Another small but helpful trick is to cut a small amount, perhaps a quarter of an inch from the end of each cigarette. After a while, there is not the need to smoke a whole one. Then gradually increase to cutting a bit more off. Eventually getting to around a half a cigarette. Then set times of the day when can smoke. Give up the morning one first. Set a time for, say 10 am for the first cigarette. The mind will argue with you and make all kinds of excuses, but you just tell it.. 'Ok I hear you, but I'm waiting till that time'. You then extend it outwards. Before you know it you've trained yourself to smoke less. This works for some, at least to cut down, and then maybe quit. Possibly tailor-mades might be more addictive than rolling tobacco.
I just did my 8 week tremfaya injection not too long ago :) these are super great tips that have all helped me! Glad I'm not a smoker or big on drinking because I can only imagine how difficult that is to deal with.
I was diagnosed with rosacea years ago and I was diagnosed with plaque and inverse psoriasis just last week by my Dermatologist . I have fibromyalgia so I experience pain always. I’m going to see my PCP this Tuesday because I’ve been experiencing weird episodes of shakiness, confusion and feeling faint made better by drinking some pineapple juice and then separate episodes of n/v/d (oddly around when I should be or have ovulated) that last a couple of hours to days. This video has given me some food for thought to take with me to my appointment. I had no idea that this could all somehow be related to one another. Also I’m going to ask for a referral for a dietician as I also deal with ED’s (BED and bulimia) and I’m panicking about destroying all my progress of eating without boundaries. Guidance in this area will definitely help me to feel more secure as I make needed changes to my nutrition. I love all your videos! You’re so informative and without judgement. I love that you give us the grace we need when we stumble!
I have never smoked, drink 0-4 drinks per month (usually one a week on the weekend), exercise 6 days a week (running, peloton, strength training) , i eat a plant based vegan diet and gluten free (have celiac)- i have snacks a desserts sometimes but eat lots of fruits and vegetables, grains and proteins. i'm at a healthy weight (130 lbs 5"7) and sleep 8 hours a night. Somehow I still have psoriasis. My dermatologist tells me there's no lifestyle factors that will help me since I already live so healthy. I have it all over my scalp and guttate on my torso. No dermatologist is helping me - there has to be something else I can do. It's been 5 years, feeling defeated
I had and I repeat had psoriasis on my scalp feet legs arms and hands etc I tried dieting and everything else that was recommended, nothing seemed to work but then, I got some organic milk kefir grains and using GOATS milk started to drink it everyday the results are amazing., no more itching or plaques no more shedding skin. Along with plenty of Sun or vitamin D I can honestly say I am psoriasis free👍 I highly recommend this treatment it’s a God send.
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Thursday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Truly Gonna B so Helpful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
Diatomaceous earth will detox you from all issues, mainly parasites. I’ve been on it for about 9-10 weeks now. FYI; things can get worse before they get better but it’s worth it. Opal silica is what DE is and without it, nothing survives or thrives. I’m looking forward to the day that mine is gone. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. Dray for making a video in this topic, my mom has psoriasis (under control now with biologics) and I will be forwarding this to her! She was diagnosed with severe NAFLD and we were so confused how that happened (she doesn’t drink at all), but she did take methotrexate when she was younger!
I came back to this video, because I felt there is a whole lot of other info that could be added here. I hope this will stay up, because maybe it will help someone. For example, psoriasis, as with many other conditions, has taken a sharp rise since the seventies. Sadly, with the internet being heavily censored now, it will be difficult to get past the standard answers to queries. So, although I perceived the differences between children who had been given certain injections as children and/or a lot of antibiotics vs those who had not, it is difficult to point people to studies, as you have to get past the many websites set up to deter alternative research. However, There are some things that could be listed as points of investigation Including: Looking into certain deficiencies including Vitamin B, C, D3, fish oils, Glutathione, GLA-gamma linoleic acid, Iodine. Check for underlying conditions such as: Candida, Parasites, Allergies Gut microbiome inbalances. Perhaps get a Chlorine filter for shower head. Avoid bottle feeding babies. Cow's milk, cheese and ice-cream might trigger Gluten might trigger Avoid Artificial sugars.. especially aspartame. Glyphosates can trigger, as well as be another factor in obesity. I was going to write more, but there's a very helpful article from Shirleys Wellness Cafe. If you google: ' My Triumph Over Eczema, shirley's wellness cafe' you should find the link as I will not be able to place it here. On the article page you'll find a link to psoriasis too. You have to scroll past what may seem a blank area to get to the bulk of the article. Tbh I have only glossed over it, to read later. As an aside. I recall helping someone who had severe acne many years ago. He had been to dermatologists and had all kinds of treatments. But it wasn't getting any better for any length of time. At the time he was eating greasy foods. I took him off all the greasy foods and got him to eat Grated Carrots with Crushed Pineapple everyday. Plus I cleaned up his diet. Within 2 weeks his acne had cleared up... and what's more, so long as he didn't slip.. it stayed away. Grated carrots and crushed pineapple was the main part of this.
Thank you for sharing these amazing tips for managing psoriasis flares! As someone who struggles with this condition, I appreciate the advice and recommendations from a dermatologist like you. I've been using DermalMD Psoriasis Serum and it's been incredibly effective in reducing the redness and flakiness associated with psoriasis. It's great to see a product specifically formulated for psoriasis, and I appreciate the additional tips for managing the condition. Thank you again for the helpful video!
I don't smoke and never have. I don't drink and never have. I'm a healthy weight for my gender and age. I exercise 4-5 days a week. My diet is better than average, but not ideal. Still have skin and joint symptoms. All of these are good general health tips, but not specific to psoriasis.
My aunt had psoriasis. Her doctor told her sun exposure would help with it so she bought a tanning bed. Apparently the idea is that dying from skin cancer is a better option than living with psoriasis. 🤦♀️
A healthy balance of high intensity exercise, clean diet free from processed junk and no alcohol, definitely no ciggies or rec.drugs, at least 2 liters of fresh water per day, plenty of vitamin D and L-Glutamine and TNF blocker medication prescribed by your dermatologist...you'll enjoy remission for longer and enjoy overall better health...plus you'll feel great mentally.
Thank you so much for your very helpful and insightful instruction! I was diagnosed with PsA several years ago but have never had the skin lesions. Of course, now that I’m on remicade and MTX, I probably, hopefully, will never have those lesions. I do try to exercise every day and I can attest to it’s effectiveness in decreasing pain.
I have psoriasis in my face and scalp that comes every winter (From Norway, little sun) Doctor just say "Take this cream"... I'm 2 weeks into carnivore diet and seeing improvements.
I have been dealing with it now for a couple of months. I have two types of psoriasis and I have never had a breakout in my life until then. I am 45. I am struggling mentally and I cry nearly every day. It is so depressing. But I know stress also triggers flare-ups. It makes me not want to go out because people who's there. I am struggling quite a bit. I hope to begin some sort of oral medication next week at my dermatology appointment follow up.
After having some success with a Vitamin D cream, and recognizing that a few minutes in a tanning bed every week helped so much ( I can not recommend that☝️).. I decided to try a Vitamin D3 supplement, and my psoriasis cleared!! It was so quick there was no doubt the association.🤯 My dermatologist was impressed. Now, I had very mild plaque psoriasis.. I obviously don't know if this would benefit those with severe cases, but I figure it's a pretty cheap and risk-free thing to try? (as long as you don't get stupid and take half the bottle full everyday.🙄. Recommended doses people😉) Hope this helps someone else.
Just started this whole journey about 2 yrs ago (68 yo) I have found that it's directly related to my intake of wheat. Never had a problem before....also what about smoking cannabis?
Thank you so much for this informative video. I’m a primary care doc and psoriasis patient for > 35 years. My skin flared badly with stress - pretty bad during my training years and first years in practice. Biologics have been a wonderful treatment for me - but so expensive for many patients. Thank you for highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle and having a primary care doctor to help if needed. The lifestyle recommendations in the video are important for everyone - especially if you have a chronic illness. Thanks Dr. Dray!
You're a primary care doctor and needed this video to help you? Nothing in this video was new information and is pretty basic for anyone that has had Psoriasis for a long time.
@@Resist4 When I watched your video, what really struck me was your advice to have a primary care doctor be involved in their psoriasis care. Many people think they can forgo that important lifestyle piece and go straight to a specialist just to get a prescription. I primarily wanted to support and thank you for this advice for all psoriasis patients. (It was not new info for me.)
Thank you!! DrDray, me and my family just watched “game changer,” a documentary on Netflix, about nutrition and plant-based protein and the meat industry sharing miss information through advertisements geared towards men and manliness associated with eating meat. The documentary covered Pro athletes and plant based diets, it covered bio chemistry and nutrition, it really didn’t get into veganism culture or the animal cruelty or anything like that. But my family and I who happily eat meat, who happily eat fruits and vegetables and whole foods, it has us all convinced that we need to give a plant-based diet a try. Anyway, just wondering if you had heard of it and if not I highly highly recommend. I think you’d find it very interesting.
Sorry, just another thought, the documentary talks about the comparison of eating plant-based protein versus animal-based protein, comparative studies between different people, the phenomenal reserves of energy pro athletes had after switching etc. Olympic athletes, ultramarathon participants, some of our world record breaking athletes accomplished huge gains after switching to plant-based. When you hear the phrase strong as an ox, what does an ox eat? Plants. 🙂
Information like that will also be flawed and biased as everyone as an agenda. They don't tell you about antinutrients in plants and grains since we don't cook like they do in the olden days anymore. We also sometimes can't get the same nutrients from plants as animals can, so There's no point saying let's go to the source. I have never heard meat eating being suggested as being manly. Both sides always make strange claims when they're trying to outdo each other.
@@daisiesandpandas1218 well if you have an hour and a half, and if you have access to Netflix, check out the documentary and then if you still would like to have a conversation on the subject, let’s talk. I think you’ll find that it really doesn’t have an agenda, it’s pretty science-based and directly addresses the fact that much of what we believe about nutrition has been fed to us by those with agendas. It was really well-made and entertaining to watch. There is no way I could do it any justice discussing it on the comment thread of a TH-cam video.
Could you do a video on an allergic reaction to acrylates? Specifically gel nails containing HEMA. I've developed a horrible allergy to it and now my nails are cracked, dry and the skin is peeling around the nail. Thank you so much!
Love the tips mentioned in the video. Very helpful! Do you have any suggestions as far as ointments that you recommend? I’m currently using something called “psoriasis honey”. It helps but I’m open to other suggestions.
@@jin8339 Smoking anything (combustion of plant material) has deleterious effects on the body because of the carcinogens produced with combustion of the material. Vaporization of the cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis is a very different story, and can have beneficial effects on the body via the endocannabinoid system.
@@jin8339 Dr dray answered this before on her ig and said the same thing. I didn't say anything about marijuana. You could technically consume it a different way other than smoking.
@@TheEvanesarah My comment keep disappearing like 5 times. Look at American cancer society on topic of cancer and marijuana link which I tried to link but my comment keep disappearing. You can take 2 ways which is edible and smoke. Both acceptable due to studies and research. Not one is wrong to another but depending on situation. But nevertheless the main question is smoking marijuana has any 'impact' on psoriasis ?
![Eat to Beat Psoriasis with Dr William Li [FULL EPISODE]](/img/n.gif)
I am a young male with psoriasis who lives a very healthy active lifestyle and maintains a healthy diet. I don't drink, don't smoke, and have a normal BMI. I am very meticulous about my oral hygiene but was recently diagnosed with periodontitis at the dentist office which was very surprising to me. The hygienist explained that my immune response to even small levels of bacteria in the mouth is hyperactive which is why my gums are chronically inflamed. I also have essential hypertension which I have no family history of and is incongruous with my lifestyle. I am convinced that these diagnoses are linked to my psoriasis. People think that it's just itchy, flaky skin, but fail to understand that it's a systemic disease involving your immune system and widespread inflammation affecting various body systems, not just the integumentary. Thank you for shedding light on this, and I hope that there will be continued research that leads to targeted, safe, affordable, and effective treatment for people suffering from this chronic condition.
I also have psoriasis. Try googling high vitamin D as treatment. It worked for me and some others. I was low on vitamin d. And that causes flares of psoriasis. Like 5k iu per day for 3 months. Do your own research. Check your vit d.

I'm suffering from 7 years now when I was 4 I got it on my thigh then I was cured but after some years I got flare ups on my scalp then my whole body is affected by it.. It ruined my life too.
Do you still have your skin problem
@@shashikalakeshani1609 hi too you both, yes it's always with me, always sore and uncomfortable.
@@leighstreet8298you have to stop eating anything with corn, soy or sugarbeets. A lot of it is preservatives That's all gmo and hurts your good bacteria. Get a pro biotic.
It's destroyed mine too. I'm on otezla and methylprednisone. 18 years now. My nails tear. The otezla helped with 50% of it but I have bad nausea and bad face breakouts. It hurts , burns, bleeds alot. Especially between my legs up my butt and other places are bad.
My husband struggled for years with psoriasis. For almost two years now he has been eating extremely low carb and no sugar and his psoriasis has almost vanished and his weight is healthy!!
I agree. Long story short... I firmly believe that that psoriasis (include eczema and seborrhea) is more of a herxheimer reaction (die off) from systemic / overgrowth of candida, not the kind you may be familiar with. This is the filamentous kind that gets throughout your body when you have leaky gut. I firmly believe that there is a cure for both the candida and psoriasis. I believe psoriasis is a symptom, the diagnosis is some kind of fungus/parasite. I cured mine myself because even my excellent MD wasn't aware... allopathic medicine is rarely aware of this. I believe it starts with taking antibiotics, especially without following with probiotics. Who ever heard of probiotics 60+ years ago when I was a kid and given tons of antibiotics. This also explains why alcoholics have such a hard time... candida loves alcohol (and sugar) and candida tells you what to eat/drink. It takes over your brain with cravings. The cure info is out there if you look for it, but MD's aren't taught this. PS: I have been low carb for 22 years. It's fantastic!
Did he eliminate dairy as well?? Also tomatoes and potatoes (nightshade veggies)?
@@pippinpadlopsocopulus He doesn’t eat potatoes. He mainly has meat and vegetables-some dairy from cheese. He has tomatoes in a vegetable salad.

@@RealSky11 First off if you actually did have Psoriasis you didn't "cure" it because there is no cure. You’re just in a remission, which does not mean you are cured. This is just a fact of science! And yes Psoriasis is a symptom but not from a fungus/parasite. Stop spreading information that has no basis on scientific facts!
Such a caring statement, "It is ok to fail, it is perfectly normal to have failed, quitting smoking takes multiple tries." I will use that encouragement with the ones that I love who struggle with smoking. You are such a good person to learn from. Thank you for all your lessons.
So hard to quit smoking, smoked for 20 years....i quit 5 years ago after mulitple attepts. I still cant believe i stopped sometimes. Its that hard.
Lifestyle changes _ underlying causes!!!! People think I'm a crazy naturopath, dissing the medical community & Western medicine for most things. Most people just don't understand that Western medicine is often just a band-aid that doesn't fix more address the underlying problem of most things it's there to treat! And often comes with much worse side effects than the original problem they are meant to treat. Unfortunately our medical doctors do not usually address the underlying problems so much as they want to prescribe creams which are part of the problem, at least for me! I'm allergic to formaldehyde and chemical preservatives which is in almost every cosmosutical product, baby lotions and even medical creams. They're just prescribing exactly what I'm allergic to. I feel like I have contact allergic dermatitis which causes psoriasis type issues. It's not severe in my case but when it flares up it's painful. Usually between my fingers, my neck, eyelids, inner wrists and eyebrow area. Can psoriasis because by contact allergic dermatitis?
Hi
If you mentally accept that nicotine is a drug and you are hooked to it and tactfully unhooking yourself will eventually free you than you can succeed in quitting. And don’t use this word quitting. You are not quitting instead you are curing yourself and avoiding use of nicotine drug.
My boyfriend has Psoriasis and the physiological and emotional effect of it on a person is no joke. I remember helping him put ointments at his back and I secretly want to cry because I cannot imagine how one would feel suffering from this skin disease. Thankfully his condition is controlled and does not flare up anymore 🙏DIET and STRESS are the #1 triggers at least for him.
You are a sweet person for caring for him like that. ❤
hello, my boyfriend has psoriasis too, but only on his scalp. can you recommend me good ointments? because it costs me a bunch to go to dermatologist everytime his prescribed ointment ran out
What were the dietary changes he made?
Use humira or skyrizi.
@@juleha1 hello, his doctor prescribed a liquid form of “clobetasol” designed specifically for scalp. Very easy to apply, just drop it to the scalp like water!
As someone who's struggled with this disease for over 30 years I can tell you this Doc is Spot On. I've made all of these changes in my life and disease is nearly gone. Only my scalp is still affected for the most part now. Great advice Doc

Took me like 7 times to actually quit smoking. It's been 2 years. Now I'm focusing on my weight and fitness and have actually lost and kept off 15 pounds so far.

I’ve managed my psoriasis for over 60 years but the past couple of years it has gone crazy. My dermatologist suggested laser treatments called Xtrax and the results have been amazingly positive. Twice weekly for about four months now and it is almost gone. It doesn’t work for everyone and I don’t know how long it will last…but I’m thrilled with the results.
Hi, any updates?
My BF has psoriasis and is pretty skinny, walks all day at work, and his psoriasis is not doing well. It pains me to see him in pain, he was using Humira and it was working but it would debilítate him at times. The depression that comes with psoriasis is real! It’s tough and sometimes painful to see. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this.

long road to diagnose?
I didn't know we have a month, lol.
Kicking sugar is so hard but it seems very worth it. I've noticed that avoiding refined and artificial sugars has helped with my sores and flare ups.
How's your psoriasis now!
I got psoriasis when i was 14. Never smoked, drank alcohol and weigth 60kg. Mind you it was a stressful time with mom being a chainsmoking alcoholic.
Tip 6: Never, ever take warm showers again
I have psoriasis for more than 35 years now, covering 10%-20% of my body.
I have been taking Daily Cold showers (2-3 minutes) for 3 months now and most of my psoriasis cleared. Sometimes new spots appear but they do not Stay for Long. This is the second time i ever seen this is happening without taking UV-treatment. Two years ago i also started taking Cold showers for awhile with the same effect. But then i got stupid and took warm Showers again. The psoriasis gradually returned. I strongly believe that taking warm showers is causing stress for your skin. This does not help your skin figthing of any psosiasis you may have.
My advice: never ever take warm showers again.
Additional bonus this days: it save me 100 euro a year in gas bill (just do the math)
Herbalist Doc Kham can cure psoriasis diseases using his two weeks herbal medicine.
What temperature shower do you recommend? There's cool showers, cold showers then there's freezing cold showers!
@@SucculentChineseMeal , the colder, the better. Colder water trigger anti inflamatory responses in the body (science proof). Among many other benefits. It is just super hard to do and harder to keep doing it day after day
@@devgabriel6898good luck. I did cold showers for 2 years and didn't see much results. However, it's still a very good thing to do for various reasons. For me, sleep, sun , beach and eating healthy are the main things....but no cure.
Thanks
I think it’s interesting that the same advice for better psoriasis management could help manage so many other different health issues as well. It just really just reinforces how important these lifestyle changes are for people in general.
Yet it doesn't explain why even people with healthy lifestyles get Psoriasis flare ups or cancers.
Monoclonal Antibodies. That’s the Game Changer. Skyrizi has given me clear skin for 2 years with no side effects.
My dermatologist in Canada told me my scalp psoriasis was a hygiene issue (!) and prescribed me a topical antimicrobial shampoo and a steroid liquid (alcohol based, ouch!) then awful cream steroid. The steroid works. The shampoo was awful and I threw it away. But all that did nothing to help me understand why I get flares in the first place. I stopped going go that derm and learned on my own. Dr. Dray has actually been a huge source of info. I still use the topical cream PRN. But diet and limiting alcohol has been a huge help. I want to know more about B12 cream for psoriasis though. Have seen pubmed papers talking about it.
Hi Sandra, how's your day going with you?

Psoriasis is also thought to be a genetic disease and can occur within families. The five tips provided by Dr Dray are very helpful, not only in managing psoriasis, but also in maintaining general good health, for anyone.
It's actually been proven to be genetic because since the human body genes have been mapped, they identified specific genes responsible for Psoriasis. Let's hope they can find a way to turn those genes off.
Yes! Runs in my family and I recently got it I’m only 23 it’s been taking a very big emotional toll on me I can no longer wear short sleeves or shorts and became very depressed and insecure.
GREAT video filled with tons of info. I suffer from psoriasis and psoriastic arthritis
I have moderate plaque psoriasis and started on a biologic prescribed by my RHEUMATOLOGIST. It’s called CIMZIA. After 2 starter infections and one shot every 4 to 6 weeks . My skin was 95% clear after just 4 injections. No side affects for me. My joints felt better and my depression greatly decreased because I was in less pain and disgusting plaques on my face, ears, genitalia, knees, elbows, scalp basically my entire body. I hope if you try it you have great success.
I had my fiirst psoriasis flakes on my knees when I was 6 years old. I am 49 years old now, I have never smoked in my life, I consume alcohol may be a few glasses a month. I always had Mediterranean diet that is also where I live. I have an athletic body, always exercised well. I even danced a period (balllet). I am a Dr.pharmacist, have a successfull and a happy life. My father has psoriasis and I have too. Thats it. Now I have some signs of arthritis and nail psoriasis. I have some skin flaring on and off. It is not too bad. Iam trying to control it. I am almost gluten free and eating a healthy diet. This is genetic
and there is no cure. It can be controlled to some degree hopefully. This is the summary of my ecperience 😞
That’s what she said. There is no cure.
same🙌😭
Its not genetics...
@sky.1505 correct. If you've ever listened to Dr Bruce Lipton he talks alot about epigentics in that mostly all (95%) illness is outside of genetics.
My mum had psoriasis since her teenage years and used coaltar shampoo which did help her. She also swore by Nivea as a good moisturiser but she still had the psoriasis pretty bad and only when on holiday (salt water, sunny weather) was she cleared almost completely. I bought her some cream (proskin psoriasis) and it cleared all but the most stubborn patches. Some of their (mama natures) salveation also cleared her elbow patches and she beamed a smile and danced in the kitchen when it finally went away after years of covering it up with clothes as it made her self conscious!
I have psoriasis. I was diagnosed at age 43. My Mom was diagnosed with RA at age 40. One of my nephews is 25 and has psoriatic arthritis. I definitely feel that there is a genetic component. I don't smoke, I don't drink ANY alcohol. I am overweight and I was diagnosed with MDD at age 30. I am currently trying to lose weight. I was diagnosed with fatty liver. My psoriasis is very bad right now. My insurance will not cover biologics. Thank you for talking about this incurable condition.
The genetic component has been a scientific fact for decades, ever since the human genome was completely mapped. And they have identified specific genes that cause Psoriasis. One day they will be able to turn those genes off and we will no longer have outbreaks. Science is a wonderful thing.

Hi Kelly, how's your day going with you?
Thanks for the video!! I am a teenager and have been noticing some skin flare ups over the past few years, I haven't gotten formally diagnosed, but my dad has psoriasis and eczema and we've been thinking I've inherited some of his skin problems. This video really inspires to keep up a healthy life style as I head off to college!
I have heard of several people completely eliminating it by healing leaky gut. I only have it on my elbows didnt have it until I was 40. I also have Coronary artery disease, arthritis, and fatty liver. I do have a rhumatologist but not for psoriatic arthritis. I had diabetes but only a year as I beat it through low carb, exercise, and massive weight loss. I no longer drink any alcohol. I stopped smoking 10yrs ago by switching to vaping never went back. Now stress I have had alot and been depressed alot too during my life. Im a recovering opiate addict 10yrs clean. Im still overweight but still loosing and walking 5 days a week an hour each day. I have not treated it other than over the counter lotions. Honestly its not bad enough for me to be willing to take any meds for. I would like to eliminate it however. Why dont we have a diagnosis for leaky gut? Why dont we treat it? Seems silly to just blow it off. The main issue I deal with is lonliness. Im always alone and probably will be forever as Im 50 now and as a introvert dont really ever meet people anymore. After losing both parents within a yr right before covid the lonliness really set in. No body else in my family has had this so find it very strange. I have also had most my teeth literally break off! I need some dentures but Im afraid to get them as mom always hated them and only used them to eat.
I had no idea psoriasis had so many other symptoms. Thank you for always educating me.
thanks for watching
If you have Psoriasis then your first source of information should come from the National Psoriasis Foundation. They single handedly have been educating the public and pushing for medical research, for decades.
My dad has psoriasis, my mom has eczema from time to time and I have seb derm ... I feel cursed honestly. The main reason for us is high stress and anxiety.
My dad is currently going through several symptoms you mentioned: high anxiety , high blood pressure , very puffy stomach and painful gas , depression, bad circulation, heart palpitations.
I'm watching this video in hope I can help him :(
Look up TH-cam videos with Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg. Your dad needs to try eating meat, good fats animal based to cook food in and a little veg. High protein and fats. Keto or carnivore has healed so many with all these flare ups. It’s shocking. I have used so many ointments and steroids for years and now eating this way has been the godsend. I hate that took meds for all those years when I could’ve controlled it all with eating this way.
At least you can be thankful you live in a time with treatment options. Imagine if you had lived 500 years ago or even 200 years ago. The good old days, as some like to think.
I have had psoriasis all my life, I am currently over 50. Currently I take high dose of D3 K2 to keep it in remission. Losing weight and reducing sugar also had positive results. It is always a constant struggle when it flares I am grateful that I can keep it manageable at this time.
What do you consider a high dose that is safe?
And how do you know that the D3 K2 is what is actually keeping you in remission, when you are doing other things as well?

as a plaque psoriasis sufferer, i appreciate your video
I started smoking in grade 7. In my grade 13 year, I quit, I restarted almost right away during my first year of university due to going to bars so often and drinking. It goes hand-in-hand with smoking. I ENJOYED smoking. It felt like it allowed me to meet people. Most of my circle of friends were smokers, and I was afraid to lose some of them due to quitting smoking. I met people in my uni classes during smoke breaks (I would do my best to take 3-hour courses once a week instead of 2x 1.5-hour courses so I'd get that 15-minute break). It was much less awkward if I met some people and the prof planted a group project on us. I have social anxiety, and I HATED those group projects. Smokers usually avoid the awkwardness and go toward people they had met outside. It also felt like it reduced stress. And it does. For about five minutes! Then, you crash and burn and need that next cigarette to get back up again. The entire time until that next cigarette is a time where you have more stress. I would mainly see positives.
I tried to quit because others were begging me to (like my grandma). Until you're ready to quit for yourself, there is no point in doing it. There are different types of motivation. Doing things for reasons that are not indeed for yourself uses extrinsic motivation. Think of it as trying to quit smoking because it's Jan 1 (New Year's resolution). Those last 3 weeks on average. The going gets tough quickly, and you have no real reason to keep trying. Jan 1 is gone, and you failed. You're fine with that if you can have a smoke.
What you want is intrinsic motivation. This type of motivation makes you want to do things for yourself. I quit for my health. I quit because they were 12$ (cad) a pack when I quit). I quit because I was tired of yellowing everything in my apartment and knowing that people in my classes would point out how bad smokers smelled. I found a ton of reasons to quit for me. Treat yourself with the money that you save. You should also find solutions for the problems that you know will arise ahead of time. The things that you like about smoking will likely create problems. Plan ahead. I found solutions for stress. I found solutions to work with my anxiety disorder when a prof dropped a group project on us. I quit Sept 1st because I was finally ready. I had a cigarette on Sept 20th. I kept going. Beating myself up or saying ''I screwed up, so I may as well restart smoking'' is only detrimental to you. The more you fail, the more challenging you perceive it will be to quit. I fell off the wagon once on Sept 20th, and I had to realize why to prevent it from happening again. Do not restart, and try to quit again because you screwed up. You're human, and crap happens. I kept going, and I'm celebrating my 15th year on Sept 1st (in half a month). That's right. I'm not even starting from the 20th because I quit smoking on the first. I had one little accident. I will not beat myself up over it and say ''I didn't quit smoking perfectly''. There is no such thing.
My fiancé sufferers from psoriasis and one thing I’ve learned that it smooths his skin is vaselin, cerave and amino acid from TO.. it makes such a big difference when applied and he also enjoys it bc it doesn’t get flaky 💕
TO?

I have psoriasis so this is so timely! You da best
thanks for watching
Thank you for this. My daughter, who is 8yrs old, has psoriasis. This information helped educate me, which in turn, will educate her. 😊
i was diagnosed with psoriasis during my first or second year of university about 6 years ago. During this stage of my life, was drinking every day ,smoking tabacco heavily and was experiencing significant stress due to the workload. for a very very long time, i suffered very severe psoriasis that covered 90% percent of my body. i cut out alcohol, smoking, tried all types of diets, tried varieties of therapies (both natural therapies and traditional medicine) , spending whatever money i had available to me. My psoriasis exacerbated my existing depression and anxiety. long story short, I truly started to see results spending plenty of time in the sun (sorry dr dray) and in sea water and most importantly, reducing my overall stress. i have been in remission for approximately 2 years now. i eat a healthy diet consisting of fruits, veg, whole foods, no junk food. i drink only every 4-6 months and i do not smoke anymore. i also make sure to engage in activities that make me feel fulfilled and happy to reduce stress.
Did you eliminate dairy as well? Also nightshade veggies?? Thanks
@@pippinpadlopsocopulus yes I did eliminate all sugar, caffiene, red meats, dairy, gluten and nightshades. I became very obsessive. I also tried intermittent fasting. To be honest I did not see much change to my skin but I believe this was because I was severely anxious (raised cortisol levels) so any positive effects from the deit were overriden by this, if that makes sense!
@@ykoyama5100 thank you

Many amongst my relatives struggle with psoriasis. Creams rich with urea seem to help. In general, keeping the skin hydrated really comes to the rescue. I'm no specialist though.
Taking vitamin D3 supplement along with probiotics has greatly helped my psoriasis.
Often what works for one person doesn't work for another person. And treatments can stop working out of the blue. This is why this disease is so frustrating and difficult to cure. But science is getting closer to real cure.

Thank you, this just help me explain to my friends why im just not ok... often
I don’t smoke or drink and yet I still have to sit through lectures about how bad smoking is. I still have psoriasis and I still get bad flares.
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you .....
It's not about you
@@taylorkaiwai4297 I could care less what you think whoever the hell you are
I hate having psoriasis 😔😭 thank you for publishing this video 🖤
Yassi: go to her channel and search her existing videos for psoriasis. You'll find several.
I have psoriasis and PSA which is a kind of autoimmune disease that caused arthritis. I take Taltz and I am pretty clear and pain free.
Sugar....gluten.....make all your food from fresh....and stress plays a big factor.....
Thanks for the really detailed explanation (I'm using a translator for this text).
I was very stressed from an early age because of my parents' divorce. Because of this, I suffered from severe atopic dermatitis.
I was in remission for a while. But in my 30's I developed panic attacks and had suicide attempts.
Later, I found a doctor I could trust, and my panic attacks and suicide attempts were finally cured.
But at that time I was eating very little food.
So I was extremely weak and debilitated to the point that I could not walk more than a few meters.
And now I have psoriasis. This video taught me that exercise is better than expensive creams to cure psoriasis. I will try my best to walk and stretch from today.
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you
As a fellow MD, with an interest in Derm I find your videos so informative. You explain and teach very well 👌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I recently got a psoriasis flare for the first time in my life. It is the most uncomfortable thing in the world 😣 I read somewhere that stress can trigger psoriasis; I have been incredibly stressed recently and i’m pretty sure that’s the cause 😑
Light therapy helped my psoriasis no end! Though you do have to sign a waiver because of the UVA.
gj: You can treating psoriasis with home UVB phototherapy. No waiver required because it's a weaker power but can definitely help over time.
@@violetviolet888 in clinical settings it is a very controlled treatment. Very structured and timings are very short 30 seconds- 2min.
I was happy with the results.
What kind of device do you use? I suffer too with psoriasis
I have systemic lupus. I have noticed when my psoriasis flares, the lupus also flares. and vice versa.
My experience with smoking: I quit smoking from time to time and always started again, when I was in a stressful phase in my life. Usually it would be 2/3 cigarettes a day at first and after a year or so I would smoke about 15/20 a day. Then I would stop and start again.. I don’t smoke now and I don’t feel the need. A have cigarettes at home - just in case I feel like it. Never happened for a few years but it’s good to know I have some at hand 😁 What worked for me is to stop trying to quit. I’m a grown woman and I can smoke, if I feel like it and want to. That’s it. When I forbade myself to smoke it was so so hard to resist. I couldn’t think of anything else. Then I just gave up. I smoked, when I felt like it and didn’t consider myself a smoker anymore. There is no such thing as a “smoker” or a “non smoker”. That’s nonsense. It is something that we do, because/when we want it. Then I realized, that I started to smoke less. After a while I forgot it. The moment I didn’t consider myself as smoker anymore and allowed myself to smoke, if I felt like it, the “addiction” was gone.
It might not work for everybody, but it worked for me.
Another small but helpful trick is to cut a small amount, perhaps a quarter of an inch from the end of each cigarette. After a while, there is not the need to smoke a whole one. Then gradually increase to cutting a bit more off. Eventually getting to around a half a cigarette.
Then set times of the day when can smoke. Give up the morning one first. Set a time for, say 10 am for the first cigarette. The mind will argue with you and make all kinds of excuses, but you just tell it.. 'Ok I hear you, but I'm waiting till that time'. You then extend it outwards. Before you know it you've trained yourself to smoke less. This works for some, at least to cut down, and then maybe quit.
Possibly tailor-mades might be more addictive than rolling tobacco.
I quit smoking. Six years later zero change. I never have a clearing, 100% always present.
I just did my 8 week tremfaya injection not too long ago :) these are super great tips that have all helped me! Glad I'm not a smoker or big on drinking because I can only imagine how difficult that is to deal with.
Happy Thursday, Dr. Dray 🤍☀️🌸
Greetings Maricel Gundayao hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….
👱♀️❤
Morning!
I was diagnosed with rosacea years ago and I was diagnosed with plaque and inverse psoriasis just last week by my Dermatologist . I have fibromyalgia so I experience pain always. I’m going to see my PCP this Tuesday because I’ve been experiencing weird episodes of shakiness, confusion and feeling faint made better by drinking some pineapple juice and then separate episodes of n/v/d (oddly around when I should be or have ovulated) that last a couple of hours to days. This video has given me some food for thought to take with me to my appointment. I had no idea that this could all somehow be related to one another. Also I’m going to ask for a referral for a dietician as I also deal with ED’s (BED and bulimia) and I’m panicking about destroying all my progress of eating without boundaries. Guidance in this area will definitely help me to feel more secure as I make needed changes to my nutrition.
I love all your videos! You’re so informative and without judgement. I love that you give us the grace we need when we stumble!
Thank you dear❤ Great information
I am from india watching your video
I have never smoked, drink 0-4 drinks per month (usually one a week on the weekend), exercise 6 days a week (running, peloton, strength training) , i eat a plant based vegan diet and gluten free (have celiac)- i have snacks a desserts sometimes but eat lots of fruits and vegetables, grains and proteins. i'm at a healthy weight (130 lbs 5"7) and sleep 8 hours a night. Somehow I still have psoriasis. My dermatologist tells me there's no lifestyle factors that will help me since I already live so healthy. I have it all over my scalp and guttate on my torso. No dermatologist is helping me - there has to be something else I can do. It's been 5 years, feeling defeated
Have you tried sun and sea water?
Thanks for this video I saw a dermatologist so I've just been watching videos on how to keep it in check and I'm glad im already following these tips
Thank you so much! My husband and my son have psoriasis. A lot of information we didn’t know!
Mine was gone permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on TH-cam you can contact him also he can help you .....
I had and I repeat had psoriasis on my scalp feet legs arms and hands etc I tried dieting and everything else that was recommended, nothing seemed to work but then, I got some organic milk kefir grains and using GOATS milk started to drink it everyday the results are amazing., no more itching or plaques no more shedding skin. Along with plenty of Sun or vitamin D I can honestly say I am psoriasis free👍 I highly recommend this treatment it’s a God send.
Dr Dray your keen intellect & huge heart continue to astound me. This video was everything - so informative, encouraging & compassionate. 🥰

Diatomaceous earth will detox you from all issues, mainly parasites. I’ve been on it for about 9-10 weeks now. FYI; things can get worse before they get better but it’s worth it. Opal silica is what DE is and without it, nothing survives or thrives. I’m looking forward to the day that mine is gone. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you take it internally or externally?
Thank you Dr. Dray for making a video in this topic, my mom has psoriasis (under control now with biologics) and I will be forwarding this to her! She was diagnosed with severe NAFLD and we were so confused how that happened (she doesn’t drink at all), but she did take methotrexate when she was younger!

I came back to this video, because I felt there is a whole lot of other info that could be added here. I hope this will stay up, because maybe it will help someone.
For example, psoriasis, as with many other conditions, has taken a sharp rise since the seventies.
Sadly, with the internet being heavily censored now, it will be difficult to get past the standard answers to queries. So, although I perceived the differences between children who had been given certain injections as children and/or a lot of antibiotics vs those who had not, it is difficult to point people to studies, as you have to get past the many websites set up to deter alternative research.
However, There are some things that could be listed as points of investigation Including:
Looking into certain deficiencies including Vitamin B, C, D3, fish oils, Glutathione, GLA-gamma linoleic acid, Iodine.
Check for underlying conditions such as:
Candida, Parasites, Allergies
Gut microbiome inbalances.
Perhaps get a Chlorine filter for shower head.
Avoid bottle feeding babies.
Cow's milk, cheese and ice-cream might trigger
Gluten might trigger
Avoid Artificial sugars.. especially aspartame.
Glyphosates can trigger, as well as be another factor in obesity.
I was going to write more, but there's a very helpful article from Shirleys Wellness Cafe. If you google: ' My Triumph Over Eczema, shirley's wellness cafe' you should find the link as I will not be able to place it here. On the article page you'll find a link to psoriasis too. You have to scroll past what may seem a blank area to get to the bulk of the article.
Tbh I have only glossed over it, to read later.
As an aside. I recall helping someone who had severe acne many years ago. He had been to dermatologists and had all kinds of treatments. But it wasn't getting any better for any length of time. At the time he was eating greasy foods. I took him off all the greasy foods and got him to eat Grated Carrots with Crushed Pineapple everyday. Plus I cleaned up his diet. Within 2 weeks his acne had cleared up... and what's more, so long as he didn't slip.. it stayed away. Grated carrots and crushed pineapple was the main part of this.
I am currently on a biologic bc my psriosis was so dibilitating .
I am on Taltz. It has been a life saver.

Thank you for sharing these amazing tips for managing psoriasis flares! As someone who struggles with this condition, I appreciate the advice and recommendations from a dermatologist like you. I've been using DermalMD Psoriasis Serum and it's been incredibly effective in reducing the redness and flakiness associated with psoriasis. It's great to see a product specifically formulated for psoriasis, and I appreciate the additional tips for managing the condition. Thank you again for the helpful video!
Thanks for making this. Nice Kirby in the background! :)
I don't smoke and never have. I don't drink and never have. I'm a healthy weight for my gender and age. I exercise 4-5 days a week. My diet is better than average, but not ideal. Still have skin and joint symptoms. All of these are good general health tips, but not specific to psoriasis.
Miss Dray, I would love to know what your picks are for face, eye and any pampering masks are😊🧖♀️✨
If you are not a smoker and most people aren’t these days, then start this video at 4:38
My aunt had psoriasis. Her doctor told her sun exposure would help with it so she bought a tanning bed. Apparently the idea is that dying from skin cancer is a better option than living with psoriasis. 🤦♀️
A healthy balance of high intensity exercise, clean diet free from processed junk and no alcohol, definitely no ciggies or rec.drugs, at least 2 liters of fresh water per day, plenty of vitamin D and L-Glutamine and TNF blocker medication prescribed by your dermatologist...you'll enjoy remission for longer and enjoy overall better health...plus you'll feel great mentally.
My was gone through the help of a herbal doctor he can also help you @drosemuahu3477
Thank you so much for your very helpful and insightful instruction! I was diagnosed with PsA several years ago but have never had the skin lesions. Of course, now that I’m on remicade and MTX, I probably, hopefully, will never have those lesions. I do try to exercise every day and I can attest to it’s effectiveness in decreasing pain.
I also have PsA and never had lesions. Could not agree more with how much exercise helps my pain levels.
Those medications are quite toxic… I just read them up and scary side effect. Be safe and be aware of taking this long term.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️ 🌞🌞🌞

Morning!
I have psoriasis in my face and scalp that comes every winter (From Norway, little sun) Doctor just say "Take this cream"... I'm 2 weeks into carnivore diet and seeing improvements.
Thank for your video 👍 very good explanation 👏 ❤
I have been dealing with it now for a couple of months. I have two types of psoriasis and I have never had a breakout in my life until then. I am 45. I am struggling mentally and I cry nearly every day. It is so depressing. But I know stress also triggers flare-ups. It makes me not want to go out because people who's there. I am struggling quite a bit. I hope to begin some sort of oral medication next week at my dermatology appointment follow up.
How are you now, any better?
After having some success with a Vitamin D cream, and recognizing that a few minutes in a tanning bed every week helped so much ( I can not recommend that☝️).. I decided to try a Vitamin D3 supplement, and my psoriasis cleared!! It was so quick there was no doubt the association.🤯 My dermatologist was impressed.
Now, I had very mild plaque psoriasis.. I obviously don't know if this would benefit those with severe cases, but I figure it's a pretty cheap and risk-free thing to try? (as long as you don't get stupid and take half the bottle full everyday.🙄. Recommended doses people😉)
Hope this helps someone else.
No recommendations for soaps, creams or anything like that?
Dr Dray, what is your opinion on biological treatment for psoriasis?
Just started this whole journey about 2 yrs ago (68 yo) I have found that it's directly related to my intake of wheat. Never had a problem before....also what about smoking cannabis?
Thank you so much for this informative video. I’m a primary care doc and psoriasis patient for > 35 years. My skin flared badly with stress - pretty bad during my training years and first years in practice. Biologics have been a wonderful treatment for me - but so expensive for many patients. Thank you for highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle and having a primary care doctor to help if needed. The lifestyle recommendations in the video are important for everyone - especially if you have a chronic illness. Thanks Dr. Dray!
You're a primary care doctor and needed this video to help you? Nothing in this video was new information and is pretty basic for anyone that has had Psoriasis for a long time.
@@Resist4 When I watched your video, what really struck me was your advice to have a primary care doctor be involved in their psoriasis care. Many people think they can forgo that important lifestyle piece and go straight to a specialist just to get a prescription. I primarily wanted to support and thank you for this advice for all psoriasis patients. (It was not new info for me.)
@@krcal3020 It's not my video.
Hi, could you please consider doing a video about perioral dermatitis and how to heal it? It's very stubborn condition.
Can anybody give me names of medications which can help symptoms.
Thanks in advance.
You got it?
Or still finding?
Hi Dr. Dray, do you think accutane can have any effect (either positive or negative) on psoriasis?
Thank you!!
DrDray, me and my family just watched “game changer,” a documentary on Netflix, about nutrition and plant-based protein and the meat industry sharing miss information through advertisements geared towards men and manliness associated with eating meat. The documentary covered Pro athletes and plant based diets, it covered bio chemistry and nutrition, it really didn’t get into veganism culture or the animal cruelty or anything like that. But my family and I who happily eat meat, who happily eat fruits and vegetables and whole foods, it has us all convinced that we need to give a plant-based diet a try. Anyway, just wondering if you had heard of it and if not I highly highly recommend. I think you’d find it very interesting.
Sorry, just another thought, the documentary talks about the comparison of eating plant-based protein versus animal-based protein, comparative studies between different people, the phenomenal reserves of energy pro athletes had after switching etc. Olympic athletes, ultramarathon participants, some of our world record breaking athletes accomplished huge gains after switching to plant-based.
When you hear the phrase strong as an ox, what does an ox eat? Plants. 🙂
Information like that will also be flawed and biased as everyone as an agenda. They don't tell you about antinutrients in plants and grains since we don't cook like they do in the olden days anymore.
We also sometimes can't get the same nutrients from plants as animals can, so There's no point saying let's go to the source.
I have never heard meat eating being suggested as being manly. Both sides always make strange claims when they're trying to outdo each other.
@@daisiesandpandas1218 well if you have an hour and a half, and if you have access to Netflix, check out the documentary and then if you still would like to have a conversation on the subject, let’s talk. I think you’ll find that it really doesn’t have an agenda, it’s pretty science-based and directly addresses the fact that much of what we believe about nutrition has been fed to us by those with agendas. It was really well-made and entertaining to watch. There is no way I could do it any justice discussing it on the comment thread of a TH-cam video.
Hi Dr Dray! Hope you are well! Does this condition run in families? Am I at higher risk if a relative has psoriasis!
Yes it does. My rheumatologist said since I have psoriatic arthritis my kids are at risk. One of my sons has severe psoriasis
@@simplymarisa8 I’m sorry you and your son have this issue. Hope you are both doing ok. 💕
Great video!!!
Hey Dr Dray! Thank you for the video. Do you recommend any body cream to psoriasis? For my legs…
Could you do a video on an allergic reaction to acrylates? Specifically gel nails containing HEMA. I've developed a horrible allergy to it and now my nails are cracked, dry and the skin is peeling around the nail. Thank you so much!
Love the tips mentioned in the video. Very helpful! Do you have any suggestions as far as ointments that you recommend? I’m currently using something called “psoriasis honey”. It helps but I’m open to other suggestions.

Hi Dr Dray! Does smoking marijuana affect psoriasis like smoking tobacco? Thank you for all this helpful information!! Love your channel 😁
Smoking is harmful regardless of the substance.
@@TheEvanesarah She said marijuana that could be medical you can't be so judgemental.
@@jin8339 Smoking anything (combustion of plant material) has deleterious effects on the body because of the carcinogens produced with combustion of the material. Vaporization of the cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis is a very different story, and can have beneficial effects on the body via the endocannabinoid system.
@@jin8339 Dr dray answered this before on her ig and said the same thing. I didn't say anything about marijuana. You could technically consume it a different way other than smoking.
@@TheEvanesarah
My comment keep disappearing like 5 times. Look at American cancer society on topic of cancer and marijuana link which I tried to link but my comment keep disappearing.
You can take 2 ways which is edible and smoke. Both acceptable due to studies and research. Not one is wrong to another but depending on situation.
But nevertheless the main question is smoking marijuana has any 'impact' on psoriasis ?
