Anyone have psoriasis?

i have within the last year been diagnosed with psoriasis, luckily just at the scalp on the back of my neck. Now since my BFP it is starting to appear down my neck too. I hadn't gone to a dermatologist yet, but I'm not sure I can put up with all this itching!

    I have been dealing with it on my scalp, too, ugh. For me, blow drying my hair after a shower is a must. I also just switched to a natural shampoo that seems to be okay. Before pregnancy I was managing with tgel. I would def check with your derm if it's really uncomfortable. Good luck!!

    The thing is I don't even have a dermatologist! I stopped using tgel when I suspected pregnancy as my primary told me that can stop a newborn's heart. He did say to use Selson Blue so I may give that a try. I will talk to my ONGYN too but I don't see her until Aug 14.

    For me it got better during the middle of my pregnancy , it didn't come back until I stopped breastfeeding. Staying hydrated helps me too, not much I can do right now other than keeping my body and skin hydrated

    I have had psoriasis for almost 20 years now. If it's getting uncomfortable I would absolutely talk to a dermo. I have been on a prescription topical steroid cream for the past 5-6 years or so and my doc said its ok to use during pregnancy very sparingly (1-2x/wk) but my skin may improve naturally from pregnancy hormones-and so far she has been right! But a dermo may be able to prescribe you a "fetus-friendly" medicine that's more effective (and smells better!) than t-gel.
