Pregnant and psoriasis

Posted Mon 30 Apr 2018 21.28 by Hayliejj

Hi, New to the forum so hoping posted on correct page. I have been on humira for roughly 5 years for my psoriasis, it works well dispite the odd flare up on my hands and legs. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and come off the humira around 9-10 weeks pregnant because it was bringing my platlet count down an awful lot. My consultant said I could of carries on with it till 14 weeks pregnant but I never. For weeks on end my skin has been fabulous not a blemish. I get psoriasis quite bad on the top of my hands. Round ankles, legs. Feet and scalp. I’ve noticed the past few weeks it’s creeping back with vengeance :-( im only on moisturiser at the moment due to being pregnant. So my question is has anyone been pregnant and had a flare up?? What did u use to make it manageable ( if you could) any other tips on diet/ vitamins or any natural remedy? I’m taking vitamin D at the moment and going to start taking omega 3. If anyone has any tips that would be fantastic 😁 thanks
