This is about Guttate Psoriasis. I was covered from face to ankle.
Disclaimer:
1. what I did may not be recommended, particularly in your situation.
2. Steroid cream + sun = hyperpigmentation 😑
I don’t want to unnecessary explain; so this is the TL;DR version.
- I had Gutatte psoriasis for a year.
- The only remedies that prevented the spots from getting inflamed was using a steroid cream and going 100% vegan.
— (I used to eat fast food 1-2 / week)
- I applied steroid cream only on the spots... like a cheetah.
- I got hyperpigmentation on the spots... like a cheetah 😭
- Ritual of steroid cream + strict diet: 9-11 months.
Sunlight “therapy”
— Laying on the rooftop at the peak of summer, at the hottest time of day.
— 5- 10 mins per side
Results:
- Usually, the psoriasis symptoms were the worst at nighttime. However, the night after my first Sun session, the spots were less inflamed and the itch was bearable.
- I think: if I didn’t act so extreme and lay out at the peak of sunlight, I may have prevented hyperpigmentation.
- I think: If I didn’t put steroid cream in a cheetah pattern, I wouldn’t realize I had hyperpigmentation. (Appearance-wise. Hyperpigmentation is due to sun damage)
- My psoriasis started from my face and worked down. After several weeks, my face and arms cleared up.
— In hindsight, it’s probably because of the daily exposed to sunlight. Moderate sunlight, over a period of time.
- I didn’t get hyperpigmentation in my face or arms.
- Hyperpigmentation showed itself, during the following summer and lasted a few months.
