Hopefully this isn't considered off topic. I have psoriasis around my mouth, nose, cheeks and top of my head. I haven't been to the doctor about it because until about a year ago it wasn't a big concern for me. Now it has spread to the point that a goatee doesn't hide the majority of it.
In terms diet I have noticed a strong correlation between beer consumption and a strong flare up. For non-beer wheat products, I can't see the relationship as clearly. I am not a fan of breads and pastas so I don't eat a lot of wheat products and most of what I eat is minimally processed so I doubt I get much hidden gluten in my diet. Yesterday I had a 7 oz bottle of RIS and my face is painful today. I also had a small oat cookie my wife had made. Todays condition seems a bit extreme considering it wasn't much beer or wheat product.
Next week I have a doctors appointment and am requesting a gluten sensitivity test. I really don't care as much about eliminating the symptoms as I do eliminating the root cause. Most creams and washes I have tried didn't work anyways. I was curious if there are any others with psoriasis and their experiances with it.
