Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, so trying random creams can sometimes trigger a severe flare-up. Please consult a qualified dermatologist to get a proper prescription. It is much safer to get a professional diagnosis early.

Since I manage diabetes, I know how systemic inflammation affects the skin. Cutting out highly processed foods and sugar helped me reduce overall inflammation, which kept my psoriasis patches under control. Focus on a clean, simple diet.

I recently noticed dry, red patches on my elbows and I am very scared that they will spread to my face. Does keeping the skin constantly moisturized with virgin coconut oil help prevent it from spreading further?

Make sure you do not scratch or peel the dry skin, as any trauma to the skin can cause new patches to form there—this is called the Koebner phenomenon. Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer right after your bath to lock in moisture.
