enbrel
are you saying they're giving you Enbrel only for psoriasis? you mean arthritic psoriasis? what were your symptoms/problems in the first place?
16 weeks after exposure I had a oral ulcer around the throat area i have had soft stools on and off for the last couple of years. I recently developed Guttate Psoriasis and eventually Psoriatic Arthritis. I have read that Guttate Psorias and Psoriatic Arthritis were some times pre cursors to AIDS pre Haart era, but my tests say I am negative 4 ELISA through 2 year period post exposure.
After doing a bit more research, I stumbled across a few websites that stated there is a correlation between streptococcal bacteria and a form of psoriasis, called guttate psoriasis. Have you ever heard of this? After looking into this form of psoriasis, it seemed rather fitting. The rash on my body did present itself as sporadic, circular dots with a bit of a white "crust". They never blistered, oozed, or bled. They were however, a bit itchy.
s one of the few powerful anti-psoriasis drugs on the market that is OK for the liver. Psoriasis and PA can flare significantly on treatment so that would not be the time to stop taking Enbrel. That said, Enbrel is an immunosupressive drug so its interaction with inteferon is still unknown and only one older study I'm aware (posted above) that has not been followed through.
I’ve had them for around a month. I live in Malawi, Southern Africa. At first I thought it was psoriasis, as I’ve had guttate psoriasis in the past, but now I don’t think so. It isn’t very itchy, and has spread a bit, but not markedly. The rash in my groin is red/orange colour and scaly/plaque-like, with lots of tiny red bumps and dots, while the one on my stomach is a small oval ring shape, with an outer edge that’s redder. Could it be ringworm or another fungal infection?
she put me on a steriod and it didnt work, put me on another and it didnt work, told me to go to a dermotologist. The dermotologist looked at it and immediate told me it was guttate psoriasis put me on minocycline and cream, the rash went away in a matter of day though I still have some scaring on my legs.

My sister has had the skin condition for about a week, and its on a lotion type medication for psoriasis. I just got the marks on my chest this morning, and also used the lotion, which so far has made no difference. I don't know when my sister's roommate got the spots on her face.
Does anyone have any type of idea on what the condition could be?
Hello,
Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis. There are many treatment options for psoriasis, chief ones being cognitive behavior therapy, creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone, fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues and retinoids and phototherapy and photochemotherapy. Psoriasis that is resistant to topical treatment and phototherapy is treated by medications that are taken internally by pill or injection.
m sick and no one believes me cause my symptoms are sweating, weakness, bad taste in mouth and stomach irritation and newly diagnoses guttate psoriasis. I never feel good anymore but my blood tests are fine. My body is attacking itself. I feel better and then whammo - start feeling really bad again. Think it might be something with my immune system cause of the psoriasis but I'm starting to think it must be my stomach. Had bariatric surgery 12 yrs ago.
In my research into psoriatic arthritis, I read there is a connection between strep and the psoriasis. Exerpt from National Psoriasis Foundation,
http://www.psoriasis.org/netcommunity/sublearn01_typesps, "Guttate psoriasis often comes on quite suddenly.
The cracks of skin I experience are usually surrounded by dry skin, and the last few times I have noticed there has been actual flaking to an extent. I was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis 2 years ago, and have always had dry skin, and flaking on my scalp. I am wondering if this is an extension of psoriasis? The cracked skin has stopped as of a month ago since I started applying small amounts of baby oil after my showers. I am concerned that 1. I am treating this wrong, 2.
m bleeding constantly i get quite painful cramps my hair is falling out like mad my eczema and psoriasis has flaired up terrible which is bad enough on its own as I have guttate psoriasis , it feels a lot like the later stages of pregnancy without the bump , has anyone else got this problem? Or any advice on what to do about it?
About a week after finishing the antibiotics, I broke out in a rash which turned out to be guttate psoriasis. Before seeing an expert about my skin I had the Dr.s test me for hiv (which was about a month after the unprotected sex) it came back negative, but I'm also aware that this may have been too soon. I was also told that I still had strep throat and was put on another round of antibiotics, which finally kicked it. My psoriasis cleared up as was predicted.
I have known I have had psoriasis for 12 years. Over the last 4 year the itching as well as the skin breakouts have gotten worse. I have been to see my dermatologist 2 times a week for the last 3 years. I have asked for something to releave the itching and the doctor gives me creams and drugs that make me sleepy and the creams do no releave the itching either.

Another possibility is guttate psoriasis which causes small, red, and scaly teardrop-shaped spots on the arms, legs, and middle of the body. Few other possibilities could be allergies, eczema, fungal infection etc. General measures to prevent excessive skin dryness like use of mild soapless cleansers may help. Frequent skin lubrication, use of over-the-counter moisturizers such as Cetaphil may provide some relief. Seek the opinion of a dermatologist. Treatment will depend on the cause.
I am not familiar with the treatment that has been recommended to you nor the drug Enbrel,.however for the rheumatologist to tell you it may cause relapse ,I would ask him to show you peer -.reviewed data stating that this drug may be causel of HCV in a patient that has been SVR for 3 years before I would put any weight in just his opinion
Again.. congrats and good luck with the condition you are fighting presently
