My experience managing severe psoriasis symptoms and restoring my skin

I experienced symptoms of psoriasis with red rashes and scales on my hands and arms.

Through dermatological treatment and lifestyle adjustments, my psoriasis symptoms gradually improved.

Now, I am maintaining my psoriasis symptoms relatively stable through lifestyle management.

At first, small red spots appeared on the back of my hands.
At first, it was just light peeling and a little itchiness.
I just thought it was a temporary skin problem and didn't think much of it.
However, as time passes, the symptoms of psoriasis gradually expand and the keratin thickens.
I started to feel uncomfortable in my daily life.
Especially on days when you are very stressed or haven't slept well.
The spots and itchiness became more severe, and it became more than just a skin problem and affected my life.
At first, I tried covering it up with makeup, but my skin became sensitive and makeup didn't go on well.
I also lost confidence in my daily life.

I ended up going to a dermatologist and getting tested, and the doctor said
We checked the severity, location, and progression rate of psoriasis symptoms and presented a customized treatment plan.
He said that it is important to manage lifestyle habits in addition to using topical medications.
In particular, it is important to develop the habit of not scratching and thoroughly moisturizing.
I was advised that it is key to skin recovery and prevention of relapse.
At first, I was frustrated because I felt like the improvement was slow even after applying topical medication.
I realized that consistency is important.

During the first few weeks of treatment for psoriasis symptoms, there was no significant change.
Let's consistently apply medicine, maintain moisture, and manage our lifestyle habits.
I could feel the itchiness gradually decreasing and the dead skin cells becoming thinner.
In particular, stress management, sufficient sleep, and avoidance of stimulating foods are important.
I felt that it had a great impact on skin recovery.
In addition, I consistently use a light moisturizer and drink water.
I was also able to see changes in my skin, which was less red and more moisturized than before.

Currently, I check my skin condition periodically,
I am consistently practicing moisturizing, lifestyle management, and stress management.
It is difficult to completely eliminate psoriasis symptoms,
I have experienced that symptoms can be kept stable through management and prevention.
What I realized through this process is,
Skin diseases should not be treated with just medication alone.
The fact is that overall management, including lifestyle habits, stress, sleep, and nutrition, must be done together.
By consistently recording and managing even small changes
I can feel my skin recovering little by little.
Ultimately, I found that it was most helpful in relieving psoriasis symptoms and maintaining them long-term.
