PSORIASIS AND MENOPAUSE
Posted Tue 3 Jan 2023 17.45 by VARSHA P
Having psoriasis since last 30 years. Using Tacrolimus at the moment. But since last 2 to 3 months flare ups are more over the whole body due to Pre menopause.
Has anybody experienced this and if yes then what have you done please.
Because applying ointment all over the body does not seem right. Even though I have to do that.
Please suggestion would be helpful.

Hello. Psoriasis for 35, psoriatic arthritis suspected 6 years, diagnosis one year
Hi. Mine also flared badly with the start of the menopause. You may want to consider either the UVB light therapy that treats your whole body or systemic meds like methotrexate. Good luck.

Hi Mandy
Still not done blood test for Menopause. Just home testing as my periods irregular.
Going to see gp next week. At the moment doing diet control.
No sugar no caffeine. Trying to drink lots of water and green tea.
Considering to take Hrt as I have heard it will help psoriasis symptoms.
All the best as I guess it's going to bumpy ride ahead.
