Holiday benefits
Posted Mon 2 Sep 2024 12.41 by brad@makingclubswork.com
Hi all
I’m back off holiday a couple of weeks and I wondered if anyone has had similar experience and/or knows what creates the benefit?
So I mainly ‘suffer’ with psoriasis on my elbows, back of upper arms and my back.
I’ve noticed a few times now when on holiday abroad the skin improves, with reduction in scaley-ness and become smooth and soft.
I’m wondering if this is down to:
a) daily sunshine exposure levels
b) daily religious application of sun cream and after sun
c) the fact that most swimming pools are ‘salt water’ rather than ‘chlorine’
d) general better hydration levels
e) increased sweating due to heat
Or of course anything else I’ve not thought of
Based on this I’m wondering if I can incorporate whatever it is into my at home regime… or do I need to emigrate 😂😂
Thanks all

When I first heard of psoriasis in 1969 (my older brother developed it), one of the recommended things was to get exposure to sunlight.
In 1980 I broke out in plaque psoriasis over my entire body during my final year at university. Within a few weeks of completing my final exams, my psoriasis reduced slightly - becoming less angry and less agresssively itchy.
I worked for 2 months then took a 3 week holiday in sun and swimming in the sea - my psoriasis reduced. Then I started a full time job in SE Asia and I got plenty of exposure to the sun. My psoriasis reduced still further.
I believe that reducing stress can help reduce psoriasis, alongh with exposure to sun (without burning), and exposure to the sea thanks to the minerals in seawater, not only salt.
Many people have taken holidays at resorts on the Dead Sea as thery claim repeated expose to the water helps skin conditions.

Hey.
Before you migrate, try changing your home or look for signs of "black mold" in your place. I have read in pages that some people were cleared of psoriasis by removing black mold from their houses. Meaning that black mold can be a trigger for some people.
