I do still smoke on occasion(fuck knows why) but I don’t drink. I do need to kick the sugar habit tho.
These are the two worst culprits in my experience, I've an uncle who has really awful psoriasis and he's an old school, five sugars in his tea, smoking rollies all day sort of character who is more than fond of a feed of beers and whiskey... doing himself absolutely no favours :(
Try and steer clear of the smokes if you can! Be good to yourself also, stress is terrible for flare ups I find.

Soo, diet-wise I’m vegan. Ditching dairy 2yrs ago made a huge difference(large areas on arms compared to a few spots smaller than 5p coin after).

I know full well I’m not in as bad a shape as many people out there but I feel over the last year new tattoos have been slower to heal and am getting patches on ankles and feet for the first time.
Only seen gp so far, a bit of casual googling would imply I wouldn’t qualify for many nhs treatments as my coverage is currently below 3%. Personally I’d rather avoid the uv treatments as a lot of anecdotal evidence I’ve read suggests it’s not really worth it.
I’d love to move somewhere sunny but that can wait.
Do gps refer to dermatologists easily enough and if so is there anyone in London who’s name is worth dropping as an expert?(will start researching now)
It’s not so bad in the grand scheme of things(aside from the dandruff) but it’s really pissed me off this year and the topicals aren’t really cutting it this time.
