Dealing with Psoriasis

First sign
First it started like little dots but then they became bigger overnight. I went to the doctor and I got a cream which I needed to rub on the dots. The dots seemed to disappear at first but within a week they came back.

I went to the doctor and I just broke down and cried because of the psoriasis, I felt very uncomfortable and above all, the doctor said it would never go away. I was like "no this cannot be", first I have been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and now this. Instead of 1, I now have two challenges I have to face.

Some people report that consuming plants from the “nightshade family” — (peppers, white potatoes, eggplant, and tomatoes ) exacerbates their psoriasis. These vegetables contain solanine, which is a chemical compound. “Some people believe that if you avoid these vegetables, it will help to fight the symptoms,”
