Diary of Psoriasis: My Experience Tracker Pt.1

By: Kori McKenna

In this photo, if you look closely, you can see my hairline has "snowflakes."

This is the first time I have talked about my battle journey with psoriasis, eczema, and similar skin conditions. My first struggle with skin conditions started with scalp psoriasis when I was a child. I also had many skin rashes growing up. Now I am in my mid 20's, and I have scalp psoriasis, rashes, and eczema.

When I went to the doctor as a child, they gave me Head and Shoulder shampoo, which did not keep my scalp psoriasis at bay. Sometimes my scalp would go into remission, but that is a rare occasion that comes and goes. There is no cure for psoriasis.

Recently I went to the doctor as a young adult(Age 23), and they prescribed me three topical medications. The doctor says I have Seboherroic Dermatitis on the front of my scalp, face, and inside my ears; then I have plaques of psoriasis on the sides and back of my scalp and around the ears. I also have nail psoriasis.

The three medications prescribed were:

Betamethasone for Nail Psoriasis

Triamcinolone Acetonide for Scalp Psoriasis

Selenium Sulfide Shampoo for Sebherroic Dermatitis on the front of my head.

See what happens next! While these medications did work if used daily, I decided I didn't want to take medicines that don't cure the problem. Follow me on my journey to reveal more of my story and organic natural home remedies I use and test on my skin conditions!

I will end Pt.1 right here & I will see you for many more parts to come.
