Here I am with my story of psoriasis which started about 15 years ago, or I can say that it actually started about 20 years ago when I got TMJ in the left side of my jaw. My story is as follows:

After college, when I was searching for my right path of life, I started working with a company, where I had to deal with pesticides on living plants. I can remember well that the first symptoms of psoriasis came up on the left upper side front of my scalp. At that time, it didn’t resemble psoriasis; it was just like a common infection like scabs and sores.

But, what is the reason behind it? There is no genetical history of having psoriasis in my family. Yes, there were three things happening in my life can cause this. These are:

1. I was very depressed at that time as my girlfriend and I were in the midst of breaking up.

2. I was trying natural and organic products. I went to the store and bought Nature’s Gate Rainforest shampoo, and the day after using that, the irritation started.

3. The place where I was working had need of having pesticides sprayed. I had to be in that environment without enough protection.

Of the above reasons, I consider the no 2 as most effective cause, though no one can be sure which contributed the most.

In early stage, I just used to scratch at my scalp in the shower. I knew it was not the best solution and I needed medical treatment. I went to the doctor and it was diagnosed as psoriasis. I was given Dovonex Solution and Dovonex Cream. I started to get psoriasis on my left elbow. Another doctor gave me steroids. After that I went through many medical, herbal and other treatments.

So, now it is about 12 years later from the start of my psoriasis. Sometimes it has been unbearable.
