My husband has a really bad case of psoriasis. He is 50 years old. It started at age 18 on his knees and elbows and has gotten progressively worse. He has patches which become raw and bleed all over except for his face. The affected areas shed large flakes of skin. It's better in the warm moist weather and worse in the winter because it cracks and bleeds. He's likes the fall season the best. He loves hot, spicy foods. He also likes salads with a lot of vinegar. He's about 25 lbs overweight after giving up smoking about 9 years ago. His family has a history of eczema and one brother has crohn's disease. He is half Italian and has olive colored skin. He drinks a few beers or scotch daily. He's short tempered and over reacts very easily. Has very little patience. Sometimes his blood pressure reads high when tested. He hates to sit still and usually likes to stand or walk around at social functions. Has to have the window and ceiling fan on at home; usually feels that it is too stuffy. He mentions no fears. A couple of years ago the homeopath treated him with sulfur and nux vomica. It showed some results initially but then wore off. We would truly appreciate all suggestions.

Best regards,
Sue K
