A friend of mine was diagnosed with the same type of psoriasis as I was and was also doing the light treatments with the same doctor. She'd just started when she became ill with something else and was put on a general antibiotic by her general physician. Within 3-4 days, her hands healed up completely and stopped peeling. At 2 weeks, she finished the antibiotic (Amoxicillin) and the psoriasis came back with a vengeance...
Has anyone ever been treated for this with antibiotics? Any successes? I'd be concerned about taking that for any long term but it was interesting to see the quick change in her condition. She is going back to her doctor to ask for a refill of the antibiotic to retest and see if it stops the psoriasis again before returning to light treatments again.
