"Had an erythrodermic flare from usual 20-25% plaque coverage (which is gone) 7 weeks ago. Red & flaking from top of my head to tops of my feet. (2nd such flare in 25 yrs). My derm Dr prescribed 25 mg soriatane daily; GP prescribed lipitor (20 mgs) for cholesterol/liver. Now almost clear on face, legs & torso tho lips are still peeling (apply Aquaphor several times/day), some flaking on arms; redness subsiding esp. on face. Feet & hands exhibited worst swelling & still somewhat red. Fingertips peeling - use mineral oil at night w/ cloth gloves. Soaking bath (@least 1 hr) in oatmeal every other day w/ Aquaphor after lite towel dry to reduce flaking. 14 oz water 6x & bottle of Gatorade daily; 1000 mgs of D3 at night. Use cough lozenges for dry throat."
