Plaque Psoriasis
"I have had psoriasis since I was six years old (I am 22 now). My worst area has always been my scalp and elbows, with it extending to my torso, back, and legs. Recently I have been under stress and I&#039;m overweight so my psoriasis is the worse it has ever been. My dermatologist decided on otezla. They warn you about the most common side effects: nausea and diarrhea. I experienced these symptoms within two days of starting the medication. I will say right away it started working, clearing my scalp first (which is the first area it tends to start working on). Now I am somebody who struggles with having diarrhea and can&#039;t deal with it emotionally. I had to stop the drug after only three weeks, which sucked because it was working amazing for me."
