Skin improvement post Phuket

   Sometimes you just don't know what makes the skin improve or flare up. As for me, it's been 7 weeks post Phuket (with the massive flare due to sunburn), I've started applying Elomet ointment daily for a week, and I had some bird nest here and there.

   Skin seems to be improving again, especially the arms. Fingers crossed this keeps up as I just bought a new dress for an important wedding coming up this weekend! I'm broke :(

  Those of you who have the extra money to spare, perhaps birdnest can be your next option? Not sure if it actually helps the psoriasis but my face certainly looks more radiant and fresh!

  Keep your spirit up, don't less psoriasis bring you down. After all, you are not alone :)

Sun is bad for my skin!

   I've recently returned from a trip to Phuket with my other half and his staff. The food, hotel Amari and island hopping are all great! Have you ever tried 'sea walking'? It's a little touristy but if you're not a diver, this is quite fun. Basically you are brought to the bottom of the ocean and you get to walk around and feed some fish. :) Here are some random shots of Phuket.

A storm is coming! View from hotel.

   The not so good part, even though I put on plenty of sunscreen and didn't baked myself, I came back with massive sunburn and psoriasis flared really badly! It's been 3 weeks now and still no signs of improvement :(

   Future trips should be to cold country. I will avoid sun.
