For those who have Psoriasis....?

Do you have other symptoms as well? I know Psoriasis could be or is an autoimmune disease.

I have this symptoms that comes and go....my salivary glands (the one that is in front, below, and behind the ear swells out kinda making the ears protrude out some and there's no pain)....do you guys get this?

I think your swelling is another issue altogether. I never had any type of swelling like that. As far as psoriasis being auto immune, generally you are going to experience arthritis symptoms in addition to the skin issues. Talk to a dermatologist, general practitioners do not generally have a good grasp on skin disorders.

If u eat 3 hot peppers a day it maintains this diesease! Also use dead sea salt!

Get checked for Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative
Colitis.
Also have blood work done to check your
hemoglobin count and sed rate.
Many auto-immune diseases present with psoriasis.
Remicade is a current treatment for this skin disease,
but the infusions are very expensive.
