Hello everyone,

Can anyone tell me if pre-existing conditions such as psoriasis and eczema resolve after WLS?

I am 15 weeks out and have not had any outbreaks yet and usually I have it on multiple spots at this time if year!!

What's your diet like...I know red meat,shellfish and artificial flavors can exasperate the condition.

@Lisa sorry to hear that your psoriasis has resolved ...

The surgery did not improve my eczema.

Although there are many who claim that there is a link between obesity and psoriasis....there really is no clinical evidence to prove the theory. There are arguments, however, that obesity exacerbates the problem and this could be due to a number of reasons.

I had eczema as a child and was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 19 (I'm 43 now). I did not have weight issues as a child or young adult....I became overweight after the birth of my son when I was 26. My psoriasis has remained pretty consistent throughout my life. It's fairly clear during the summer when I get more sun and flares up more during the winter when it's cold and dry. I've also tried diets where I've excluded certain foods with no success.

I've finally come to the point in my life where I'm okay with it....afterall, things could be worse!!! I've figured out how to manage it fairly well and when that doesn't work anymore....I'll try something else

Sorry, but my psoriasis (scalp, back, legs) has not really gotten any better.

I was loping forward to hearing some good news are magical resolution after WLS....I hate this condition my scalp elbows,and legs...I have lost all my hair at the middle I wear wigs, weaves to cover up my forehead...smh no luck her with with diets,home remedies and meds....

Unfortunately, psoriasis is a life long condition (I hate to call it a disease). I can actually tolerate it on my arms and legs....it's my scalp that just drives me nuts!!! When it's not under control I feel like I'm snowing all over....and I live in Southern CA!!!!

I've finally found a combo that works well!!!....clobetasol/zinc spray (it's a compound) and Tarsum shampoo. I only use the spray a couple of times a week to keep myself clear and the Tarsum is a full strength coal tar shampoo that you apply about an hour before showering. It can be purchased for about $25 on Amazon. I only use it every other time I wash my hair.

My psoriasis is on my scalp. It hasn't gotten any better.

Thank you for the suggestions of clobetasol/zinc spray and Tarsum shampoo. I just ordered them and look forward to some relief. Thank you!

My father was very overweight and lost over 100 pounds using weight watchers. He also takes so many vitamins that he has his own drawer for them. His psoriasis on his elbows has completely vanished, and he claims it's the vitamin E pills and the biotin he takes. But I think he might just be a miracle case

I'm going to purchase it as well...My scalp is, terrible I have ever lost my hairline. My hair is course it get brittle,dry and brakes ...at times it can be overwhelming....Thanks for the feedback ...

I had moderate eczema on my arms and a few scaly patches on my forhead and neck, all were gone about 6 months post surgery. My arms were rough and bumpy, now they are smooth. It just goes to show how differently we react to the surgery, in part by the change of diet and if the diet was a significant factor to our skin conditions.
