NPF: @MarieBeSure Sorry to hear! Try putting your medicine on your hands & cover them w/ Saran wrap when sleeping.

NPF: @MarieBeSure So sorry! Can't believe the ignorant comments we hear from people. You (and your skin) are beautiful!

NPF: You have the right to change doctors or pharmacies, ask for 2nd opinion & to comparison-shop for over-the-counter products. #psoriasis

NPF: @andrewtuck77 Not a medical dermatologist or psoriasis researcher. Certain anti-inflammatory diets can help but there is no scientific proof

NPF: @andrewtuck77 Because there is no scientific proof or long-term data that shows diet improves psoriasis. Dr. Pagano is a chiropractor
