I truly empathize with you. What you described is just what I went through. My psoriasis started in my scalp and moved through much of my body over the years. You need to get a good dermatologist to help you manage the psoriasis. Whatever you do, do not pick on the psoriasis flakes in the […]
Psoriasis does not move, so it stays where ever it originally was (in the donor area in your example) and will not be transplanted to the recipient area. The psoriasis needs to be under good control if one is to use the skin from impacted areas for the donor site. One could be selective where […]
Psoriasis is best treated by a dermatologist. There are many degrees to Psoriasis.
