First off, i´m not a doctor but i can tell you from experience that once I started treating my type 2 hypothyroidism (something many doctors think does not exist), my severe psoriasis basically has gone away. I had patches on my feet, knees, wrists and head. It´s all just about gone. So if you have psoriasis you may want to have a rigorous test of your thyroid hormones.
