I Would Like To Know If Anyone Having Plaque Psoriasis Has Ever Been Tested To See If They Also Have A Staph Infection Also?

Dr. Madalene Heng treats psoriasis with antibiotics considering that this disease is produced by a bacterial superinfection. I have read that she has good results.

Over the years I learned that we are our own best advocate in the doctor’s office. Make sure you ask questions and make your concerns known. Don’t allow yourself to become “the next patient on the schedule.”

Hey Marie, please remember to tell any doctor you see for any reason, about your allergies.
Sometimes, some doctors don't bother, unfortunately.
Sending hugs.

Hi Marie. When I was a kid I had psoriasis that ended up with a staph infection. The psoriasis was on the backs of my legs and buttocks and the doctor said I got it because my skin was cracked open and I sat on a contaminated toilet seat at school. I got a steroid injection and ended up with side effects. I’m sensitive or allergic to a lot of medicines.
