Hello Joyce,
Welcome to Psoriasisclub.
We are a friendly bunch of psoriasis sufferers, supporting each other with advice, sharing and wit.
I don't know exactly what you mean by a strep throat, I am Dutch, so sometimes I have to do research on the English terms they use over here.
But if you mean that you have a streptocokken infection, then I partly know what you mean.
Personally I don't have had them, but maybe others on the forum have had them.
There is research available that shows that streptococcus infections may be a (or even the) trigger for Psoriasis. The American scientist Lida Mattman has done quite some research on that.
What to do about it?
Well that is difficult to say. Vitamin D certainly is a moderator, so the tanning bed could be of help.
Anyway, others will jump in.
I hope you will enjoy the forum.
Caroline.
