People with Psoriasis do have more comorbidiy risks than people who are healthy. It is not clear why this is so, but it seems to be. My doctor over here in NL is very keen on it.
So there is always the risk of getting 'something' extra. Which basically gives me an inconvenient feeling.
Why? Well they don’t know. Is it because you have an auto immune disease ? And does that trigger comorbities? Or is it because of the medication? I heard yesterday of someone using a cetain medication that gives him lower white blood cell's, that the dermatologist said that he should come off the medication because of that, but that the oncology doctor said to say on the medication as it was cancer reducing.
So it may very well be that medication to lower the auto immune activity of your body, will also lower the risk of cancer.
But again, no research on that is available as the bio's are still young.
