Thanks!
The burn was annoying but not too bad comfort wise (as you know with psoriasis, we all know discomfort very well so maybe I've just gotten used to a certain amount of discomfort) I don't really have that sunburn feeling any longer, it's the after effects from my skin that I'm dealing with now. As those of you who know me know.... my mind is totally NOT scientific but if I had to make a guess it would be that taking someone who has an immune system issue where their skin cells want to replenish quickly and burning that skin.... well makes sense that the body is layering on the skin cells for protection. At least that is what "I think" may be happening. It isn't exactly an increase in psoriasis but it IS an increase in scales, at least THICK ones.
I would say that right now I do not itch quite as much even with the increased issue with skin from the "burn" Most of the skin tends to feel "rough and almost calloused" and I have the urge to try to scrap that skin off (which I AM resisting right now, plus should I attempt it then the area feels sore
) Throughout the scalp I feel scaling, both hard and soft so this is "different" than what I'm usually dealing with. This is day 3 so hopefully things will heal up soon and I'll have a better idea of where I am at the moment with scalp psoriasis. It's hard to say with everything currently going on. But I'm not uncomfortable, I have not been using anything right now but I do have a topical and of course coconut oil for moisturizing but I'm more just trying to see what my skin is going to do about it.
I'll see how it is on Monday and if it's not significantly improved then the laser therapy will be put on hold until it is. I'm not going to risk doing even more damage as that makes no sense to me. Even if it means we take steps backwards (as in start over with the strength) then it's on them anyway so they'll just have to deal with it. Anyway, I'll let you all know how it goes.
