Back to therapy today.
Not much to report. Scalp still had a little "peeling" from the burn, but other than that things have healed up nicely. I was worried that the skin damage might cause me to have a flare, but I could tell some of the scaling was actually more scabby and the peeling was a sunburn type peel of thin strips and of course there was still some scaling from psoriasis, but after all this time I could differentiate between the "3" and the psoriasis does not seem to be worse than it was so that's good news.
She lowered the strength of the laser due to the burn and also going one week without therapy, but I'd rather be safe than get another burn. I will say that due to psoriasis plus the "healing" I have been itchy this week and after my treatment today, I feel less so. I noticed before that after the first few times the itchiness was less so I hope that indicates it's working.
It will be a few weeks before I can probably give any more information than I have already. The burn issue threw things off a bit but I should know soon if it's really helping or not. And I guess it's obvious by this post that I have chosen to continue (at least for now)
