I was actually on a high dose of Vitamin D when I was first diagnosed with psoriasis. My doctor is a firm believer in Vit D for overall health, however he never mentioned it in regards to psoriasis.
I personally do not think that Vitamin D has helped with my psoriasis as I have come off of it and been back on it and never noticed any difference honestly. But we are all different and what helps some doesn't always help others. I will say keeping your Vitamin D in the healthy range won't hurt.
So I would have your doctor check your levels and then add a supplement if you are low. I WOULD NOT just start taking Vit D without seeing if I needed it first though.
If you haven't been to a dermatologist, I would suggest that as a first move. GP's are great but often don't know the best treatments for psoriasis.
And welcome! It's a great group here with lots of information.
