Hello Yumm,
Welcome to the board. Hope you will find some useful information for sure that is plenty over here.
I don't have psoriasis guttate, but I do have the PsA like you. So I know your problems.
Medication can stop to work, because your body gets used to it, and learns to deal with it, as in get rid of it, as also medication is something that doesn't belong in your body.
So this may force you to step to other medication. You can talk this over with your derm.
It also may be that Guttate is not sensitive for humira, but needs something else. The so called MAB's, MonoclonalAntiBodies, one by one connect/block a specific receptor on your cells. For Guttate this may be another receptor than where Humira binds to.
And indeed it is known that bacteria, like streptocci, staphylococci, etc. do have influence on psoriasis. The infection goes away, but the DNA of the streptococci stays in your blood and is very difficult to get rid of.
Anyway, welcome, and have a good time over here with us.
Caroline
