About 7 years ago I got shingles from the waist down on my right side. As you all probably know, shingles attacks the nerve endings. What is interesting is that everywhere the shingles broke out that was already covered by psoriasis, the psoriasis is now gone (light brown discoloration). Almost like the shingles stopped the signal to stop producing extra skin cells in that area. My Dermatologist doesn't think much of it but I think that some research should go into this. I would say about 20% of my upper thigh no longer has psoriasis.
