Psoriasis + KPV

[birdwhacker]

We have KPV on the way, I'm hoping it helps my skin issues. Let me know if you hear anything.

Maybe mine is psoriasis? I honestly don't know. My face just gets crusty sometimes and the only thing for it is religious moisturization. Blowdrying and ketoconazole shampoo fixed the problem at the scalp, but my face still gets flaky sometimes.

I really don't like it. It looks very unbecoming and ruins my self esteem when I let it get bad.

Glad I saw this post

My RS is on low dose Reta and saw modest impact on scalp psoriasis 3 months in. In 4th month, added klow, went through a vial. Skin got better and saw modest progress again. Started 1mg kpv mixed with 2.5mg GhkCU last 2 weeks and the flares just stopped completely. I’m going to run this for another week before lowering the dose.

Interested in sourcing TA1 as well, trying to find it in a us warehouse

Added TA1 and Ss31 for 2 weeks, 1 month ago - no flares since then. Paused all peps except Reta.

AI generated Strategy: Why these two?

• TA1 (Thymosin Alpha-1): This is the "peacekeeper." Psoriasis is a failure of T-regulatory (Treg) cells. TA1 helps the body produce more Tregs, which tell the aggressive T-cells to stop attacking the scalp. This is exactly what she needs to stop the "rebound itch."

• SS-31 (Elamipretide): Even at a low 2mg dose, SS-31 stabilizes the mitochondria in her skin cells. This reduces the "danger signals" (ROS) that keep the immune system in a state of alarm. It also protects her cells from the high metabolic demand of the Retatrutide.

I have psoriasis of the palms. I injected KVP subcutaneously 500mcg per day. Everything got worse. The itching is unbearable. and the redness and peeling got worse.

So after a week I stopped.

Then I tried mixing KVP with my hand cream. (2 mg/2 grams of cream).

this also did not help.

All that helped me improve the situation was an infrared lamp every 2 days. I applied it for 3 minutes.

Uv light works wonders for psoriasis! Tanning bed once a week in winter. Lay out by the pool in the summer.

This. And if you don't have access to the sun or a tanning bed, you can get yourself a UV-B light bulb for $10. It's called a lizard light because it's intended for reptile enclosures. Works great for spot-treating. Make sure it's UV-B, not UV-A.
