Psoriasis can flare up with diabetes, thyroid issues, and stress. Itching on face, legs, and forehead may be part of the condition. Keep skin moisturized and avoid harsh soaps. Check sugar and thyroid level imbalances can worsen itching. A skin doctor can suggest safe creams or treatment. Visit the doctor for consultation and further checks.

Question

My mother has had thyroid issues for a long time and she takes her medicine regularly. She works a lot at home but is still unable to reduce her weight. She has rheumatoid arthritis and because of it, she is unable to do exercise or any extra outdoor activity to reduce weight. Painkillers have side effects on her, so she is now taking Ayurvedic medicines for pain relief. Recently, I had her general health test done through 1mg. Her thyroid was slightly high and her WBC count was elevated, but not to the extent that needs immediate medical attention. She is coping well, but there are some gaps in her healthcare. She has visited different doctors, but things are still not improving. I am unable to find a correct doctor for her so that we can take proper care of her health?
