Hi Shaidaw and a warm welcome to the Club 
.
This is the best place to be to get help with managing this wretched disease. I know a few people over the years have advocated diet to alleviate the symptoms and some do manage well using diet alone. I dont have that level of commitment though and to be honest I couldn't really put my finger on anything in particular that would cause a trigger. My disease was a slow unremitting development. Topical did nothing. UV helped but came back as soon as the treatments stopped and I have failed on Methotrexate, Acitretin an Cyclosporine. I am a month into Otezla and up to now (sshhhh, dont tell anyone) it looks like it might actually be working.
Enjoy your time on here and dont forget to sign up for the newsletter or while a few idle moments away in the off topic section. You will always be welcome.
