Speaking as someone who is overweight, I do know it doesn't help with certain conditions. Arthritis is one, when you're overweight your weightbearing joints in particular are burdened by extra weight and so it makes sense that losing weight could help. Also diabetes has long been associated with weight.
Psoriasis.... I mean I was slightly overweight when I was diagnosed, and now I'm more overweight but I can't really understand what one would have to do with the other. I understand that a lot of things correlate to each other, back to diabetes - sugar can effect both being diabetic and being overweight but I'm curious what the connection would be between weight and psoriasis. I understand that any health condition can affect another health condition but curious as to if there is a specific area when it comes to weight and psoriasis.
Back to treatment, I would think if things were only slightly worse then I'd keep an eye on it but if things continue to get worse then definitely contact your doctor. Even if you are uncomfortable or just concerned, I'd contact your doctor.
Hope you see results heading in the right direction soon!
