Nope. I don't think the paint is the problem at all. The paint is outside
and he was good to keep most of the windows covered although he did keep one
open so we could get air in. The paint these days doesn't seem to have much
of a smell to it.

Given the areas that swelled up, I am inclined to think that it was caused
by something topical that I was using to treat the psoriasis between my
eyes. With it being so hot, anything I put on there was immediately melting
and running into my eyes. I have a bin of products sitting here by my desk,
none of which helped me and most of which only made the psoriasis worse.

I am not alone with this problem. The Dr. who saw me for the follow-up,
showed me his neck under his collar. He had three spots just like mine. He
goes to the same Dermatologist. Nothing is helping him either. Seems some
things will soothe it but not make it go away. It just has to do that on
its own.

If you'll notice those stupid ads for lasers and new psoriasis treatments,
they always give some percentage that it has cleared up on some people such
as 46% improvement in 4 months. Sheesh. Normally mine will clear on its
own in 4 months or less. Seems to me that the treatments are rather
worthless.
