Ok, so I just had my last shot of Amevive today...not like I think it has anything to do with this, but just thought I'd throw that in there. ;)

Anyway!! So all of you who know stuff about psoriasis know that it always gets worse in the cold weather. Lately the temp's been changing, so obviously all of us psoriasis patients are gonna get at least a little bit of a setback. Anyway, so it was really hurting today, so tonight, after I put on my DermaSmoothe, I put on Vaseline...but when I did, it was like my psoriasis looked redder & even like it was swollen or raised up above the rest of my skin...and I don't just mean flaky or flat either! (the rest of my psoriasis is F&F like that, and it rarely itches...lucky me lol) but my mom has psoriasis & eczema & I know she said that Vaseline will take a few minutes, but it will get rid of the pain. But I've never known (or at least don't recall) psoriasis looking darker, being MORE painful, & looking all swollen like that right after putting on Vaseline!!!

Is that normal? =/ anything I could do about it?
