« on: April 18, 2006, 07:33:17 PM »
 Hi all,
Just found this site,great can discuss things, thought I was the only one with PPP,(on palms)
started 5 months ago,have had numerous creams and lotions on 3rd lot of Antibiotics, to no avail, lots of blood tests. going to have light treatment in 3 months.
How do you put up with the continuing itching , burning and bleeding ???
Also the Doctor said it's because I smoke???
Thanks for this site

Hello and welcome along

 :)

Unfortunately, there is a definite link between smoking and PPP  :(  I am sure you smoking didn't cause it, but smoking can make it a lot, lot worse....you may well find not smoking helps (as well as being good for your health generally).

 ::)

There are a few threads on PPP in the forums....

Dave does, as usual, a great write-up on smoking and psoriasis:
