Very careful sun exposure can help psoriasis, but may make the rosacea worse. My psoriasis improved with about 20 minutes of sun exposure daily, but I had to use a hat to shade my face due to rosacea
I have now switched to using Enbrel (injections I give myself once a week) and am very happy with it. My psoriasis is 90% gone. It is such a major relief!!!!!
No. The one has nothing to do with the other. Rosacea is due to blood flooding your surface blood vessels. Psoriasis has to do with skin shedding. And tanning has to do with damaging your skin in order to cause your body to produce melanin. If anything tanning will make it worse because it damages skin and makes it less able to heal itself.
Unlikely....and you may get skin cancer, as well as other unsightly spots (sun spots, for instance....which are usually associated w/older people, but I got one in the past year and I'm 25). Anyway, any benefits of tanning are miniscule compared to the damage.
No. Try drinking eight 8oz glasses of water, eating balanced meals. Stay away from too much sugar and white bread.
UV light (in moderation) will most likely help psoriasis.
I may also suggest the anti-psoriasis herbal cream from Champori.com : it works better than anything else for my plaque psor.
Best,
