Did your son get any help with his psoriasis? I have Crohn's and had a similar thing with psoriasis on my scalp a few years back. For me personally, the Body Shop's ginger shampoo really worked wonders and has kept the psoriasis at bay ever since. If you do try it make sure you double check its suitable first though.
I hope your son is doing okay.

Thank you for that advice Cher about ginger shampoo 😁
I have suffered psoriasis on my scalp for years on and off it used to get really infected and sore. I will definitely try that shampoo out. May I ask what crones disease is? I have been suffering terribly with my stomach lately I ended up in ana around six weeks ago with the pain I also get very bloated and full of gas
thank you very much for that information 👍 I will have a chat with my doctor.....
I hope you are having a nice day
@Olliedogzzzz Crohn's is a chronic illness so it most likely hasn't gone but is in remission. I wonder if the psoriasis is caused by any medication your son is on? It could be a side-effect. Is your son under the hospital gastro team?

It might be worthwhile you bringing it up with your sons IBD consultant or specialist IBD nurse. They could help explain what's causing the psoriasis and prescribe something to manage it. It could be that the treatment he had in hospital worked to clear up his psoriasis at the same time.
Let me know how he gets on.

That's great news. Is your son feeling okay about having the MRI?
The scan's are so detailed and provide real insight into how active Crohn's is and what treatment plan will be best. Keep us updated and good luck
