I was wonder if it happened to you as well. my psoriasis is not very bad...I have it on my legs but is flaring up where my hair in grows  and it gets infected . I can't shave because is making it worse ...the only way i'm doing it is with an electric shaver .now that summer is almost gone is not a big problem, but is always in my mind ...what can I do to make it better? is anyone who has the same problem ? is laser hair removal a solution to stop hair in grow so to stop the flares up ? thank you

this is  hard one especially as i am a male and do not shave my legs but i do shave my face every day sometimes with a electric razor sometimes with a bladed one i tend to buy the shaving soap as apossed to the perfumed shaving creams but i am aware there are a couple of ladies products out there one is a cream called immac you put it on and then shower it off and it removes the hair the other is called a NO NO which is a hair removing laser device .not sure if this helps but i hope you can find a solution to your problem.

Hello everyone, 

Now that summer is here, I thought I would relaunch this discussion. emoticon cute

Do you find that your hair growth or shaving irritates your psoriasis? How do you handle hair removal? Is there anything that you do or use to soothe the pain? Feel free to share here!

I make sure to put baby oil or my other creams on immediately after coming out of the shower. I usually just lightly pat dry my skin and then put on the oil. It soothes nicely for me.
