I have had mild/moderate Psoriasis for about 6 years now (I'm 25). I used to smoke but I quit about a year and a half ago. I don't really notice any difference in my Psoriasis since I quit smoking, and drinking doesn't really seem to affect it for me either (although I've never really been a heavy drinker, I definitely drank more in college than I do now). I do, however, have several allergies that have come and gone throughout the years. When I was younger I was allergic to shellfish horribly, but after age 10 or so I outgrew the allergy. I am still (as far as I know) highly allergic to bees as well as a mildly allergic to raw egg whites. My Psoriasis (knock on wood) doesn't seem to spread much, but I've been battling the same handful of spots for the last few years with a new spot arising every year or so (usually due to a pesky mosquito bite or some wound that get infected with psoriasis). I am just now looking into diet alternatives and it appears from a lot of what I am reading that it is almost like an allergic reaction...very odd. The steroid creams and Dovonex work ok, but nothing seems to completely clear it. I'm getting quite frustrated and to the point where I really want to fight back with all I've got. Good luck in battling yours.
