I have had this heat problem for years. When I started getting acupuncture
treatments, it was relieved. The practitioner explained to me that it is a
build up of heat in my system that causes this hot feeling as well as affecting
the Psoriasis. I noticed that after a round of antibiotics, it becomes
much worse again and I need more acupuncture. I know that it may sound like
voodoo to some, but it works for me and there's no side effects. I also get
some relief of the pain in my Achilles from acupuncture.

along the hair line (regularly at night) and poor warnth management (feeling
hot or cold when others around experience the opposite) is VERY common and
in warmer climes, is often considered as an indicator of PA.
