Subject: [ ] Has anyone seen psoriasis releif from Xolair?

My PCP has suggested Xolair to control my asthma symptoms, and I was

wondering if anyone has seen any psoriasis releif from the drug as

well. Since Xolair is anti-IgE, and elevated IgE levels are present in

most psoriasis sufferers, I was hoping I might be killing two (or more)

birds with one stone. Thanks!

hi eric,

i don't have psoriasis, but i do have eczema, essentially since birth. at

times, it would spin wildly out of control at the mention of an upcoming storm,

change of seasons or if i ate somethign that was NEXT TO something else.

since starting xolair, my eczema has calmed down a bit..what i now consider a

flare is really the equivilient of my skin being under its ultimate control

five years ago. its funny how perspective changes.

my eczema hasn't dissappeared, but its definately better and more tolerant of

things like weather changes and pollen counts. i don't know if its the xolair,

or if it was just my time to begin to " outgrow " it (i'm 31)

good luck
