Husband has very bad psoriasis on lower leg - cirrhosis connection?

My husband has had really bad psoriasis for 30 years but since he was diagnosed with cirrhosis last year it's been much better (he stopped drinking). Now the psoriasis is very red and sore on one lower leg and I'm concerned it might be peripheral neuropathy or something else that's serious. Any ideas? He's reluctant to see the doctor but I think he should asap.

According to the following, there is a connection. I agree with you, seeing the doctor is a good idea. If the skin breaks and does not heal, there is a chance for infection, which can be very serious.

Thanks, my husband rang the doctor just now and sent a photo of his leg which IS infected so he's going on antibiotics. I'm still concerned as my Dad had cellulitis once and it looked very like this.

I'm glad he could get help straightaway. Prayers for a swift recovery.

Check w/MD ASAP to rule out cellulitis. Again, ASAP
