Testosterone Levels And Psoriasis?

Has anyone ever heard of a link between testosterone, prolactin, and psoriasis? I have some anecdotal evidence that there may be a link between elevated prolactin levels and increased severity of psoriasis — with an almost immediate improvement in psoriasis scaling when testosterone supplementation was started. Prolactin down, testosterone up, psoriasis improving — am I crazy?

1 Diana Calvario: Ha! I got the information yesterday from my doctors that my prolactin levels are too high at the moment. Althoug I am not suffering from severe psoriasys, the first dots appeared after a 3 year brake again the last month … linked? Maybe!
2 Bob: Is your prolactin high? Higher testosterone doesnt neccecarily lower prolactin.
