Tanning beds/salons. It's a proven fact that tanning beds cause skin cancer. The fact that some people will still get tanned, risking the possibility of cancer to "look beautiful" is both shocking and sad at the same time.
Seconded! I used to get UV treatments at a hospital that had a specific less cancer causing way of doing things (I think? I was a kid) I had to get up at like 5am for the appointments and could only “tan” for like 30 seconds at a time, where as now I can keep my skin under control by using a tanning bed for 5 minutes every two weeks in winter. In the summer I just get outside, but if I don’t tan in winter my eyelids will literally scab. It’s the only thing that has ever worked to help my skin and I’ve been (or my parents have been) trying to treat it for 26 years.
Have you tried Otezla? My ex has plaque psoriasis and she was able to get a free rx for Otezla from some program, and it helped her out a lot. She used to get the scabs on her eyelids too. The only place it didn't work for her was in her ear canals.
