From the research I have done, it seems that there are underlying conditions that are precursor to PN, such as Psoriasis, and other skin conditions.

Tina, I just don’t know. My siblings and I had a pretty tough childhood. They say that can have a huge impact on the immune system. Strangely our land was organic so our diet was as good as it gets.
