Psoriasis is a chronic, incurable autoimmune disorder, and its management should focus on controlling symptoms and minimizing exposure to known triggers.

Lesions should not be manipulated or massaged, whether through direct contact or indirect means, as this may exacerbate the condition or provoke further irritation.

This means not only should the bear puppet hand not be used to massage for the sake of the one receiving the massage, but the puppet hand itself will suffer similarly so it also should not be used to massage because of it’s own compromised conditon.

yeah. almost like if the one receiving the puppet massage was aware (which by all accounts they are in this hypothetical), they would never submit to receiving said massage from said puppet:unsure:

Yup. Exactly what I was about to post.

And at first I read “sad puppet” instead of “said puppet”. But it works either way in this case cause of the condition.

Yes, no matter what you wanna say about anything else, this would be the true smoking gun of absurdity if this were to happen to you and somehow you put this out as a story as an excuse for testing positive for a banned substance. Hypothetically, of course.

Exactly. Especially if later you said, “the puppet hand came from a bear with psoriasis too. So I thought it would all cancel itself out.”

PS: if some people put cucumber slices on their faces, why not pepperoni slices and tomato sauce on the back? :X3:

Well, not all users are so outspoken. I am not familiarized to this, as I’m not a social media celeb.
well, you're a TTW celeb! :cool:

So the banned substance was strawberry jelly? Seems extreme.
 
If you have psoriasis a doctor will prescribe you Clobetsol though. It does work on psoriasis. It’s a good skin steroid. But I don’t see where sinner ever had psoriasis

I wouldn’t want a rub down with clobetsol. I would want baby oil and a nice joint smoother

Actually tanning booths on high velocity mitigate psoriasis very nice


But at the same time. I don’t know cause I don’t play pro sports. I just never had the feeling that it would make me Superman physically. I’m sure there is better PEDs out there for performance let’s say that LOL
Note To Readers:

Do not confuse Clobestol with the young Sinner's Clostebol.

The medication commonly prescribed for psoriasis is Clobestol, a potent topical corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with the condition.

Sinner's Clostebol, on the other hand, is an anabolic steroid and is not used in the treatment of psoriasis.

How many folks do a hand check of their masseuse?
“Yes, Jannik Sinner was made aware of the cut on his physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi’s finger. According to the official report from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), Sinner noticed Naldi’s bandaged finger during a session on March 3, 2024, and inquired about it. Naldi informed him that he had cut himself but stated he had not used any treatment on the wound at that time.”

but this isn’t about that, this is an entirely hypothetical situation.
 
The young Sinner has served his draconian WADA doping sentence and should not be treated like a murderous felon.
Of far greater concern is that psoriasis is a high risk factor for psoriatic arthritis (30% probability).
Very few, if any, top ATP players suffer from psoriatic arthritis.
It will be a miracle if the young Sinner remains at the top long term with such a severe limiting condition.

this thread is about a hypothetical situation, not about anyone named jannik sinner. this is just about it you’d let someone with an open wound rub that open wound on your open wounds.
 
i’m still very much surprised @Winner Sinner hasn’t shared his opinion on this. i’d love to hear if you too would knowingly let someone rub their open wound on your open wounds if you had them. I will take your response or lack thereof very seriously.

This was a total psoriatic bloodbath.
Poor hypothetical player who suffers an autoimmune condition.

Very odd and rather pointless that you would frame it as a hypothetical.
Also note that the masseuse had a bandaged finger not an "open wound". Your scenario is a perfectly harmless non-issue with ordinary citizens who are not subject to WADA testing.
It only becomes an issue with ATP pros that are subject to stringent draconian WADA testing thresholds.

“During the period from March 5 to March 13, 2024, Giacomo Naldi, Jannik Sinner’s physiotherapist, administered massages to Sinner without wearing gloves and without a bandage on his injured finger. Initially, after cutting his finger on March 3, Naldi wore a bandage until March 5. However, once he began applying Trofodermin spray—which contains the banned substance clostebol—to his wound, he ceased using the bandage and continued treating Sinner with bare hands.”

but i’ll say it again, this post isn’t about sinner, it’s a hypothetical. all you have to do is say that you’d let a masseur rub his open wound on your psoriasis covered back in this hypothetical if you think it’s a non issue.

The therapist ceased using the bandage because his wound had healed! There was never an open wound with Sinner's therapist.

Obviously you are referencing the Sinner case so you need to be clear on your hypothetical.
If your scenario is John Doe with psoriasis, who does not need to comply with WADA, receiving a massage from someone with a healed finger, it is perfectly harmless.

my question is completely hypothetical. but this is just not true. naldi was seen wearing a bandage for this cut on 3/10 during sinner’s match against struff, why would one wear a bandage on a wound that was completely healed by this time. i think you need to check the case files as well as pictures from the match on 3/10. you seem to be changing your story.

But this isn’t about sinner, it’s about what you would do! I’m asking, no need to rephrase my question. please answer the question as is!
 
Just curious on what users on this forum would do

edit: Also, Masseur*
Why? Who here has been number one in the world? Why would anyone's opinion matter? Unless....I see, you have this medical condition and you're debating if you should get a massage from someone who has the wound? That must be it.

believe it or not my mailman came into the office with a bandage on his finger, he cut it from working with his beehives and bees somehow (he bee keeps asa hobby). i asked him if he’d ever take his bandage off and massage someone with his open cut. he responded “Ew, that’s disgusting”. even my mailman who is no licensed masseur/physical therapist would absolutely never do this.

then i asked, well what if the person you’re massaging has psoriasis. and he said “that’s a genuine health concern that could spread infections and other diseases.”

Your honor. Clearly, AndrewUtz has no proof that a mailman came into his office with a bandage on his finger. Hence, he's in no position to assess whether or not such an individual would massage someone else with their open cut.

i didn’t want to have to do this but here’s an image of our mailman today, as you can clearly see the ring finger on his right hand is bandaged as he sustained a cut from doing something with his beekeeping hobby. the conversation that i said i had with him yesterday was real.
