How I Healed Palmoplantar Pustulosis (PPP) Naturally – Living Symptom-Free for 15 Years Åsa Kärrman
Welcome. My name is Åsa Kärrman, and this is my personal healing story. For many years, I struggled with a painful and debilitating skin condition called palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). At its worst, it left me unable to walk, work, or live a normal life. Doctors told me there was no cure. The medications they wanted to prescribe came with frightening side effects, and none of them offered lasting relief.
Today, more than 14 years later, I am fully healed, without the use of biologics or heavy immunosuppressants. Instead, I found my way through natural approaches, lifestyle changes, and listening carefully to my body. I created this page to share my journey, provide hope, and give practical guidance to others searching for answers. If you are living with PPP, know this: you are not alone, and there is a way forward. What Is Palmoplantar Pustulosis (PPP)?Palmoplantar pustulosis is a rare and chronic form of psoriasis that primarily affects the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. It is characterized by:
Symptoms of PPP
The exact cause of PPP is still unknown, but research points to:
My Story: From Flare-Ups to FreedomMy symptoms began suddenly, with small red dots on the sole of my foot, and later on blisters appearing on my hands and feet. At first, I thought it was an infection or an allergy. But soon the blisters multiplied, my skin cracked, and walking became almost impossible.
I visited several doctors, but it actually took a long time before I finally saw a dermatologist. For months I was misdiagnosed, at one point even with scabies which delayed the right treatment and made the whole experience even more difficult I was offered biologics, but the list of side effects frightened me. Liver damage, increased risk of infections, long-term immune suppression, I didn’t want to trade one health problem for another. Instead, I decided to take a different path. Why I Said No to BiologicsBiologic drugs can be life changing for some, but for me, they were never an option. I didn’t want to risk my long term health for temporary relief. I believed my body was trying to tell me something , that PPP wasn’t just a random skin disease, but a symptom of deeper imbalance.
I realized that if I wanted lasting healing, I needed to address the root cause. The Turning Point: Searching for Root CausesInstead of masking symptoms, I started researching everything I could about autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and healing through lifestyle changes.
What I discovered changed my life:
How I Healed NaturallyHealing PPP required a holistic approach, addressing diet, lifestyle, stress, and overall health. Here’s what worked for me:
1. Anti-Inflammatory Diet I discovered that food played a huge role in inflammation. I transitioned to a diet rich in:
2. Healing the Gut I learned that many autoimmune conditions, including PPP, are linked to gut health. By supporting my digestion with probiotics, bone broth, and clean whole foods, my skin began to mirror the internal healing happening in my gut. 3. Stress Reduction Stress is one of the biggest triggers for flare ups. I introduced mindfulness, yoga, and daily walks into my routine. Learning to calm my nervous system helped calm my skin. 4. Gentle Skincare Instead of harsh creams, I used natural oils like coconut oil to soothe cracks and dryness. This minimized irritation and allowed my skin barrier to repair. 6. Supplements That Supported Healing I added key supplements that supported my immune system and reduced inflammation:
Living Symptom-Free for 15+ YearsIt has now been over 15 years since my last flare-up. I live without fear of the blisters returning. I walk, exercise, and live fully again. Most importantly, I no longer feel controlled by my condition.
Healing PPP naturally gave me not only my health back but also a deeper respect for my body and its ability to heal. Why I Share My StoryWhen I was first diagnosed, I felt alone. Doctors gave me no hope, and online forums were filled with suffering patients who had tried everything with little success.
That’s why I created Well-Healed.com, to show others that healing is possible, even from a disease as stubborn as palmoplantar pustulosis. I’m not a doctor, but I am living proof that the body can heal when given the right conditions. My goal is to help others:
Final ThoughtsHealing from Palmoplantar Pustulosis is not always easy. It takes time, effort, and self-compassion. But I am living proof that remission is possible.

The BookWhen I was sick with Palmoplantar Pustulosis there wasn't a lot of information out there about PPP. After making my own research about the cause, the triggers, and how to heal naturally, it resulted in a book where I'm also telling my own Palmoplantar Pustulosis story and the measures I took to heal. The book is available in three formats such as hard copy, audiobook and e-book.
