I suffer from psoriasis, every time I apply suncream I come out in big red itchy blotches. Help!?

Answer 1

Change the suncream! When I have a bout of psoriasis, I don't use cream at all but expose my limbs in sunshine for up to 15 mins at this time of the year, three times a day and that clears it up.
I use Boots suncream when I want to stay in the sun for longer.

Answer 2

I had a 13 year history of psoriasis, though I was in good health otherwise. But these severe large, thick and scaly excoriated plaques on my neck, ears, trunk and limbs ruined the way I was leading my life. I would be with red, inflamed itchy skin for most part of the year and these silvery scales would seem to be erupting without any reason. To make matters worse, blisters would appear over already red and itching skin. It was living hell.

I was treated with various options but nothing seemed to be working. Some of the treatments that I underwent in this depressing period of 13 years included tar preparation, tropical steroids and anthralin. I was also given light therapy many times but everything I tried would give me temporary relief.

And soon, after a few days I would be plagued with the situation again. In one of those moments when I was completely lost I stumbled upon this website just by chance. I read it and felt that as if someone had put the story my life on this web page. I was thoroughly convinced that if ANYONE can cure me of condition, it would be you.

And was I right, or what. I started recovering within 3 days of starting this treatment. Something that had become a painful part of me for 13 years was actually getting healed! My ears are healed and my neck is smooth again!. I am a month into the treatment and I have never felt better in my life!

Answer 4

I was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 14 and now I am 36 years old. You can say that I have tried just about every medicine both approved by FDA and trial without much success. Examples include Enbrel, Humira, oral meds, creams, oils, salts, coal tar, etc and the list is much more extensive that I can't even remember all of the names. But recently after someone shared this video https://tr.im/psoriasisCures2015XkME everything has changed. My psoriasis completely cleared by putting these changes in place. I only wish I'd taken photos of before and after because it truly has been miraculous. I am getting married in Oct, 2015 and I am wearing a strapless gown that also shows my back and I am confident (not like before) that my skin will be soft and pretty vs red and flakey.

Answer 5

Have you tried using medication for the psoriasis, A drug such as the Tazorac cream? It could be that the use of medication combined with the suncream is irritating to your skin. If that's not the case, you may have very sensitive skin (especially because of the psoriasis)

Answer 6

Obviously one of a few of the ingredients in this sun cream irratates your psoriasis look at the ingredients that are in the one that is causing your skin to flare up and try to find a duncream without these ingredients but the best thing to do is to go to a chemist and speak to a professional in regards to the suncream boots have sun cream advisers in all their large stores. They dhould be able to advise you what one to use.

Answer 7

Go and ask your doctor what is the best suncream for you to use you may be allergic to the cream you are using or it may be reacting with your psoriasis

Answer 8

Be sure to try a physical sunblock rather than a chemical one. One with titanium dioxide is sold by Clinique, I like it a lot. Fewer chemicals than the ones sold in the grocery stores, and it makes your face have a little glow of it's own. It has a very mild zinc oxide look, sort of an extra mild "lifeguard's nose" effect.

Answer 9

i do too... ask your doctor for "silkis" cream... avoid suncream, as the sun will cure your psoriasis.... as will a turkey and orange juice diet help too... good luck! i have suffered with it for 30 years.. stay happy.. because it's stress related...
