Can anyone recommend a good treatment for Psorisis?

Answer 1

Psoriasis treatments fall into 3 categories:

Topical (applied to the skin) – Mild to moderate psoriasis

Phototherapy (light, usually ultraviolet, applied to the skin) – Moderate to severe psoriasis

Systemic (taken orally or by injection or infusion) – Moderate, severe or disabling psoriasis

While each of these therapies is effective, there are also drawbacks.

Some topicals are messy and may stain clothing and skin. Phototherapy can require 2 to 5 weekly visits to a dermatologist’s office or psoriasis clinic for several weeks. Many of the systemic medications have serious side effects and must be combined or rotated with other therapies to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects. Research is being conducted to find therapies that provide safe, effective, easy-to-use treatment options that provide long-term relief.

A more natural approach to Psoriasis Treatments include:

1) Dead Sea Salts This traditional treatment to healing naturally has been used in the Middle East for thousands of years. We have a 6 week program designed to use in your home.

2) "Psoriasis Spot Free in 30 Days", A special diet book written by a former sufferer of the itching and flaking skin condition. The author is a registered nurse who used food to reverse the signs and symptoms of her condition.

3) Homeopathic treatment that helps to target the source of the problem with no damaging side effects.

4) Herbal extractions like Oregon Grape Root Extract and Herbal Detox Tea combinations that gently cleanse your body of toxins and help optimize your liver function. Herbs have historically been used for treatment of skin conditions.

5) Gentle herbal scalp creams and shampoos that contain FDA approved ingredients to combine nature with science.

6) Dietary supplements to improve your defense systems, Omega Fortified Flax (recommended for children and adults) and Alkyrol Shark Liver Oil for maximum Omega 3 fatty acids.

Maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet can improve general health and have a positive impact on psoriasis.

Answer 3

I recently went to Lanzarote where the UV intensity is really high. My Psoriasis didn't clear but it definitely looked a lot better. However, I think it's the UVB rays which help it, not UVA which are found in tanning beds etc. So to get rid of it by artificial UV light I think is quite expensive.
I'd go with the dairy thing though, it does seem to be the root of many health problems.
Try to avoid 'sodium laureth/laurel sulphate' in your bathroom products, it's a skin irritant and may be a hindrance to it clearing. I don't think Pantene has it in, just about everything else does though!
Good luck!

Dovobet must not be used long term. It contains a potent fluorinated steroid, betamethasone. This produced both skin thinning and stria on the skin. It also produces a rebound phenomenan, after prolonged usage, when you try and stop the ointment the condition rebounds and can be more severe than the original problem, so take care. Dovonex, which contains no steroid can be used long term.

Answer 5

Cross any poltar crap off,

Natural sunlight or a UV lamp, Sanex Moisturiser helped with mine, Denovex works well.

I was rid off it for 2 months after a course of Acupuncture , but my psorisis always clears up when I am hospitalised so I figure its mainly to do with diet.

I hope that helps.

Answer 6

some people get it as a sign of lactose intolerance. Knock of the dairy for a few days and see how you go.

My son had it and it cleared in days when we knocked the dairy on the head. We kept him off it for a couple of weeks until his body healed and now he is back to normal eating patterns without the psoriasis.

Goodluck

p.s. No drugs needed

Answer 7

I have psorisis on my knuckles, they get very itchy and sometimes bleed if I scratch them too much, now I use an ointment I got from my doctor called Betnovate, the active ingredient is betamethasone 0.1% w/w (as betamethasone valerate). It works wonders for me and the itchiness and soreness goes away almost as soon as I apply it. Good luck, I know how you feel!

Answer 8

My friend had really bad psorisis. He started going tanning and it cleared up. Sounds silly but I think it has something to do with vitamins that the sun gives.

Answer 9

I suffer from Psorisis and I take a zinc tablet every day and that has really helped me.
