Help with psoriasis?

Question

I was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis. It's all over my back and stomach. It makes my back look old and wrinkly like when I'm only 17. Does anyone have help to stop the itching and keep my skin looking as young as I am? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

This type of psoriasis may be treated at home in most mild-to-moderate cases. Keeping the skin moist will prevent extra irritation. Thick moisturizers applied after a bath to keep in moisture and soften the skin are helpful.

Over the counter topical steroids may help to reduce inflammation and itching.

Guttate psoriasis may be inherited. Those with a family history of psoriasis have an increased chance of having the disease. Some people carry genes that make them more likely to develop psoriasis.

People with guttate psoriasis may have a significantly higher number of human leukocyte antigens BW17, B13, or CW6 than others. Psoriasis is the only disease associated with the human leukocyte antigen C gene expression.

Antigens are proteins on the surface of bacteria, viruses, or material foreign to the body. The body's immune system recognizes the type of antigen present and makes an antibody to destroy the bacteria, virus, or foreign material.

When the body has a streptococcal infection, it produces antibodies to streptolysin-O that is on the bacterial cell. People with an excess of human leukocyte antigen B13 may not be able to produce enough antibodies to the streptolysin-O, which may be associated with the high rate of guttate psoriasis in these individuals.

Guttate psoriasis may not be preventable. However, complications or further flare-ups may be reduced by avoiding anything that triggers a psoriasis outbreak. For example, anyone with psoriasis should try to minimize all forms of skin trauma, such as scratching or vigorous rubbing, which may lead to new psoriatic lesions on previously unaffected areas. This is known as the Koebner phenomenon.

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!

The main cause of psoriasis is tension. Drink 100 ml Bitter Gourd juice on empty stomach before breakfast daily. There is no cure for this disorder with Allopathic medicines so there no point wasting your hard earned money on those medicines. There are some good Ayurvedic medicines that help to relieve the symptom. Drink 3 tablespoon Aloe Vera juice on empty stomach twice a day. I have cured Psoriasis and the patient is still taking treatment for last 30 months. Take care and be in good health.

Cure psoriasis starting today - even if your doctor or dermatologist says "it's impossible!"
I've just followed a guide called psoriasis free for life that completely cured me of this debilitating and embarrassing disease in less than a month!
Remember, this will not only treat the symptoms that you do see:
the red, inflamed itchy skin.
The silvery scales that seem to erupt for no reason.
The burning or bleeding that occurs around your joints.
The cracking, oozing and painful patches on your skin.
But it also treats the underlying cause of psoriasis - the part you don't see - the actual immune system deficiency that causes these itchy patches to appear and scale over.

Special consideration needs to be taken guttate psoriasis. Especially in younger people it may have an association with a recent bacterial infection, because of that you may have a good response to a course of antibiotics. Ask you're dermatologist about it.
The other thing is that guttate does have quite a good response to ultraviolet light, especially the B wavelengths (UVB). Now you do get UVB from your daily sun exposure and tanning booths, however as with everything too much of it is harmful in the long term, and you definitely dont won't to get a sunburn (bad for the psoriasis and your skin in the long term).
The UVB will help with the itching. Other things include anti-histamines (check with ur doc for a regiment for this and the uvb). Some cream/lotions may give you a more immediate relief such as sarna (keep it in the fridge, as the cooling will help with itching as well).

i was diagnosed with psoriasis when I was 19. I'm 27 now. There is no cure, but it can get better. I think the sun and salt water work best for me. Also keeping the psoriasis moisturized will help, Eucerin is the best. Also take good care of yourself emotionally. The more stressed you are, the more your skin will flare up. psoriasis is awful. But it is can be managed. Good Luck!

I was diagnosed with psoriasis last year on my legs and ankles..I was putting all kinds of medicines on it and moisturizer but it kept getting worse . I started laying in a tanning bed and out in the sun and within a week it was almost completely gone. It will come back unfortunately , But laying in the sun or in a tanning bed should help.
