Psoriasis Treatment?

Question

I have had a problem with psoriasis for 5 years. It is located on the base & sides of my nose and above my upper lip. I had been using my sister's corticosteriod medication, but that is no longer an option.

My main problem is the redness in this area; scaling is minimal and it doesn't itch.

I have tried vaseline, lotion, and a tar substance. The vaseline and lotion have minimal effect if any. And I have experimented with tar a couple times; each time my facial psoriasis is redder and sore. Does this mean it is working? Not working?

Is there a non-prescription treatment for my psoriasis, especially to get rid of the redness?

Answer 1

If the rash is around the nose and upper lip.,... It looks like seborrhoeic dermatitis and not psoriasis. Just do a web search for seborrhoeic dermatitis and see the pics. Does your rash look like that. If yes just apply nizoral shampoo to wash that area everyday. It will decrease. If it doesnt .... meet the dermatologist

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!

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/CurespsoriasisY3km 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.

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.

You can definitely get back your life, your confidence and your self esteem!

Some people are highly allergic to tar products. Vaseline and lotion will not help psoriasis. There are over the counter things but they don't really work too well. The only thing I've ever had to control psoriasis is prednisone. Some Dr's will give it and some won't. Check with your Dr. Psoriasis is not curable, only controllable.

Answer 8

why don't you go and see a doctor for yourself? by using your sisters steroid cream you could have damaged your skin as the skin on the face is thinner than on the body. you should only use certain ones on your face.
a doctor could prescribe something specifically for your problem. why don't you want to see a doctor?

Get some sun. My dad's dermatologists told him that sun helps clear it up. I have it all over and when I get some sun it clears up quick. It's worked for both of us. I hope it works for you.
