Answer 2

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/Curespsoriasis2015LrHF 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 3

I too am a fellow sufferer of Psoriasis. It amazes me just how common it is becoming. I use a cream called Aqueous Cream BP which the doctor can prescribe, but it is very cheap to buy from the chemist for a huge tub. Also, there is a bath emollient that I use called Oilatum (make sure its not the kids one). You add 2 cap fulls of the stuff to your bath and it is fantastic. Other than that, I guess you've tried all the other stuff like Toplar and Betnovate that the doctor gives. If it really bad you could ask him to try you on a course of UV light treatment or steroids. Thats what I had to do in the end. I really hope my answer helps your condition. Best of luck.

1. Get some sun. Natural sunlight has been shown to sigificantly improve, or clear, psoriasis. Get regular daily doses, but keep them short and avoid the sun from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., when the rays are strongest.

2. Add over-the-counter tar solutions, bath oil, oatmeal, Epsom salts and Dead Sea salts to your bath. All of these will help soften the skin.

3. Use moisturizers after bathing and periodically during the day. These may not clear the psoriasis, but will help reduce itching and retain moisture in the skin.

4. Try using aloe vera gel, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil or natural vegetable oils as moisturizers. They are a natural and relatively inexpensive way to moisturize the skin.

5. Take flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil according to directions on label. They supply essential fatty acids which are important for the skin and preventing dryness.

6. Take natural beta-carotene, 25,000 IU per day. It helps protect skin tissue.

7. Take zinc, preferably in the form of zinc gluconate lozenges, for maximum absorption. Do not exceed 50 mg. per day.

8. Try shark cartilage. Take 1 gm. per 15 lbs. of body weight. Divide it into 3 doses a day. Shark cartilage has been known to stop the spread of psoriasis, but you will need to give it 2-3 months to see results.

9. Take vitamins A, 10,000 IU a day. and E, 400-1200 IU daily.

10. Take Vitamin C, 2-5,000 mg. a day in divided doses. It is necessary for immune system function, and for formation of collagen and skin tissue.

11. Brush scales lightly with a loofah, then apply an alcohol-free extract of the herb goldenseal. This will help reduce inflammation and swelling.

12. Keep a record of your outbreaks. Psoriasis typically flares up and then improves. Write down what you were doing, eating, or what was going on in your life at the time of a flare-up. Triggers to flare-ups include stress, tension, illness, sunburn, certain drugs and alcohol.

13. Decrease or eliminate red meat and dairy products. They contain arachidonic acid, a substance that can cause inflammation and, in turn, make your psoriasis lesions swollen and red.

Answer 6

I went to Turkey on holiday a few years back and visited the calcium pools on a trip, The place was called pamukkale. Within a few days my psoriasis became almost unnoticeable. It did come back but never as bad as it was. It must have been something in the water.

Try aloe vera. See if you can find a plant of it from a nursery/garden centre. Cut off a piece and squeeze out the gel that's inside and rub it on the affected area. It is really really soothing and should help to calm the itching and inflamation.

Answer 9

Stupid as it sounds I used cow teat dip although I only discovered this when I started milking our dairy cows regularly!
I was cleared up in a month!
If there are no friendly dairy farmers near u try something with tea tree oil in that's also very good for skin conditions
Good luck know how awful it can be!

Answer 10

put warmed olive oil onto affected area about an hour before a bath then put a little in the bath
