Is there a safe treatment for psoriasis? how long does it take to cure ?

Question

My finger nails are getting deshaped and detached from the nail beds, there is a powder formation underneath the nails, there is also a white scales formation on one of my thighs.This has been diagnosed as a type of psoriasis. Is there a treatment which is certain and free of side effects?

Answer 1

No, at this time there is no cure, or treatment that is free of side effects.
If you are looking for something like an aveno oatmeal bath for some help with the dryness, that may help, but there isn't anything that is curative at this point.

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

my friend, it sounds like you have Plaque Psoriasis and like the others have said there is no cure and no drug free of side effects. I've had it for 5 years. It covers my entire scalp, causing severe hair loss and it's spreading to my chest, stomach and back.

The most safest way is with vitamins. Dermatologists will prescribe topical creams like foams and some alcohol based solutions. There are some over the counter things available at WalMart like Psoriasin Gel. It helps cut back on scaling and dryness w/o stinging (I use it).

Another route you can go is with UV light (tanning) but you also have to think of the long term effects of that treatment which is Melanoma (skin cancer).

Another route, is the new drug Enbrel. It's a self injectable medication that the dermatologist like to prescribe because it helps control the disease the best. It's fairly expensive though depending on your insurance benefits. I tried to get it, but with my Health insurance, it was going to cost me $330 a month. Because the drug is so new, the FDA is not sure of what effects it has after long term usage.

They do have an oral pill you can take, Methotrexate, but they don't like to prescribe it. It can cause a lot of damage to your liver and kidneys after time, and it doesn't seem worth it.

Go to your dermatologist and talk to them about treatment options. You can also go to www.psoriasisconnect.com and find out more information. I get a free mailing every month that keeps me informed of new findings and you can hear about people who have lived with this disease for years and what they've found works best.

You also need to know that psoriasis is not a bacteria or a virus or anything of the sort. It's a immune system disfunction. Your immune system is basically "on overload" and it's attacking your skin cells causing inflammation.

The first step to treating it is to understand the disease. Do some research. I'd be more than happy to talk to you about it if you want. [e-mail]

Answer 6

There IS a safe treatment, not to be mistaken as a 'cure'. There is no such thing as a 'cure'. The treatment we know of gets to the root cause and it works! It is not as difficult as you might think. We have found a scientifically validated solution, well worth taking a look at.

Psoriasis is an immune related disease.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Ah, friend, welcome to my world. No, there is no cure for our condition. The best treatment I have found is ultra-violet light, multi-vitamins, and Omega 3/6 fish oil tablets @1500mg per day. This keeps it under control, but is not a cure.

Also note that what I have described may not work for you. Because this is such an 'individual' kind of disease, it has been impossible thus far to find a consistent treatment. What works for one person doesn't always work for anyone else. I am very wary of the advertised cures due to the side effects mentioned, particularly the chances of kidney disease and death.


Tried that, danlljn, and it didn't work for me -- or anyone else I know. Also, could you maybe have written a longer run-on sentence?

Lots of discussion, but no guaranteed cures. see:
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine
Prescription for Natural Cures
Digestive Wellness - Elizabeth Lipski
Let's Get Well - Adelle Davis
Library or health food stores often have copies, or order on
Alibris.com at discount prices.
Good luck!

Honey I hate to break it to you but there is no cure for psoriasis yet. My father in law has had it bad for years and has it all over his body and lost finger nails. The doctor can prescribe you medicines to help relieve the discomfort but there is no way to get rid of it for good.
