I have only ever bought and worn cotton pants, recently my friend brought me some really nice comfy knickers, the fabric is a mix of lycra and cotton. I always wash new underwear before wearing for the first time anyway, but almost right from the minute I put them on I started itching , around my groin, I have now been left with a really red patch of skin around my groin. It is not painful just itchy but not all the time, the skin feels quite dry and rough to the touch. Any ideas, I have been told by the pharmacy to wash in coal tar soap and use canestan cream on the rash. Please help. I am doctor phobic so that is not an option.

I think it's an allergic reaction to the knickers, burn them. The Pharmacist suggested canesten cream (for yeast infections) if this doesn't work I'd try a zinc cream (zincofax or penaten) or any zinc cream recommended for a baby's diaper rash.
Our whole family uses zinc cream on mild skin abrasions...it takes away the itch. You already know this but stick to the cotton undies.

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/psoriasisTreatment2015M61o 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.

Psoriasis is a disease that takes place when the body’s immune system mistakenly believes healthy skin cells to be enemy cells and starts to produce many more new cells to replace these cells. This is the reason why there is no cure for psoriasis and medications applied to treat psoriasis are only able to remove the symptoms temporarily. Don't go the "cream route", it's only just a waste of time and money. Been there Done that!
You need to read "Psoriasis Free For Life" by Katy Wilson if you want to cure your psoriasis for good. Available online also @ http://www.psoriasisforeverfree.com It's a book that shows you how to cure psoriasis naturally in a few days. I cured my psoriasis permanently in 6 days after reading this book. Good luck!

Do without altogether and let things dry out for a bit. You may be allergic to the lycra - stick with what you know. Good luck.

It's jock itch. You can treat it with over-the-counter spray or cream found in any drug store. Lose the lycra - it's really comfy, but your skin can't breathe. It is NOT psoriasis. My brother has psoriasis, and the doctor told him it is hereditary - you cannot catch it.

Less cotton + more Lycra = More sweat!
It's because your skin can't breathe as well as it can with pure cotton, Lycra is not so much a breathable fabric.
It's not psoriosis at all.
Go back to cotton.

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.
For more information, check here : http://Psoriasis.naturallysaver.com .
You can definitely get back your life, your confidence and your self esteem!
