Is talcum powder safe to use when you have psoriasis of the groin, I use it all the time.?

Question

I have used it for about a year now, I always put plenty of it around my groin, to make sure I am completely dry after my daily showers. I always shower twice a day am/pm. My hubby says that I shower too much, I should shower in the morning and then have a good all over wash at night.

Answer 1

Talcum powder is not going to improve your psoriasis. Psoriasis is your skin layers/tissues regenerating at a higher rate of speed -- therefore, powder is not going to help.

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 5

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/PsoriasisTreatmentsZI9l 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 6

Some studies say there is a link between some cancers of the reproductive sysyem and the use of talcum on the groin, vaginal area. I would stop using it to be safe.

Answer 7

Talc removes all the moisture from the skin and that's really the last thing you want to be doing to Psoriasis (Even if it is safe to use talc or not!) - try seeing your Dr and getting a good emollient cream or lotion. Avoid things like Aqueous cream as this should only be used as a soap substitute and not a cream so could irritate your skin.

Answer 8

for some reason I have heard that talcum powder isn't safe for that area--I know this is true for women but not positive about men.

Answer 9

STOP USING IT NOW. Talcum powder has been found to cause ovarian cancer. Talc is also found in condoms, makes you think doesn't it. Stop using it now, save yourself.
