Answer 1

If you talk to a dermatologist there are several alternatives depending on the severity of your case. This definitely is NOT an over-the-counter disease.

Answer 2

I use this over the counter medicine called Skin Zinc. It is not an overnight cure, takes a long time to get it to go away. It comes w/ a cream and a liquid. The cream stops the psoriasis from itching and you have to wait at least an hour after using the cream to use the liquid. The cream also has arnica in it, which helps to heal blemishes as well. I also find that I get psoriasis where I have gotten bug bites, so I am pretty careful about using bug spray. And if you start applying the treatment when you first see a small dot, it goes away much faster than when it a larger area. My case of it may not look great (2-3 spots on each leg) but is not sever. If you have it that bad, you should go to a dermatologist. And check if you have any food allergies. My skin improved greatly when I follow the Dr Peter D'Adamo book Diet for your Blood type. If you are a type B, no chicken and no peanut butter.

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/TreatmentsPsoriasisFlU4 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 and psoriatic arthritis have no cure, but many different therapies can reduce, or nearly stop, their symptoms. No single treatment works for everyone, but something is likely to work in most cases. You may need to experiment before you find a treatment that works for you. During pregnancy, nothing is 100% safe. The potential risk factor to the baby versus the risk factor of a severe flare in the mother (the need to treat the symptoms) must be weighed. UVB, going to the beach, ultraviolet B light, narrow-band UVB with moisturization is extremely effective in the treatment of psoriasis, especially during pregnancy. Of the systemic treatments, oral retinoids and methotrexate are very bad, while cyclosporine and etanercept (Enbrel) are relatively safer. No treatment should be undertaken without the counsel of the OB doctor. Avoid the use of coal tar during pregnancy and during the period of breastfeeding thereafter. These sites may be of interest to you. I hope this helps.

First it is dependent on the severity of your Psoriasis or Exzematitus. In acute cases Silvadene cream is good, but that is usually reserved for severe cases or burn victims. It is very expensive and smells awful. In moderate cases various sulpher creams can be of great help. Also temporary relief is often gained in mild or moderate cases with topical steriods... even the over the counter versions can help. Maximum over the counter strength will be 1%, but a physician will usually start you with a 2% cream. Avoid systemic steroids (orally) unless your case is severe because it doesn't give quick relief or results, and it has many side effects. One of the best ways in moderate cases is to keep this regimen:

1- use topical steroids for quick relief and help with the pain
2- when bathing use Aveeno oatmeal colloidal soaps and bath powders. You add to bath water and soak... it really helps alot
3- avoid harsh laundry detergents... try baby detergent
4- avoid anything with scents or alcohol that touches your body (example would be to put perfume on clothing instead of your neckline to avoid breaking out), this includes strong scented deodorants.
5- most lotions will only aggravate and not help- including your face... try to refrain from using it too much and stick to products like Aveeno until your skin adjusts to it.
6- realize that both physical and emotional stress will almost always trigger a flare up... so learn to relax and calm yourself when needed.

Hope this helps...

I fought psoriasis for years with every type of medicine i could find to put on it. What has finally got it to go away is hard water. If you live in the city that probably isn't going to help you but it is the only thing i have found that made it go away completely. Now i did have one medicine that helped slow it down which was called Dovonex .005% cream or ointment

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Yes Enbrel, some other person has mentioned it here. And if you also have joint pain you may have Psoriatic Arthritis. You will need to see a Rheumatologist for that condition. Here's a great site for research on PsA: http://www.spondylitis.org/main.aspx Click on "About Spondylitis" at the top of the page, then click on Psoriatic Arthritis on the left side of the page. Best wishes.
