Psoriasis... any effective method/treatment to eliminate the condition?

Answer 1

You cannot eliminate the condition. BUT, you can find medications that might reduce or eliminate the symptoms. There are now several biologic medicines out for moderate to severe psoriasis. They are either injected or by IV, and all we hear is good news on it. I use Enbrel and I went from 85% coverage to about 5%, which is on my scalp. My fellow support group members use Enbrel or Raptiva. There is also Remicade and one or two others whose names escape me right now. If you have light coverage, they may not prescribe this for you. Protopic is a good gel that will help keep small amounts of patches at bay, but you have to keep using it.

I do a little bitty shot twice a week and am patch-free except on the scalp. It is wonderful.

Get an appointment with the dermatologist. For more info, you can search on the names above, and/or go to www.psoriasis.org for the National Psoriasis Foundation. There are quite a few things you can read without being a member. And, I recommend you become a member, as they send out newsletters 5-6 times a year that keep you up-to-date on the latest technology.

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 3

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.

Answer 4

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/Treatmentpsoriasis2015drXt 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 5

There are many theories as to what causes psoriasis, and the different treatments available learn towards one or another.
Topical or oral treatment with steroids may decrease the severity of outbreaks.
The current theory of psoriasis is leaning towards it being an auto-immune disease. And not an allergic response to something. Treatments at this far end of the spectrum include immune suppressing drugs and cytoxic agents (similar to chemotherapy).
There is no cure, sadly, for psoriasis. Your treatment will depend on how severe your disease is.

Answer 6

You can NOT cure psoriasis but there are medications which can dramatically decrease the appearance of lesions on the body. Depending on the type of severity the choice of medication is usually dependent on that. Mild and Mild to moderate usually respond well to steroid creams/ointments. Where as, with moderate-severe to severe you can step up to subcutaneous injections like Enbrel or Humira which is used for psoriatic arthritis and plaque psoriasis. There is also Raptiva. Another medication which is given intravenously by your doctor is Remicade. As with all medications these come with many side effects and thus you should discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Answer 7

PUVA (Psoralen Ultra Violet- A) therapy is found to be very effective in treating psoriasis.
In this therapy, psoralen is applied as a sensitizor on the skin and the part is exposed to UV-A for some time.
