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!

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/TreatmentPsoriasis2015Yfhl 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.

I was given cream from my GP for psoriasis but it was rubbish and greasy. The best thing I found was E45 and H45 cream, which you can buy at any chemist! Another your friend could try is stuff that you put in the bath or use in the shower think it's called Aqueous or something similar, I've heard thats pretty good for ezema and psoriasis. Hope this helps!

My daughter used Decloban (we got it from the Pharmacy in Spain), and her psoriasis cleared up almost immediately and only a very small patch has returned. That was 8 weeks ago.
Not sure if you can get it in UK.

Betnovate is a treatment , NOT a masking cream!
She needs to speak to her dermotologist and he will be able to refer her to a specialist medical make-up consultant. The consultant will assess the needs of your friend, then determine skin shade etc so that she gets a good match to her skin colour and texture.

If she goes and speaks with her dermatologist, they will be able to put her in touch with the Red Cross who do a special service for masking makeup for all sorts of skin conditions and blemishes

Try Curatoderm - its a product made by Hermal but i think it is available only on prescription! Ask ur doc, they will be able to advise u further! try not to use a steroid tho cos they will thin ur skin and should only be used for a couple of weeks!
Curatoderm ive heard is good.
