Does anyone have some good ways to relieve psoriasis.?

Question

I have had this condition for a while. It continues to flair up. Can anyone help with some remedies they use to relieve it?

Answer 1

Psoriasis is a persistent skin disease that got its name from the Greek word for "itch." The skin becomes inflamed, producing red, thickened areas with silvery scales, most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. It results when skin cells start reproducing wildly, and piling up on the surface. The most common symptoms of psoriasis are thick, red patches known as plaques, and dry, silvery scales. Recent research indicates that psoriasis is likely a disorder of the immune system. No one knows what triggers your immune system to cause psoriasis. It is believed that you must have a genetic tendency to be susceptible to the condition. But once your immune system is triggered, it sends a false alarm to your skin cells, telling them that they’ve been damaged. The skin cells react by attempting to repair this “damage.” They begin reproducing at an accelerated rate, rising to the skin surface, dying, and building up there. The skin surface thickens. As blood vessels expand and more blood flows to the skin, it becomes red. The result is the flaky, red patches you know as plaques.

While Eczema and Psoriasis are completely different skin disorders, they are often treated with the same methods. Cortisone creams, ointments, and lotions commonly prescribed for skin disease may clear the skin temporarily and control the condition in many patients. Side effects from steroids include thinning of the skin, dilated blood vessels, bruising, and skin color changes. Treatments that are recommended by doctors and pharmaceutical companies worldwide amounts to futile attempts at mere symptom treatment, instead of the trying to address the root causes of the condition. Symptoms you see on the skin express the body's attempt to heal, but are not the cause of disease

Because the causes of Psoriasis are due to autoimmune disorders, I recommend products which are high in anti-oxidants to help boost and maintain a healthy skin matrix. This includes Vitamin Supplement. And Aloe Based Skin Care
Here's why Aloe is good for you:
1.) It Penetrates. It actually sinks down into the lower layers of the skin (dermis) where your collagen
is. Nothing you buy over the counter can do that. Why is that important? Cause if you buy something
that says it boost collagen, it's not true. If it can't reach the collagen, it can't help the collagen.
Penetration is also important when it come to cleansing, you want an aloe based cleanser to clean
deep down in your pores.

2.) It Exfoliates, Aloe is a natural exfoliator, the plant enzymes actually break down the soap and
residue that hold dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells make your skin look flaky,
dry and dull. A build up of dead skin can also break down your collagen over time (causing wrinkles)
which is why it is so important to exfoliate. Aloe does it naturally without scrubs or chemicals.

3.) Aloe Regenerates- Aloe regenerates skin 11 times faster than you body does naturally. That's
why aloe is often used on burns. If you have scars, sun spots, wrinkles or any other skin damage, aloe
can help heal it fast!

4) Aloe is a Natural Anti- inflamitory - Acne anyone? Redness? Aloe cleanses, removes impurities,
and shrinks and tightens pores all at once.

Here are a few more things aloe can do for you:
Heals psoriasis in up to 83% of suffers in 16 weeks.
Rub it on inflamed joints to ease pain.
Drink aloe juice to build a stronger immune system.

Hi,
Home remedies are the lowest cost treatments for dealing with psoriasis. More often than not, they are all-natural cures and won’t harm you with harsh side-effects. Not all results work for all people and it may take trying a few different remedies to find one that works for you.

Hi, I recommend Vitamin E will help a bit. Vitamin E is a powerhouse vitamin when it comes to beauty. Pure Vitamin E used directly on the skin has a number of benefits for the skin. It softens skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is often used to treat itchy skin rashes and conditions like Eczema. Doctors often recommend using pure Vitamin E to help reduce the appearance of scars and other blemishes on the skin. Vitamin E has also been used successfully to treat stretch marks. If you have some stretch marks from weight loss or pregnancy that you really want to get rid of skip the cocoa butter and go straight for the Vitamin E. Lotions and creams containing Vitamin E can cost $75 or more, so get some pure Vitamin E capsules from the drugstore or health food store, open a capsule and apply that directly to your skin.

Everyone reacts differently to medications, so it's hard to say.What works for one may not work for another. The best thing to do is see your dermatologist every once in a while for updates. What's helped me the best in the past is PUVA - the light therapy. Dovonex worked some, and the steroid creams always do - but you have to watch how much and how often you use them. Make sure you are moisturizing all the time.

My husbands uncle has this really bad. He's been hospitalized several times because it gets so out of control (his fault for not doing what he's supposed to).

The doctor told him to go to the tanning bed. It helps him a lot. It's when he quits going that it flares up. He goes every day until it's under control, then he cuts it back to a few times a week.

Try using Swisa Dead Sea Salt scrub, it seems to help me.

Have you ever just thought about gross it was and wanted to just scrub/shave it off?
Not to be rude or anything, I've just always wondered that.
