Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis is widely recognised as a disease caused by a genetic malfunction. This genetic malfunction causes the immune system in our bodies to react to a perceived threat and this in turn results in red and inflamed flakes, pustules or lesions on the skin.

Psoriasis treatment depends primarily on the type of Psoriasis you have and the severity of it. It is important to make sure that the type of Psoriasis has been checked and confirmed by a licensed medical professional. One thing that has become very evident here in the SkinCell Forum is that many skin disorders and diseases share common symptoms. It's very easy to assume that you have Psoriasis but you should never take anything for granted and advice from a trained medical profession should always be a top priority before any treatment is started.
The severity of a Psoriasis outbreak can be measured using either the PASI - Psoriasis Area Severity Index or the QOL - Quality Of Life Questionnaire. Neither of these measures provides a definitive "score" but they can be used to gauge the approximate coverage of our bodies or the effect the disease is having on our overall health and well-being.

Once the coverage and type have been established you and your medical professional can hopefully decide an action plan together which should best suit your individual needs. It's important to remember to get your medical professional to talk to you about the plan, the timescales for treatment, the anticipated results and most importantly what possible side effects there may to the treatment.
Don't rely on your Doctor or Dermatologist telling you, you may need to ask them.

Psoriasis Cure

Don't believe a word of it!
Unfortunately and despite the promises of many web sites there is no such thing as a true cure for Psoriasis.
The best that a suffer can realistically hope for is long term remission, where the symptoms seems to fade away. The disease does not have any medically recognised cure.
ThIS does not mean though that there Is no hope of a cure in the future. With the introduction of the new Biologic forms of treatment it is hoped that longer term viable relief can be given to sufferers everywhere.
The SkinCell Forum has many members who suffer from psoriasis. In the forum we concentrate on the treatment and reduction of this skin disease.

Treatments.

There are many types of treatment for Psoriasis including the use of steroids, drugs that suppress the immune system, phototherapy, topical creams and ointments or even natural sunlight.
Despite the claims made by some less responsible businesses, there is NO CURE for the disease. The best that can be hoped for is a period of remission, when the disease calms down and reduces in size or intensity.
In addition to these contemporary medicines there are many other cultures who profess to be able to offer at least some relief from Psoriasis including the use of shark body parts or a whole array of herbal medications, aromatherapy and essential oils and solutions.
Unfortunately, no one method can provide relief to all sufferers.
Psoriasis is renowned as being the most perculiar of skin diseases. A treatment that gives very good results for one patient may have little or no effect on another and there seems to be no way of knowing which category you fall into. You just have to try different options by trial and error but this in turn can lead to frustration for the sufferer, having to steadily work through any number of options until they find a specific treatment that works well for them.

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 4

After suffering from psoriasis for as long as I can remember I know that there are no hard or fast rules to cure the condition. It is easy for someone without the condition to tell you what to do but it isn't necessary as easy as all that is it? I have endured years of well wishers coming up and telling me of the latest 'cure'. I can suggest getting a good relationship with your GP and asking for a Derm appointment.
Also join a help group such as The Psoriasis Help Organisation (www.psoriasis-help.org.uk) they are an online community of Psoriasis sufferers who share ideas, experiences and sometimes just lend an ear to a frustrated fellow sufferer.

Answer 5

My wife suffer from psoriasis, and has done since her Mother died. Every time she gets stressed, it breaks out again. We are now retired, live in a little bunglow and have no money problems. She now has small patches on her elbow sand knees but, otherwise, it has cleared up. Stress is one of the major factors in her case and in the case of others we know. Don't let it get to you. It can be covered by careful use of clothing and makeup. Once you are feeling happier with yourself, you will see an improvement.

Answer 9

My cousin is a nurse and runs an eczema clinic and apparently if you put olive oil on the affected area and wrap it up in cling film overnight, it moisturises the area. Also check your diet, beacuse dairy products, citrus fruits and tomatoes can aggravate skin conditions.

medicinenet.com, mayoclinic.com, healthrealage.com,
webmd.com to name a few where you can do some really great research on that condition. Or, you can just type it in on your Yahoo home page & search; you'll have all sorts of choices.
