Question

How can you keep from not feeling like a FREAK.. lol
I know in the back of my mind i feel this way! I don't even think most people notice that i have it! but i notice every new little dot on me and it is really discouraging..
I don't really get stressed i'm really happy! I have been slightly emotional lately but

I just don't know what to do.. please someone help me!

Answer 1

First you should go see a dermatologist. The combination that worked for my psoriasis, and I had it all over so bad I could barely put on clothes sometimes, was Dovonex and Ultravate combination. Also what helped the most was the tanning bed. Go in small intervals, like 8 min 3 times a week. It's safer in small bits, and very very helpful. I know how your feeling that everyone can see only your spots, but most people don't see them or at the worst think that they are poison ivy. I promise it does go away, somewhat. I used to have it over my entire body, and no the only spots I have is one tiny dot on my lower back and one of my elbows. It will get better just hang in there and stay calm, they say it's caused by stress! Best of luck!

I know your problem!I hope you don't have it as bad as I do! It depends where you have it, as to what medication you would need. You probably know it affects the skin, the scalp, the nails and the joints. The usual affect is on the skin. Depending on the type of psoriasis that you have normally affects the treatment. Supposing that it is Plaque type, You may find that the ointment 'Daivobet' and the capsules 'Regender' may help. Diprosalic is helpful if it is affecting your scalp. A coal tar solution dissolved in a bath of warm water for you to soak in 2 or 3 times a week is helpful. A fairly effective shampoo I have found is 'Ionil shampoo'. The three medications I mentioned at the start are, I believe, prescription only drugs. Remember that Sunshine is very good for this condition in all of it's forms. Summertime is good for psoriasis!
I hope this helps

I have pustual psorisis (the little blister like sores) it effects my hands and feet, I started using a product called schanzdra plus from Herbalife, it worked wonders, if i go for 2 or more days without taking it comes back, but im telling you it worked better than any cream that i had tried. I dont think it is something that u can cure, have to treat it all the time.

Psoriasis is caused by candida. It's what you're eating, for real. Candida is a systemic yeast infection that 70% of Americans are afflicted with (most have no idea). Too busy right now to write you a novel...if you are interested in making diet changes, email me for further info.

Alternative treatment for you, check out this website www.beewild.com. Here is part of the blurb and it also has lots of testimonials from people who have had alot of success in using their skincare cream.

Medically Trialled -Steroid Free Apis Mellifera Skin Care Cream was the first in our range of therapeutic creams to be developed by Company Director Robert Davidson who used the cream on his own psoriasis with great success before offering it to the public.
Mr Davidson worked for years to extract and isolate the substances bees produce to keep their hives disease free and he blended these extracts into a cream that appears to both boost the immune system and increase the body’s natural healing abilities.
The two extracts - Extract A (organic hydrocarbons) and Extract B (proteins) have also been found to contain Coic Acid; which has antifungal properties, Caffeic Acid; demonstrated to be effective against tumours, bacteria and viruses as well as having anti-inflamatory and immunomodulatory properties, and Linoleic Acid; used to treat such conditions as eczema and acne.
In 1999 in the first controlled medical trials of the Skin Care Cream, the Wellington (New Zealand) School of Medicine concluded that: "Cautious support can be given to the claims of the manufacturer that Apis Mellifera Skin Care Cream is effective in the treatment of eczema".The cream has also successfully passed cytotoxicity tests.

Try Tazorac by Rx only. You have to talk to a dermatologist.

Answer 7

My father had a bad case of it, and it never really went away. It would flare up and subside, good days and bad days. To my understanding, it's a form of arthritis of the skin, and there is no complete cures. There are ways to relieve it, like mud or oatmeal baths.

Answer 8

Hi, I actually read this really good article about natural care for psoriasis, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure:

Answer 9

sounds funny but try using Crisco..... try it for a couple of days and see what happens. I use it and it rubs in just like lotion. keeps the spots moist.
