Psoriasis question?

Question

I have psoriasis, and I am wondering, the doctor perscribes me creams, but also, is there anything I can buy or use to help relieve or temporarly get rid of it? I know it's permanent or whatever but is there anything that helps? that doesnt need to be perscribed?

Answer 1

I had the problem for years, the result of my job that required me being around harsh chemicals like Acetone and MEK that "defatted" the skin on my fingers.

What worked for me years ago was an over-the-counter medication I found at the Drug Store that contained "coal tar"...yes, coal tar. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it right now, but it really worked better than the prescribed meds (including Prednisone) I was given by dermatologists.

EDIT:
Ok, look for (over-the-counter) Exorex (it contains coal tar).

Eventually, the prescribed medication that finally cleared it up that I got from a dermatologist was called "Modified Tripel Gel" SA 2% in Estar Gel/Lidex Gel 1:1...this also contains coal tar. Ask your doctor or dermatologist about it.

You don't say where on your body you have it but, if your skin is dry, cracks and maybe even bleeds a little, you can get instant relief from using Cordran Tape (Flurandrenolide) (comes in many widths) that you just remove the backing and put over the injured area (requires a Prescription). It also helps in the healing process.

Good luck!

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/PsoriasisTreatmentq95V 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.

Psoriasis is a disease that takes place when the body’s immune system mistakenly believes healthy skin cells to be enemy cells and starts to produce many more new cells to replace these cells. This is the reason why there is no cure for psoriasis and medications applied to treat psoriasis are only able to remove the symptoms temporarily. Don't go the "cream route", it's only just a waste of time and money. Been there Done that!

You need to read "Psoriasis Free For Life" by Katy Wilson if you want to cure your psoriasis for good. Available online also @ http://www.psoriasisforeverfree.com It's a book that shows you how to cure psoriasis naturally in a few days. I cured my psoriasis permanently in 6 days after reading this book. Good luck!

I have it too on occasion. Find a nonperfumed moisturizer and use it lightly all over once you dry off after showering. As bad as this sounds when I had my last outbreak I went to a tanning salon, not for color, just for some UC rays. Ask your DR about light therapy. Once you do get rid of it remember to always moisturizer after showering. Thats how I maintain mine. I no longer tan, that was just a three month thing and it helped me because my insurance company wouldn't pay for the Dr prescribed light treatment. Good luck.
