Answer 1

Ok you're not going to like the sound of this, but it would be best to keep off of alcohol or at least not drink it often. it might be best to go for a while without it and see if there's any results.
Like it or not, Green vegetables really do help, cabbage and brussel sprouts are supposed to be very good for keeping it under control, they must have something in them I think or something.
You must drink lots of liquids, in the way of water or tea etc. to keep yourself hydrated because dehydration can make it a lot worse, you would probably want to drink more than what the Recommended amount is.
You'll probably find wearing clothes that "Breathe" are much better for you too.
You might find Air Conditioning makes things worse
Sorry but some sugars are known to make it worse
It really isn't the end of the world, you can cover it up with clothes and things, if you have it on your face you might find that some makeup can make it worse or even unbearable! (Me being a guy, I've never tried the makeup thing but only heard that can happen)


You might find that dry heat is better than humid heat - This is more apparent for Eczema rather than Psoriasis.

Answer 2

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/TreatmentsPsoriasisVkFg 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 for life. may regress now, but then it comes back again later. what you should do is continue applying the cream, best to use is clobetasol cream 2x daily for several months until you see some improvements. avoid hurting yourself and too much stress as these will aggravate the condition. stay out of the sun as much as possible. you may also add prednisone tablets to your daily regimen but if this does not help you in half a year, try using methotrexate. as for now, make do with the cream for a year and if no improvement, talk with your doc and ask for an alternative.
