Treating Psoriasis
Currently, there is no cure for psoriasis. However, many different treatment options are available to help control the symptoms of the disease. Not every treatment is right for everyone—work with your doctor to find the one that's right for you. Your doctor will consider your medical history, lifestyle, and the severity of your disease to determine the best treatment options.
Mild to moderate cases are often treated first with topical treatments, such as steroid medications. However, as the disease becomes more severe, treatment options such as phototherapy, systemic medication, and new biologics are employed.
Topical treatments, which are usually used for more mild forms of the disease, include creams or ointments that are applied to affected areas and rubbed in. The benefits of topical medications include ease of use, a generally high tolerance, and low incidence of side effects. While these medications may be administered at home, and in some cases are available without a prescription, they should be used under the supervision of a doctor.
There are limitations associated with topical medications. How well a particular treatment works can vary for an individual, and medications that were successful can lose their desired effect over time. To combat this, many dermatologists have their patients cycle through different topical medications and change treatments before one becomes ineffective. Alterations in a treatment regimen, such as changing medications, should only be undertaken on the advice of your doctor.
Some topical medications currently being prescribed include:
Anthralin
Coal tar
Corticosteroids
Dovonex® (calcipotriol)
Emollients and moisturizers
Salicylic acid
Tazorac® (tazarotene)

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!

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!

Cure psoriasis starting today - even if your doctor or dermatologist says "it's impossible!"
I've just followed a guide called psoriasis free for life that completely cured me of this debilitating and embarrassing disease in less than a month!
Remember, this will not only treat the symptoms that you do see:
the red, inflamed itchy skin.
The silvery scales that seem to erupt for no reason.
The burning or bleeding that occurs around your joints.
The cracking, oozing and painful patches on your skin.
But it also treats the underlying cause of psoriasis - the part you don't see - the actual immune system deficiency that causes these itchy patches to appear and scale over.
For more information, check here : http://Psoriasis.naturallysaver.com .
You can definitely get back your life, your confidence and your self esteem!

My uncle suffered from psoriasis all over his arms and knees. When he turned 70 his son gave him a 3 months stay somewhere in the canary islands. Returning to Norway, his skin was like velvet for about three weeks, and then back to basic pain. He ended up mooving to that warm climate 9 months of the year, and has no psoriasis. He is now 80 and well.

Your husband got caught up in the moment with his infidelity, you set out to intentional hurt him, or so you say. I've been at this for almost 20 years and you did what you've always wanted to do and with a guy you already had your eye on. You didn't use your affair as "revenge". your play was cold and calculated, and half way started before you ever knew he cheated. As a result you husband has done the one thing men can do when they get hurt, shut down emotionally towards you. The chance that you will recover from this is slim, very slim. In fact only 1 in 80 marriages will make it past female infidelity. The fact that he thinks you set out to hurt him makes it even tougher. He will never see you as the same, no matter what he says. Now his mindset is to punish you everyday. What you did was horrible, but you already know that. Honestly the only thing you can do is hang in there and hope he comes around, not likely, or move on. Be prepared if you choose the second. He will have a replacement for you in a matter of weeks. It will be a point of no return. Now, if you want any chance of making it work you have to 1) take ownership of your affair. This mean not blaming it on his one night stand. Which you and I both know isn't true. 2) allow him time to heal, and do whatever he asks of you. Answer all his questions openly and honestly. 3) stop putting pressure on him to be with you sexually. Simple do thinks that you know he finds sex and wait for him to make the move. He will at some point. I can help you more in depth it you would like to email me though yahoo Good luck
