whats the best thing for psorises?

Answer 1

Most of my life I've been free or almost free of psoriasis, but twice I've had a very serious outbreak following a throat infection (strep throat is a known trigger, although the predisposition to get psoriasis is linked to heredity).

The first time, 11 years ago, I bought a sunbed and used it regularly. Improvement was immediate, but the blotches kept coming back, and I was still occasionally using the sunbed nearly 3 years later. I didn't like doing this, because of the skin cancer risk.

The second time, nearly 2 years ago, I went down the hospital treatment route. It involved steroid creams and UVB treatment, and again, improvement was immediate. But at the end of the course of treatment the blotches were just coming back worse than ever, and the hospital doesn't let you just go on burning yourself for ever. So I really was at the end of my tether; it was all over me, getting worse by the day, and the large areas were horribly itchy.

I knew that eczema, which is a totally different skin complaint, responds well to food intolerance tests followed by individualised diets, but when a friend mentioned that psoriasis was also related to what you are eating, I didn't believe her. Eventually, however, I went to a "doctor of natural medicine" and he did a comprehensive food intolerance test. I found it was no wonder I had a problem: nearly everything I was eating was setting off my immune system.

I had to give up caffeine, dairy products, nuts, yeast, etc. The psoriasis stopped getting worse, and then after a month there was a slight improvement. After 6 months there was a definite improvement, and now I am nearly enough clear that I've pretty much dropped the diet.

For what it's worth, that's my experience. The skin specialists do know that psoriasis is linked to the immune system, but they say that tests have been done on foods & psoriasis and no link was found. Well, in my opinion that doesn't mean there isn't a link; every person has different food intolerances and so you'd get no definite results if you just tested if wheat, for instance, made psoriasis worse.

It's spelled psoriasis, and you really would need to go to a dermatologist and have them diagnosis and treat it, because treatment of it usually depends on the severity of it.
If it's really severe and covers a mjor part of your body (usually the back ) they may prescribe a pill for it, but if it's confined to a small area then they might just give you a topical cream.

Answer 3

This stuff actually worked for me and 2 others that I know. It's called skin zinc. Look it up o the web. I don't know if it will help you, but what do you have to lose? No I don't sell it. I was just out of options. The UV is supposed to help, but it also increase the chance for skin cancer.
