Answer 1

my husband had severe psoriasis and he used vasleline petroleum jelly or icthamol ointment on his. he had it real bad on his legs arms and head. He bathed frequently in a wam bath and made sure he put the vaseline on heavy and rub in as well as you can. Also he would pick opff theheavy scabs after a bath while it was loose. any tar based cremes work well.

Answer 2

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 Revolution?

Answer 3

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/psoriasisCures2015SFzI 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.

Answer 4

he needs to see a dermatologist. ive tried at least 10 different things and nothing worked until finally i found one... its a steroid so you can't use it al the time. you just use it until it goes away then stop using it until it comes back. it is called Dermol. it comes in a scalp solution as well as a cream. it should not be used on the fact, or private's as it could cause scaring.
you can buy it online through those over seas pharmacies.
he should still see a dermatologist though. maybe they have new treatments available that will work for him.

A zinc cream works for me, I use it for my face. I thought of it when looking at my dandruff shampoo and wondering if I could have a zinc deficiency(head and shoulders uses pirythione zinc).

I find it works great, I use it at bedtime every night, keeps my nose flake and redness and itch free.

You can find it with diaper rash creams at pharmacies.
