Answer 1

While there is no cure for Psoriasis, T-gel shampoo helps fight it tremendously well! I use it myself as well as my daughter. She only has it in 1 spot so she uses her favorite shampoo all over her head and the T-gel on the one spot towards the end of the shampoo cycle.
It has 0.5% Coal Tar & menthol for soothing it as well. If you lather up and let it set on your head (and neck) a few minutes it makes a huge difference. Make sure its T-gel by Neutrogena (original, extra strength or stubborn itch) and not T-sal.

No drugs nor can any miracle creams will work as they are only treating the symptoms, . The true facts of psoriasis is known, despite the belief of many people that the cause of psoriasis isn't known. Has been known since the detection of Acrylamide in foods in 2002. Calcium Protease is another name for psoriasis, it is given that name because the high content of calcium found in psoriasis skin(many times what you find in normal skin). "You could say it is a food allergy" Having Psoriasis means that autoimmune system is malfunctioning, not coping with what you are eating. Yes by what you eating.
Psoriasis isn't viral, nor contagious.

Answer 4

Psoriasis is a chronic lifelong condition. There is currently no cure but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.
There can be substantial variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments. Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to finding the most appropriate treatment for their patient. The decision to employ a particular treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity. The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, comorbidities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken into consideration.

Salicylic acid
Also known as "sal acid," salicylic acid helps remove scales and is often combined with topical steroids, anthralin or tar to enhance effectiveness. Available in both OTC and prescription forms.

Tar
Coal tar is available in topical, shampoo and bath solution forms. Tar can help slow the rapid proliferation of skin cells and help reduce inflammation, itching and scaling. It can also be used in combination with phototherapy.

Other OTC topicals
Information about bath solutions, moisturizers and nonprescription medications that can be used to moisturize, soothe, remove scale or relieve itching.

Prescription topicals
Anthralin
This prescription topical can be very effective in treating plaque psoriasis. It does not work as quickly or as thoroughly as superpotent topical steroids, but unlike steroids, it has no known long-term side effects.

Dovonex
A form of synthetic vitamin D3 that slows down the rate of skin cell growth, flattens psoriasis lesions and removes scale. Dovonex also can be used on the scalp and for nail psoriasis.

Taclonex
This prescription ointment contains calcipotriene (the active ingredient in Dovonex) and the potent steroid betamethasone dipropionate. The calcipotriene slows down the rate of skin cell growth, flattens psoriasis lesions and removes scale, while the steroid helps reduce inflammation and itch.

Tazorac
Available as a presciption gel or cream (also known by its generic name tazarotene), Tazorac is a vitamin A derivative and is also known as a topical retinoid. It can be used on the face, scalp and nails.

Topical steroids
Corticosteroids, ordinarily called "steroids" by doctors and patients, are routinely used to treat psoriasis. Topical steroid medications can be very effective in controlling mild to moderate psoriasis lesions. They are easy to use and work relatively quickly. Most are available by prescription.

my mother developed psoriasis about 3 years ago...basically the best thing to do is to lay out in the sun everyday or go to the tanning salon...sounds funny but it really does work....

Answer 6

There is no cure. My best friend has it and gets alot of relief from tanning. The UV light can dry them up and make them less noticable. You can also get a silver cream from a Dermatologist.
