What's a good treatment for psoriasis?

Question

I have psoriasis and there are good days and bad days. What successes have you had with treatments? Which were easiest?

Answer 1

Depending on the severity of your psoriasis, treatment will vary.

For mild psoriasis, topical OTC brand like dovonex and other creams are easilly available.

For moderate psoriasis, your dermatologist might put you to a combination of treatment. Example will be UVA or PUVA and topical medicines.

For severe psoriasis, your dermatologist may prescibed some stronger medications like methotrexate, neotigason or even biologics (Enbrel, Raptiva and REmicade).

Since no permanent cure has been found to treat psoriasis yet, it is wise to stay away from factors that may trigger your psoriasis. These includes alcohol consumption, staying late at night and sleep deprivation and STRESS. PUtting these stress factors at bay will surely help. Try realxing as much as you can. Meditation is FREE and will not cost you a penny. Keep your skin moist all the time by using moisturizers such as unscented lotions, VCO, Olive oils, and other naturally processed oil that are not derived from petrochemicals or animal products. HAve a good disposition in life by accepting your condition and find comfort in having a support group like your family, friends, peer-to-peer support club, or even an online community of people with psoriasis. I have put up one like this for people with psoriasis in my country. you are welcome to visit it anytime and be part of it and meet other psoriatics with positive disposition in life. http://www.mfipb.com/index.php?mforum=psorphil&act=idx

Good luck and Godbless.

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/psoriasisTreatmentoEeq 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 3

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.

Answer 8

I have psoriasis for over 30yrs. I found

The tablets after 2 months cleared most of the redness and scaling

Answer 9

I was sat here late last night rubbing the Dovonex in and pondering why they have NOT managed to make this cream 'easier' to apply. I use it when I remember to use it. Anyway I am taking evening primrose oil and find that out of everything I have tried in 30 years to be the best. It takes a long time to kick in but when it does, the P really starts clearing.

Answer 10

Because I am allergic to the medicines usually used( tar-based and steroids) my dermatologist is going to start me on UV light treatment. The lamp is very expensive, must wear goggles (can I tolerate chemical composition - latex or elastic or plastic? ) I intend to see my doctor one more time to get answers to my questions. There are no creams, lotions, or moisturizers that don't make it worse for me. Also in my case wearing loose fitting clothing helps. Lukewarm water feels good but doesn't help . Cotton clothing feels best in my experience. Good luck.
