No cures I am afraid. Clean creams like Dovonex may help, or you may need to revert to older messier treatments like tar or dithranol.

The only thing that works is the immuno-suppresant tablets but they have major dogdey side effects. Thats why I wont go on them. This kind of psoriasis (that never goes away) is not a stress thing or a food thing it is simply down to an overactive immune system a genetic disorder where your immune system actually attacks your own skin. Hence the immuno-suppresant tablets. New stuff going on at the minute with younger people who are presenting with this type of psorasis is tonsillactomy--check the web.

I have a friend who suffers from a mild form of psoriasis. We live in Cyprus so the mild climate helps but he also swears by a cream his acupuncturist recommended (some people by the way use acupuncture as form of treatment - seems to help if you're highly stressed which can exasperate your skin condition). Cream is called Plazan and they do a type of regenerating gel cream. May not work as well for you but worth a try?

sorry babe no cure...you may find something that helps and may get rid of it...BUT with in time it will come back and maybe worse...the sun used to help me but last year i burnt myself without realizing and it has now mad it worse on my legs...have been told about little fishs somewhere abroad that nibble it all away...may come back again.....dead sea may help...i have used loads of things i have so much cream potions and lotions i could start my own company.i had puva some years ago...i wasnt impressed when i found out the side affects...skin cancer and cataracts!! so it might help get rid of it but you end up with something else you dont want...
do you find if you cut yourself that turns to psoriasis as well??
its part of my life now and i just have to live with it
good luck
i also have eczema and everything that goes with it,hayfever and asthma

theres not really any miracle cure out there...your body can't absorb and digest essential fatty acids properly....try taking flax seeds or cod liver oil. licorice and cranberries can help with it. Try taking a bath with Dead sea salt in it. Talk to a nutritionist as well, they can determine if you have low stomach acid, or toxins in your liver, which both aggravate psoriasis.

i had it severely tried all the stuff off the doc but nothing works if you dont mind trying alternative then look on the redbush tea website (looks like a tea bag site) read the info about the stuff they use for helping skin conditions it does work and you have nothing to lose by looking

Sunlight and seawater help. Eat more fish too and get less stressed, in otherwords, go to the Algarve!
