For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Despite having been prescribed just about every known steroid cream, as well as ultra-violet light treatment, the only thing that ever really helped my psoriasis was something recommended by another AnswerBanker right here a few years ago. It's Alphosyl, which you can buy over the counter in pharmacies. Now, my skin problem affected only some of my fingertips, hence more of an annoyance than a major affliction such as you seem to have. Nevertheless, I think it might be worth your while to risk the small cost in order to find out. Good luck...whatever.
My father successfully intersperses his usual creams with one that was recommended years ago - his own urine, mixed with glycerine to make it stick a bit.
Homeopathic calendula cream can be amazing on all types of skin problem, relieving itching & improving many complaints.
Personally, I would never put baby oil on myself or any baby - I treated, maybe even cured, my son's condition with olive oil.
i worki na health shop we recommend that you firslty cut out the like of ham and bacon and orange juices and like slarjunkie said calendula is very effective also infant starflower cream is a main seller for this skin problem and a thicker protective layer for night is something called pokeroot- definately worht a try. to furhter help sasparilla is a blood purifyer used for acne psoriasis and other skin ailments this can be taken in tea tablets or tincutres- all worth a try- good luck
If none of the other remedies listed here helps, speak to a kinesiologist if you have one in your area. The Kinesiology Federation can provide you a list of local therapists or you could ask in a health spa or somewhere similar. A kinesiologist will find out what caused the psorasis in the first place and will treat it accordingly. They will also be able to test you for possible food intolerances.
I had large patches on my the front of my lower legs and I found a condition called Mochaccis Grandula (dont know if this is the proper spelling) - anyhow I treated this with anti - bacteria soap (Cital) and then applied coconut oil. Results - I am stilled scared but I have no rash or itchiness any longer.
