Hello

My girlfriend has had it for 16 years and believe me she has tried most ointments and potions. Whenever she cuts herself, the healing wound turns into a patch of psoriasis - so much so that you can set your watch by it the moment you see the first sign of blood! She has tried many many expensive creams with little or no effect. Then one day, a fellow sufferer she met through work said to try Clovate Cream. She wasn't even going to bother trying it, until I said to her that I had some given to me by a dermatologist for something totally different I suffered from.

Now I know you should NEVER give somebody else your prescription drugs/creams, and mine was 2 years out of date as it was!!, but she used it "sparingly" and I mean sparingly on just one of her hands (her hands, elbows, knees are worst) twice a day for 7 days (her friend said 4 days should show progress). The idea of treating just one hand was that we could see if progress was being made. And by heck, the redness and flaking disappeared (leaving a faint pattern but hey, she wasn't complaining !!!

We can get clovate crema, as it is known here in Spain, over the counter without prescription but I am not sure about putting it on the face as it is a steroid cream I think. But worth talking to a Dr about at least.

By the way, her "near perfect hand" lasted for 4 weeks but it is coming back as it is air-con time of year here now and that plays havoc with psoriasis for my girlfriend (along with chlorinated swimming pools and washing up which I have to do all of)!.

Hope that helps ;¬P

I have psoriasis from head to toe and my mom does too. Mine is mostly not noticeable now b/c I use Skin Cap. You can buy it on the internet. I also use psoriasis shampoo that I buy at Wal-Mart (Dermarest) and that seems to help also.

Hello all - near the a person who have psoriasis and eczema problem (dried apricot) is suitable food and drug for him .20 -15 gram dried apricot must put in the glass and add hot water after 20-15 minute eat two time a day in the morning fasting befor breakfast and after noon

I had psoriasis for about 6yrs and it was horrible, i googled and did some hardcore research and i found a healing balm called Mayan Magis healing balm, it worked wonders and soothes the skin very well. Try it cuase im pretty confident it will help.
Take Care

Go see your doctor or preferrably your dermatologist. My dermatologist perscribed 60mg Dovobet ointment. It is a steroid cream but it is very effective in taking away the itchiness and redness. It does not have a smell.

After about 1 week using it 2x per day, my skin was normal again.

The only down side is that if you have a tan, the patches of skin where you treated the psorisis are a lot lighter than the rest of your skin. But your skin is smooth.
