I have psoriasis on my face, elbows and scalp

Hey all I suffer from it bad on my face and scalp. Yesterday I started a strict diet and basically took Afew bits from different success stories I had read. In the past no creams or diets or changes I have made have ever helped long term. This past week my skin has been so red and flared it was the worst it has been in a long time.started my diet yesterday and I ate walnuts, mackerel, wild rice, asparagus and brown bread whn I woke up this morning the flaring had really reduced!! I will keep you posted if anyone is interested lol

Hi, Just started using aloe vera directly from the plant on my face and it disappeared within 1 day, yes it came back but used it again and it disappeared once more. Using it on other parts now, and hoping it works there too, I've had p for 20 years, used various products, wish I'd started using this years ago, just that I'm starting to take my p more seriously now.

Yes

I recommend ointment that has :- Clobetasol propionate. Salicylic acid. Methyl paraben. Propyl paraben. Ointment base. In 4 or 5 day you'll be fine. Ok thanks

I have suffered from psoriasis for over 30 years, though recently the patches on my body have cleared though I still suffer with it in my fi

I too used to use Alphosyl HC until they stopped making it , which made me look for other creams and remedies. I have in the end stopped hunting after I started taking a tea spoon of virgin black seed oil every morning and evening. its not a quick cure all, but it does seem to work, and if there is a flare up in my eyebrows or hairline I also massage some in. I also never wash my face with soap even if it is fragrance free, use a fragrance free face wash.

Suffered with acute psoriasis on my forehead (cleared) Bad spots covering my back (clearing) Odd spots on arms and legs (maintainable)

I have the same patches as you as well as a couple of odd bits on the side of my face. I purchased Angels Of Bare Skin from Lush for £6.40 and within a week my forehead was clear. It is 100% natural which was great as I'd been using harsh steroid creams like Dovobet and I can't recommend this enough as it won't wreck your skin in the future.

I never wear dresses. It's jeans or slacks to church & every where else. I don't mind cause it's more comfortable & I've never been a "fancy

Hi Mike P, Where do you buy this goats milk moister & cleanser? Some place like Supper Supplements that sells different vitamins, minerals, & coconut creams?

Mike P, I found a site where this family raises herds of goats. Some of the goats give 2-3 gals. per day! Then the family makes 4 different kinds of soap & various other items. They also hand pour chap stick. These items are said to help eczema & psoriasis. To find out which soap you should use, they sell a gift pack of 4 half bars for $15. The site address is goatmilkstuff.com Maybe that's a little cheaper than what you are getting. The family is from Bolivia I think but not sure. Let me know how you're doing if you try it.

P has decided to attack my face. Nothing noticeable yet but I can feel bumps on forehead, a pronounced bump on side of nose by eye & some redness under my nose. When I breathe through my nose (I am fond of staying alive :) my breath irritates the skin under my nose. Anyone else have this problem & what do you do for it?

Curcummin is working for me its all but gone!

Ive had psoriasis in many areas in my body

Hello, Ive had Psoriasis for many years and a friend told me about this product called Soratinex which was amazing. I bought one set and my psoriasis cleared after 2 weeks of use. Apparently is is natural and has no steroids whatsoever. The site I ordered from is www.soratinex.eu. Give it a try and hope it helps you too. Regards mark stilman

i'm using dovabet on my face too - my doctor said i shouldn't too - does anyone know why i shouldn't?

Since 2001, tried uvb and creams

It does seem to spread when fading in other parts. On the face is a problem. I sometimes use a vit D moistureriser and it helps but for me it only works on my face

Hey folks - my first post, but I noticed a few suggesting to use Dovobet on their face. Mezlizt asked why this is not a great idea and I thought I'd share. Dovobet includes a strong steroid and is a common psoriasis prescription - it's great on arms and legs because these areas have thicker skin, but strong steroid gels on your face can lead to bigger problems down the road. They can encourage a rash around the applied area, thin your skin and make it easily bruisable, and long term use around the eyes can risk cataracts and glaucoma. You can try using weaker steroids like a hydrocortisone ointment or cream, but I'd try to limit that as well. You can read more here: http://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/facial-psoriasis/

My daughter has psoriasis on her elbows and regular lotion would help with the itching a little bit but once we started using dermalmd psoriasis serum, her elbows cleared right up after a couple of uses!!

Guys stop using Dovobet in your face, it will cause permanent damage to your facial skin!

I have tried so many expensive creams for eczema on my face and hand. I'm a server so I wash my face and hands all day at work and they get really irritated. Foderma serum made a visible difference within a day, and got rid of the discomfort. After a few days it completely cleared up. If you're having eczema problems you should definitely try this serum.

I would recommend keeping away from steroid use on the face except for the short- term. I used steroids on my face years ago for psoriasis on the nose and although I have stopped the steroids I have a reddish tinge on my face down both sides of my nose. It looks like sunburn. I can cover it with a moisturiser and foundation if going out for short periods eg the evening but for longer periods it does not work. I found the old-fashioned coal tar based creams the best but even these need to be the weakest you can get

Hi Alex, I would suggest to try Tacrolimus cream. You will need it prescribing by your dermatologist or GP. Applied thinly it works very well and helped clear mine up a treat. Keeping eyebrows and hair short is also good. I am bald so I find that that keeping my hair clipped and moisturising my scalp have worked wonders
