I also have psoriasis.  Depending on how flared-up you are, the things that may provide relief can be different.  The biggest thing to keep in mind is that psoriasis is not a skin condition, it's an immune system condition.  Creams and lotions will ease the outward symptoms of itching, burning and redness but I have yet to see anything that cures psoriasis and several of the medications they have out now possess rather frightening side-effects.\n\nHere's some herbal/holistic recommendations.  Flax seed oil taken internally can help increase the amount of moisture your skin can maintain.  Psoriatic skin is immature and shouldn't be at the surface at all.  Think of it as a healing burn.  It can't retain moisture nor does it provide the barrier that healthy skin does against infection.  My daughter takes fresh dandelions fro the yard and rubs the yellow part of the flower on her patches until they are stained with the oils from the flower.  For her, this calms the patch for several weeks.  It doesn't last as long for me, but it does calm down the most obnoxious of my patches.\n\nShowering is very important.  Do not use blazing hot water and don't scrub too hard.  Use a glycerine soap, or even an oatmeal soap which will get you clean without stripping the little good oils your skin is producing.  Wear loose clothing made of natural fibers if you can.  I carry a doctor's note any time I get a new job because usually any assigned uniform sends me into a flare-up.\n\nIf your lesions get cracked and infected, use tea tree oil to clean the area (don't use around eyes or in the genito-anal area).  Tea tree is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral.  Then apply a salve that contains calendula.  Calendula will soothe the cracks and the salve base will act as a temporary barrier to keep out further infectious elements.\n\nHope you feel better soon!

It might be worth checking out if it it could be psoriasis. There is a lot of info on the web, www.psoriasis.org and others. But of course it's better to arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can.

My son had it on his head. The doctor gave us this prescription for this stuff made mainly out of peanut oil.  We rubbed it on his head and he wore a plastic cap to bed. In the morning we washed it out and combed his hair & all the psoriasis just literally peeled off his scalp.  We had to do it a few times when it got bad.  He also had to use a prescription called "Dovonex" (not sure if I spelled that correctly"\nI do know too that if you arent wanting to go to a doctor you could try Scalpicin. It makes your head not itch. Also using Nuetrogenia shampoo.

I know you said excluding toothpaste, but have you tried the new Luminous?  I was in the same boat, and it was suggested to me, and I am very happy with the results!\n\nSorry!

There are plenty out there on the market now. One of the best ones I have used it Avon's new "Hair Lightening Gel". \nIn as little as three days you will notice a big difference. \n\nAlso waxing is much better than shaving---not only does it last longer but it helps exfoliate dry skin.

There is no allopathic (modern) cure for psoriasis! The medication will only be able to limit or contain the condition.\n\nHowever, homeopathic medicines are known to be very effective against psoriasis. So a homeopath will help!

I have used the foam for about 4-6 months when my psoriasis on the scalp was bad. I haven't noticed any side effects. I don't know about long term effects though.\n\nIs the psoriasis only in the scalp area or all over? If it's all over, you may want to look at the new biologics drugs like Raptiva or Amavive.

I have not used them for eczema or psoriasis myself but know of others who have. This is what they said worked for them.\n\nMy daughter has eczema.  The products she can use are:  ABC baby wash, ABC body oil (not the skin conditioning oil because of the nut oils), and the Intelligence Body Lotion.  These products do not make her itch or the irritated eczema spots 'burn'.  \n\nI use cleansing gel to wash with and then probably 3-4 times a week I use the Awaken Sea Salt Scrub on my shins and use body lotion.  When I have really bad spots that won't clear up I also use the skin conditioning oil - for those that are allergic to nuts the ABC Baby Oil doesn't contain nuts. \n\n\nI hope this helps!

UV Light is really good for skin conditions like psoriasis, you can ask you doctor to reefer you for it, or you can buy a small portable face tanner - my dad used one for his psoriasis and it worked really well, but talk to you doc first to see how long/often you should use it

Psoriasis can be controled butthere is  no way to predict  or prvent recurrences. Local application, photo theraphy, Medicine and ultraviolet irradiation, warm climate  to controll relapse, , Removing trigger factor if possible, are some of the measures.
