Hi,\n\nI don't think there is a cure for this disease but there are several drugs available and coming through the system that may help ease the problems or slow them down.  \n\nTry these links:\n\nhttp://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/2100/2112.asp?index=8877\nhttp://armor.typepad.com/bastardsword/2004/08/potential_cure_.html\nhttp://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=35418

I use Cortisone 10 Plus.  It also has moisturizers in it.  I have been lucky this year.  Mine has not been bad at all.  I don't think there is a permanent cure for eczema.  The only thing I can suggest (since your case seems to be rather severe), is to see your doctor and have them refer you to a dermatologist.  Only a dermatologist will be able to give you the best treatment for this condition.  Thankfully, mine is very mild, but in your case, a dermatologist is the only answer.  Please see one.  You'll feel a whole lot better.

Witch hazel and cortizone are the two most effective treatments. Surgery may sometimes be necessary in extreme cases. There is no CURE as they are just lesions which can be caused by many different things.

Type   natural treatments for psoriasis  on a web search  .  \n\n I think I read that taking the Essential Fatty Acids in capsules helps  or maybe Flaxseed Oil.    It would be better to check online or some health books and get to the source.

yes - the chlorine and other additives can really aggrivate psoriasis.  My dad suffers and he bought a filter for his shower head (called nature's miracle or something) and he said it really helps.  try a healthfood store and see if they can get you a water filter, if not try a hardwear store for a water filter for that purpose.  Or you can get a fitler for all the water in your house...

For a real treatment, your doctor must examine you and prescribe what he feels will work.\n\nThe condition cannot be cured, but it can be treated and hair can grow back. You may be prescribed Anti-inflamitory drugs, 12 weeks of Rogaine or Psoriatec. \n\nOther things you can do are eat a well-balanced diet. Hair growth is a vitamin- and mineral-dependent process. People who do not eat a well balanced diet often have problems with hair loss. \n\nReduce stress. Many people with alopecia have had recent stresses in life, such as work, family, deaths, surgeries, accidents, etc.\n\nGood Luck!

I understand that they have not found any cure for it yet. Let me give you the information on the details of existing treatments...\n\nToday, there are many different treatments to help control psoriasis. Some can be found over the counter at a drugstore, while others require a prescription from your doctor. \nNo single treatment works for everyone. The goal is to find a treatment that works the best with the fewest side effects. Your doctor will look at what kind of psoriasis you have and recommend the treatment regimen that is best for you. \n\nTopicals\n\nTopical treatments—agents applied to the skin—are usually the first line of defense in treating psoriasis. Researchers believe psoriasis occurs when faulty signals in the immune system cause skin cells to grow too rapidly, creating dry, red, scaly patches called lesions. Topicals slow down or normalize that excessive cell reproduction and reduce inflammation (redness) associated with psoriasis.  \n\nDoctors tend to first prescribe topicals and/or phototherapy for mild to moderate psoriasis because they may be more appropriate than other treatments, such as systemic medications, which affect the entire body. \nThere are many effective topical treatments. While many can be purchased over the counter (OTC), others are available by prescription only. \n\nAnthralin\nThis prescription topical can be very effective in treating plaque psoriasis. It does not work as quickly or as thoroughly as superpotent topical steroids, but unlike steroids, it has no known long-term side effects. \n\nDovonex\nA form of synthetic vitamin D3 approved for treating psoriasis, available by prescription. It slows down the rate of skin cell growth, flattens psoriasis lesions and removes scale. Dovonex also can be used on the scalp and for nail psoriasis. \n\nSalicylic acid\nAlso known as "sal acid," salicylic acid helps remove scales and is often combined with topical steroids, anthralin or tar to enhance effectiveness. Available in both OTC and prescription forms. \n\nTar\nCoal tar is available over the counter in crude and refined forms to treat mild, moderate and severe psoriasis. For decades, tar was viewed as the "traditional" treatment for psoriasis, and it remains a safe, effective and readily available treatment option for many people. \n\nTazorac\nTazorac topical gel and cream (also known by its generic name tazarotene) are FDA-approved for treating plaque psoriasis. Tazorac is a vitamin A derivative and is also known as a topical retinoid. It is available by prescription. \n\nTopical steroids\nCorticosteroids, ordinarily called "steroids" by doctors and patients, are routinely used to treat psoriasis. Topical steroid medications can be very effective in controlling mild to moderate psoriasis lesions. They are easy to use and work relatively quickly. Most are available by prescription. \n\nOther OTC topicals\nInformation about bath solutions, moisturizers and nonprescription medications that can be used to moisturize, soothe, remove scale or relieve itching. \n \n\nPhototherapy\n\nPhototherapy involves exposing the skin to wavelengths of ultraviolet light under medical supervision. Treatments usually take place in a doctor's office or psoriasis clinic. However, it is possible to follow a treatment regimen at home with a unit prescribed by your doctor. The key to success with phototherapy is consistency.  \n\nUVB phototherapy\n\nUVB treatment involves exposing the skin to an artificial UVB light source for a set length of time on a regular schedule, either under a doctor's direction in a medical setting or with a home unit purchased with a doctor's prescription.\n\n\n Home phototherapy\n\nPUVA is an acronym for psoralen (a light-sensitizing medication) combined with exposure to ultraviolet light A (UVA). UVA, like UVB, is found in sunlight. By itself, however, UVA is not usually used to clear psoriasis. It is relatively ineffective unless used with

Psoriasis, like most skin conditions, is never something that will go away.  Like HPV, or warts, it will stay in the body even if there are no physical signs.  I suggest picking up some oil of oregano (18.99) at GNC and put 2 drops of affected areas.  It may get a little warm sensation, but it will help if you have outbreaks.

I've been fighting psoriasis (very NON-localized!) for about four years now. \n\nBecause I sunburn so easily, my dermatologist has told me I should probably avoid it, but he usually tells psoriasis patients to get direct sunlight on the affected area for about 15 to 20 minutes a day.  \n\nI've used several prescription ointments (Donovex [vitamin D] and clobetasol propionate [a topical steroid]) with only moderate success.  Cyclosporan capsules gave me sleep apnea (which, fortunately, stopped when I quit taking them!). Light therapy (before I found my current dermatologist!) made a "crispy critter" out of me and made the problem about five times worse! My new doctor gave me a prescription for Soriataine pills, which I haven't had filled yet. I read about the side effects and decided to try something else first!\n\nAbout two and a half weeks ago I started using "Cocoon" Total Body Rejuvenating Emollient from AminoGenesis ($44 a bottle - lasts me about 12 days putting it on both legs and both arms, and assorted other spots twice a day!), which is expensive until you compare it to the prescription drugs usually used for psoriasis! It feels wonderful going on, smells nice, absorbs well, and isn't sticky. It works very slowly, but it's completely non-toxic (Hallelujah!), which cannot be said for ANY of the prescription meds I've used or been encouraged to try. My spots and patches are paler than they were when I started, and I'm starting to see small areas of skin that are almost normal skin color on my lower legs (where my psoriasis is so thick it looks like I'm wearing burgundy knee socks!). I'm going to give this stuff at least a 2-month trial. It is keeping my skin moisturized enough that I've not had a problem (so far) with flaking. It does nothing for the itching, but then neither have any of the other things I've tried! I ordered it from http://www.dermagirl.com  ... they offer free shipping and free samples with every order ... and their prices for this are the same as half a dozen other sites I checked. \n\nGood luck! Let me know if you find something that works wonders!!!

No single treatment works for everyone. The goal is to find a treatment that works the best with the fewest side effects. Your doctor will look at what kind of psoriasis you have and recommend the treatment regimen that is best for you. \nFor localized disease, recent data support the combined use of topical corticosteroids with a noncorticosteroid agent (topical calcipotriene or tazarotene). For generalized disease, UVB phototherapy is an effective treatment that permits both rapid control and long-term maintenance. Use of low doses of acitretin (25mg qd or qod) potentiates both UVB and PUVA therapy. For patients unresponsive to phototherapy or who are not able to come on a regular basis, methotrexate is an effective alternative. Cyclosporine is useful, especially for short-term use in settings of acute exacerbation, but should be replaced by other modalities for long-term maintenance. Other agents that have a place in treatment of generalized psoriasis include hydroxyurea and mycophenolate mofetil.

Hi there,\n\nWell one thing is for sure... Psoriasis will NEVER go away. Once you have it, it can go away for a little while or get less, but there is no cure for it.\n\nBut there's good news as well: take a bath and add some seasalt from the Dead Sea, you probably can get it at the local chemist. It helps a lot for me. Then I've got a preparation from my doctor to put on it, but I only use it if necessary. It is based on woolfat... so the skin can't dry out. That's very important.\n\nI know a lot of people with psoriasis... and they all use different products and methods to keep it under control. I guess you'll have to find you own. Good luck and I hoped this helped.
