There is no cure but here are some things you can do at home to help.\n\nHome Treatment\n\nSkin care at home can help control psoriasis. Skin care and treatment may include using creams or lotions, pills, baths or soaks, and ultraviolet (UV) light. Skin care for psoriasis includes the following:\n\nTake care of your skin and keep it moist and lubricated. \nGently soften and remove psoriasis crusts by putting cream on the crusts and then peeling the loose crusts off. Removing crusts may help creams and lotions to be absorbed in the skin. However, this should be done very carefully so that the skin is not irritated. \nFollow instructions for skin products and prescribed medications. It may take a period of trial and error until you know which skin products or procedures work best for you. For mild symptoms of psoriasis, various nonprescription medications, such as aloe vera, may be soothing. \nFollow your schedule for sunlight or ultraviolet light treatments. \nSeek information or counseling from your doctor. Psoriasis day care centers may be available in limited locations. To find a center near you, ask your doctor or contact the National Psoriasis Foundation at http://www.psoriasis.org.

NIOXIN Cleanser (shampoo) and Scalp Treatment (conditioner)\n\nIt won't regrow, but it will stop you from losing any more hair. It's not a chemical you have to put into your body. And it smells REALLY sexy. And it's not too expensive. You can buy it at almost any hair salon.

I am assuming you are asking about Psoriasis.  You didn't state your age or how bad your condition is.  There are mild cases (just a few spots) to Heavy cases (covers much of the body).  \n\nMy grandmother has Psoriasis and was taking shots of Enbrel for the condition but they told her the effects on her liver had to be watched very carefully. If she had been much younger they would not have allowed her to take them due to the liver damage.    \n\nPrior to that she had always treated with tar shampoos and topical creams.  When the condition would get completely out of hand they would give her a cortisone shot.\n\nUsually your best place to start is with your doctor or dermatologist.

I have the same thing. My dermatologist reccomended Eucerin, or Cortaid. If you are in a dry climate, also get a humidifier. They are really cheap and work alot. best wishes, and you can contact me if you need anything else.

NIzoral shampoo is a bit more expensive, but if the other "cures" don't work, try it for about five days in a row, then about once a week to control flaking.  It can be purchased over-the-counter.

If normal dandruff shampoos aren't doing it for you, you may have more than ordinary dandruff.\n\nTry a coal tar shampoo, available at pharmacies and most grocery stores. This will help with mild cases of "psoriasis" and "seborrhaic dermatitis".\n\nGood luck!

You might try this.  A friend of mine has really bad psoriasis all over her body.  She started using sea salt as an exfoliant on her skin.  She just got her body wet and rubbed the salt on her effected areas and the psoriasis started going away much better than the cream her doctor gave her.  It might be worth a try.

NEUTROGENA-Daily therapy dry scalp t gel shampoo! It is the only thing that works. Give it a few days to work though, and after that, use it every other day!

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.

If it is psoriasis, it should respond to anti-fungal cream (not anti-bacterial).\n\nIf this does help, check out the yeast link at www.hufa.org for more info on the candida albicans fungus.

I have had seborrheic dermatitis ever sice I was 18. I have several tips that have helped me tremendously. First You have to get plenty of sunshine But make sure you use sunblock. Also stress will make the patches worse. There is no cure for seborrheic dermatitis but you can keep it under control. Also my doctor prescribes metro gel for me. There are 2 kinds of metro gel. Make sure you get the one thats for your face. Then you can get cortizone 10 over the counter. After you have showered Take a small amount of the metro gel & a small amount of cortizone 10 & mix them together real good & apply it to the patches but dont get it in your eyes. Also try to use the smallest amount of the cortizone 10 cause my doc says that it could cause scarring if you use too much. Another trick I have learned is I find the cheapest powdered milk & each day when I bath I add this to my bath water. I love how it makes my skin soft. Also the best treatment for your scalp if you have the patches there is nizoral shampoo. I prefer selsun blue though cause its cheaper & it smells better. I hope this helps.

For skin lotions, try Cetaphil.  For scalp, try scalpacin.  These may not be 'natural' remedies, but they do work.  \n\nIf you're wanting natural remedies only, try Tea Tree Oil.  It will usually relieve itching both in scalp and on the skin.

there is no cure just treatment ...Many treatments exist such as cortisone, steroids, but a doctor must prescribe them. A very effective over-the-counter solution is coal tar, which has been used for more than 100 years to treat psoriasis

that happened to me & after 3 tests by 3 labs it turned out i was using hair products with "coal tar" in them. if he scratches his head does he have a pastey substance under his nails? if he does, go to a healthfood store and get a bottle of pure jojoba oil, add 4-6 drops to a quarter size amt. of jojoba shampoo & apply it to the scalp & leave on over nite & shampoo in the morning. it removes the dead skin & oil buildup that's smothering the pores, making the hair fall out prematurely. it worked great for me!
