Skin Care Treatments

My friend’s child came home from school with nits, and I was at her house that day, so I have been exposed to it. Now with psoriasis on my scalp, I was wondering what I could use to make shure that I don’t get them, and that won’t hurt my head. Chances are that I didn’t get them, but I want to be safe. I would prefer to not use chemicals if at all possible.

There are quite a few totally natural remedies available that readily kill head lice. The ones we recommend don’t contain any chemicals, we believe chemical treatments are both dangerous and ineffective.

Suffocation is an effective method where oil based products (i.e.: conditioner) are used to block the breathing holes and kill the live lice. The real trick though is to find natural products that will kill both the live lice and their eggs in one fast effective treatment.

Remedies containing Neem Oil are known to be highly effective as Neem interrupts the growth and reproduction of the head louse. Neem’s insecticidal properties are widely recognized now and the oil is commonly available at your local health food store.

Good luck.

Every morning when I get up, but still in bed, there is this "burning " feeling in both soles of my feet. Once I start walking, the feeling disapppears. I wonder if this is related to my psoriasis ?

Sounds like poor circulation. But I’m not a doctor….you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. Poor circulation is sometimes an indication of something more serious so don’t delay….hopefully it will just be minor.

good luck

hope this answer helps:)

I am a wine drinker, and have been for about 3 yrs now. For the last year and a half, I have been dealing with psoriasis (on the scalp and body) and no medical treatments have worked. I am allergic to Sulfa medications. Do you think that b/c wine has Sulfites in it, that my psoriasis could be an allergic reaction?

Hi, the connection between wine and psoriasis is not clear. You can easily find out if wine triggers your psoriasis by staying away from it for a week or two.
For psor. treatment you can try one of the natural remedies available on the Internet (just google "natural treatment of psoriasis") and take your pick. Some of them do actually work. For my psor. I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and they then stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori is available online without prescription and comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn’t work for you – it’s free.

I have psoriasis on my scalp. I want to know if it is safe for me to use hair gel/spray/whatnot. Also, is it okay to color your hair if you have this skin condition? If the answer to the above is "no," then once my psoriasis has cleared up for a bit is it safe to begin using these things again, or will I be banned from hair products for life now that I have it?

Scalp psoriasis appears as dandruff, and treatments can leave your scalp more sensitive. There are a variety of products available on the market that are designed to reduce the amount of skin flakes and the scalp itching. Try consulting your doctor about it just to be on the safe side.

These are separate skin conditions, and while I have been diagnosed with Eczema since infancy, I believe I may have a mild form of Psoriasis.

Both rarely are rarely "active" at the same time, but sometimes they are, there is a noticeable difference between the patches of skin, even though they are usually close to each other, even overlapping at times. Have I just done too much research on skin conditions, or is it possible to have both Eczema and Psoriasis?

My mom is an elderly lady and has a bad case of psoriasis and its getting worse. I have never seen it this bad.

Denorex knocks the daylights out of psoraisis, but it is a little harsh, and not always a good choice for daily use, but its a good one to use just to get things under control. After an initial blast from Denorex, Selsun Blue with conditioner might be a good choice for daily use.

I have psoriasis and been diadnosed with psoriatic arthritis and it really killling my back and neck the doctors here only prescribe drugs which i dont want, is there any other way to get by with no pain?

I have Psoriatic Arthritis. Initially you need to make a health log. A diary and every night before you go to bed, write down what you did, what you ate and on a scale of 1-10, how you feel. Then after six months go back and read what you wrote and see if you can link up any ‘foods’ to how you felt. I found out that if I have a fresh orange juice every morning for breakfast, the third morning my joints were Hades. I cannot go anywhere near citric fruit, so have to get my vitamin intake elsewhere. Moreover ‘refind’ foods are not good can stomach them, but pay a price, silly things like white sugar. As citric acid is a preservative and sugar is located in many of our foods that we buy, I have to be careful. Next what to take, especially like you pain killers do wonders for the pain and my brain does not function! I tried a few diferent brands of anti-inflammatory drugs, until I found one that really suits me, been on the same one now for 20 years. I then read about Eskimos never succumbing to Arthritis, because their diet is ‘fish’ so what they term anti-inflammatory food. However I could not eat fish everyday, so opted for Omega 3 oils. I saw a Rheumatologist, who started me on Evening Primrose Oil and life really improved. Got a dog, went walking three miles three times a week, then joined a Pilates Class, really got my muscle tone up. Exercise produces endorphines, which are natural pain killers and it works. However been warned, exercise can be addictive, especially as you are self medicating, making your own pain killers.
I am still here some 30 years after being diagnosed with Psoriasis and 20 years after the Arthritis, so I guess I must be doing something right! However their is no ‘quick fix’ and the answer is really in your own hands.

I am not pregnant yet, but planning to become this year. I have psoriasis for 16 years, it is an active form, I have to use my medicine every other day. Unless I will get those red spots all over my body and face. I use Clobetasol (liquid), external, applying to every spot.

Will the benefits outweigh the risk to my unborn child? This is a question you should ask yourself and your doctor. There is no way of knowing how much of the corticosteroid is being absorbed into your blood stream. Corticosteroids can cause birth defects.

I would think that having spots for a year would be a small price to pay for a healthy baby.

I have it on my fingers and the skin breaks up and bleeds. It has been diagnosed by a consultant as a hybrid type of psoriasis. Need help!

Psoriasis is treatable with topical steriods, but they only suppress the symptoms, they don’t treat the cause. Stress is a major cause of psoriasis outbreaks and anything you can do to reduce stress in your life can help reduce the symptoms.

I use an essential oil mix to treat my psoriasis: lavender, bergamot and neroli in jojoba oil. It isn’t a cure, but helps keep it under control without using steroids. All three oils are useful in reducing stress and treating skin conditions.

Diet can also affect psoriasis. Alcohol, caffeine, sugar and other stimulants can make it worse. Reducing the use of stimulants, doing a colon detox and eating organic foods can help.

I have psoriasis on two nails and now it is coming on two more fingernails. I wonder is there anything out there that helps it, I have an appointment with a dermatologist in two weeks.
