For those who don’t know what it is, psoriasis is a skin condition where your skin gets dry and flaky, you develop red patches, and it gets really itchy. My Dad has it really bad. It’s common in our family, and now my elbows are dry and itchy. I put lubriderm on it, but is there a way to avoid it?
Hello, Daniel!
As researches show, it’s normal to have psoriasis if you have cases in your close relatives, due by genetical predispositions.
Well, as you might know, there isn’t a cure for psoriasis yet, but the best way to avoid a worse case of psoriasis is to have a healthy skin and a healthy body, in general. A lot of researches say this, because Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease: your own body atacking itself. So, if you mantain your body with a perfect (or nearly perfect) health, your Psoriasis will not advance to a higher level.
So, if I can help you a little with my knowledge of some months researching about this disease, I recommend you to take a good moisturizing cream for you skin and use it correctly. There are a lot of different psoriasis creams on the web (my site talks about one that I think it’s great, by its natural ingredients), but you can also try for other general creams, if you see they help your skin to stay away from Psoriasis.
Diet is very, very important here to, as you will never be able to be healthy if you don’t eat correctly. I recommend a great blog about Tommy’s case, where he is curing himself only by its diet. You can see my site and Tommy’s blog on the source of this question.
So, resuming, it’s this: maintain a healthy skin and body, and your Psoriasis will not evolve.
Keep going and never give up, Daniel! I hope I have helped you a little with this answer.
