My Mum has Psoriasis on the back of her head at the base of her hair line for many, many years. She tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it to no avail, but somebody once suggested Royal honey. Mum got some cream and rubbed it in 2 – 3 times a day and within a few months it had gone completely. That was over 10 years ago and she hasn’t had it since!
Re; Eczema, you could buy E45 cream over the counter or similar Aqueous cream. Your hubby will need to rub this on 2 -3 times a day to be effective. I found that rubbing an ice cube (covered in a flannel) over the patches helps before putting the cream on, as Eczema flames up when your hot, so this helped me to stop scratching it.
Good luck.

Hello there. It is possible to have both eczema and psoriasis but not very likely. However these diseases are often difficult to tell apart and very often the same remedy works for both. I suggest that your husband should try the herbal anti-psoriasis cream/spray combo from Champori.com for his scalp and face: it works better than anything else for my scalp psoriasis and it is a good moisturizer as well. Try it: it comes with money back guarantee, so if it doesn’t work – it’s free.
Best,
Bernadette

That sounds like psoriasis on his face as well. I had psoriasis for years. I got rid of mine by removing dairy from my diet. I don’t know if it was the hormones in the cows take that causes skin to over develop, which cause the psoriasis flakes and all. But I seriously worked.
Also try cucumin/turmeric supplements. They really help as well. And Omega 3 foods do wonders for the skin. Avocados, fish, pomegranate.

Looks like you have a lot of choices here, but here’s one more. I use some wash and oil for my son’s eczema behind his ear. It works really good. My 3 year old brings me the bottle of oil to put on his ears when it gets itchy because he knows it helps. There’s a shampoo with tea tree that works really good for psoriasis/sores on your scalp. I use it and love it!

I have been dealing with psoriasis for 32 years and the best medication that I have used is Dermarest from Wal-Mart for $6. Believe me I have tried all the expensive medications and this works better.
For the scalp I have discovered that Head and Shoulders Intensive Treatment Dandruff Shampoo works well and cost about $5.
Unpredictable and irritating, psoriasis is one of the most baffling and persistent of skin disorders. It’s characterized by skin cells that multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. As underlying cells reach the skin’s surface and die, their sheer volume causes raised, red patches covered with white scale. Psoriasis typically occurs on the knees, elbows, and scalp and can also affect the torso, palms, and soles of the feet.
The symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the type you have. Some common symptoms for plaque psoriasis — the most common variety of the condition — include:
Patches of red, inflamed skin, often covered with loose, silver-colored scales. These patches may be itchy and painful and sometimes crack and bleed. In severe cases, the patches of irritated skin will grow and merge into one another, covering large areas.
Disorders of the fingernails and toenails, including discoloration and pitting of the nails. The nails may also begin to crumble or detach from the nail bed.
Patches of scales or crust on the scalp.
Small areas of bleeding where the skin is scratched.
