Learn About Is There A Psoriasis Treatment That Works.

Q: Psoriasis Treatment?
I have had a problem with psoriasis for 5 years. It is located on the base & sides of my nose and above my upper lip. I had been using my sister's corticosteriod medication, but that is no longer an option. My main problem is the redness in this area; scaling is minimal and it doesn't itch. I have tried vaseline, lotion, and a tar substance. The vaseline and lotion have minimal effect if any. And I have experimented with tar a couple times; each time my facial psoriasis is redder and sore. Does this mean it is working? Not working? Is there a non-prescription treatment for my psoriasis, especially to get rid of the redness?

A: If the rash is around the nose and upper lip.,... It looks like seborrhoeic dermatitis and not psoriasis. Just do a web search for seborrhoeic dermatitis and see the pics. Does your rash look like that. If yes just apply nizoral shampoo to wash that area everyday. It will decrease. If it doesnt .... meet the dermatologist

Q: Can laser from psoriasis treatment injure my inner ear?
Yesterday, I had my first laser treatment for psoriasis and they did my ears. Last night I had pain inside my ears. Today, I still have lingering pain inside one ear. Anyone know if the laser could hurt my inner ear?

A: Hi First you should consult your doctor regarding the lingering pain in your ear. As with any medical procedure, excimer laser is not completely without risk. Because the excimer laser has the ability to ablate the skin, it is possible that a mishandled laser could cause some superficial tissue damage. For this reason, you should choose your cosmetic dermatologist carefully. Since you have Psoriasis, getting relief for your skin is a top priority. While there is currently no cure, you can still get relief with other less risky type of treatment such as applying psoriasis cream. There is a new natural product being promoted which is made with FDA-approved active ingredient. The product from Revitol Skin Care Product is called Dermasis Psoriasis Cream and it works to help control your skin symptoms in a smooth, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly—and will not stain your clothes or skin. The product unique formulation of ingredients not only soothes and moisturizes your skin, but its active ingredient also helps control the scaling and flaking associated with Psoriasis to help your skin to heal naturally.

Q: Anyone know of a successful psoriasis treatment?
My boyfriend has a small patch of what looks like psoriasis by his ear. We got some of this coal tar gel called Psoriasin but it doesn't seem to be helping. Anyone with this have any helpful tips or treatments?

A: If it is in fact psoriasis, you probably need steroid cream. Should get it checked out, though, because it might be something else (like skin cancer).

Q: What is a good over the counter treatment for psoriasis?
I won't be able to see my dermatologist until January, and my psoriasis is spreading. My cream has run out. I'm using T-Gel shampoo for my scalp. I don't have anything for the psoriasis on my skin though. What is a good over the counter treatment that can keep it under control until January? I've had psoriasis for a couple of years. I used a topical medication from my dermatologist, but that ran out and she said she has to see me before I get another one prescribed.

A: HI Sylvie Here are some ideas on how to heal the issue. Cause Psoriasis is metabolic in nature and can be triggered by environmental or stressful conditions, poor diet, flu-like conditions, the administration of penicillin, and nutritional deficiencies. Patients with psoriasis are also a higher risk of rheumatoid diseases. Psoriasis can be caused by food allergies, essential fatty acid deficiencies, low digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid levels, vitamin B complex deficiencies, emotional stress, illness, drugs (such as beta-blockers, lithium, and chloroquine), poison ivy or oak, skin damage, and several infections, bacterial or viral in origin. ------------------------------... Natural Cures Aromatherapy: The following essential oils are recommended: bergamot (to help heal skin plaques), lavender (to reduce excessive itching), melissa (for irritated skin), jasmine (for dry sensitive skin), geranium (for dry irritating skin), and sandalwood mysore (for dehydrated, inflamed, and sensitive skin). Diet: Screen for and eliminate all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat a varied diet of organic, whole foods, rotating foods as much as possible. Eliminate wheat and wheat products for 1-3 months. Consume seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, and each day, on a rotating basis, take one tablespoon of olive or flaxseed oil, and be sure to drink plenty of pure, filtered water. Organic beef, venison, poultry, garlic, onions, parsley, organic plain yogurt, and sauerkraut are also recommended. Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically can soothe symptoms. Herbs: Combine equal parts of burdock, sarsaparilla, and cleavers tinctures and take one teaspoon three times a day. Silymarin (milk thistle) is also helpful for psoriasis due to its positive effects on liver function. Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Psorinum, Sulfur, Graphites, Cuprum met., and Arsen alb. Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. *Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations. Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: apple and carrot; beet, cucumber, and grape; and beet, carrot, burdock, yellowdock and garlic. Lifestyle: Mild cases of psoriasis may be helped by daily exposure to sunlight. Frequent exercise is also recommended. Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful: evening primrose oil, omega-3 essential fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin B Complex, vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, folic acid, lecithin, zinc, and a multimineral supplement. Taking hydrochloric acid (HCL) with each meal can also be of use. In Europe fumaric acid treatment in the form of fumaric acid tablets, ointment, lotion, and scalp lotions is widely used to reverse symptoms of psoriasis Topical Treatment: Apply seawater to the affected skin several times daily. Linseed or avocado oil, aloe vera gel, and/or capsaicin cream applied topically can reduce the scaling, thickness, redness, and itching. Best of health to you

Q: Is there a safe treatment for psoriasis? how long does it take to cure ?
My finger nails are getting deshaped and detached from the nail beds, there is a powder formation underneath the nails, there is also a white scales formation on one of my thighs.This has been diagnosed as a type of psoriasis. Is there a treatment which is certain and free of side effects?

A: No, at this time there is no cure, or treatment that is free of side effects. If you are looking for something like an aveno oatmeal bath for some help with the dryness, that may help, but there isn't anything that is curative at this point.

Q: Does long term treatment of psoriasis eventually cure it?
I have palm psoriasis in both hands. They say that there is no cure for it, but long term treatment could eventually make the symptoms fade away for some time. Does it mean that it could be cured with proper treatment but for a long time?

A: Hi, Sadly not all areas of the world have the internet, and can not find out how psoriasis is cured in Japan. Yes stress is the root cause of eczema in many cases. I have been helping a friend get rid of his psoriasis’ on his skin, it covers about 2 square feet of his arms and hands. He has been spraying on 2.5 PH water for about a month now, and it is working. He is also drinking 9.5 PH water. His wife has MS, and is also drinking the 9.5 PH alkaline water, and is doing much better. You can get free alkaline water - place a wanted add on http://craigslist.com Place a add to ask for 8.5 PH drinking water, and hope that the person can also make 2.5 PH water. Drinking the alkaline water will help, even if you can not spray the 2.5 PH water on your skin – as shown in the video below. Here is a demo video to watch for the eczema cure as seen in Japan. Sorry but the hospitals in the United States and Europe are not this advanced at this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxLW-HKgQzU&feature=PlayList&p=262C30FDF046ADAB&playnext=1&index=4 Allergies to food include shellfish, garlic, and others. Stop eating things like cheese, then milk products, then anything brewed (beer, yogurt, breads made with yeast). When it goes away, then you have some idea of what you should stop eating. Or use the process developed in Japan, and eat what you want to. Exposure to UV light can also help many who have eczema. Yes walking out in the sunshine, without UV protecting sunblock on will expose your skin condition to UV light. Good Luck !

Q: What is the treatment for Psoriasis disease?
My neighbor is suffering from a serious psoriasis disease on her skin and head. The disease causes continuous itching, hair losss and dryness. It also transfer to all of the body and result in wounding her body. Different chemical treatments are ordered by a skin Doctor and that chemicals couldn't heal the disease even though she used it for more than six months. Any one who knows the solution for such disease may help us by giving answers.

A: I've experienced dozens of treatments. The best, safest skin creams for the face are dovonex and protopic. The best for scalp are clobetasol or tar shampoos (safe). Another great (safest) option is phototherapy, with this unit another patient I know has, called the dermapal. It is very effective and safe for spot treatment: http://www.phototherapystore.com/ Usually insurance covers all or most of the cost.

Q: Psoriasis Treatment Centers in Bangalore?
Hi, Can anyone suggest me a good center for Psoriasis Treatment? I heard of Dr.Bhatras is good for hair related problems but not for skin related ones.

A: you can ask that information from a dermatologist. Psoriasis ( I heard, is an incurable disease). To "cure" it, you just follow you doctor's direction, good diet and stay in a weather that your skin prefers (I prefer warmer places, cold places like air conditioned room makes it worse). You can also search the internet and YOUTUBE. There are many suggestions there like doctors, products to use or diet schedules, etc. Just type anything about PSORIASIS (e.g. psoriasis treatment). sorry, this is all i can contribute. (By the way, when I learned that I have psoriasis, I didn't wait for a chance for it to get worse. I stopped eating oily foods, etc., or sleeping so late at night cause it makes the skin dry and chappy and reddish etc.)

Q: what will be the best treatment for psoriasis?
hi can anybody suggest bset treatment for psoriasis.what will be diet restrictions? is there any good medicine in normal english medicine?

A: http://www.psoriasis.org/netcommunity/treating_psoriasis Topical treatment Bath solutions and moisturizers, mineral oil, and petroleum jelly may help soothe affected skin and reduce the dryness which accompanies the build-up of skin on psoriatic plaques. Medicated creams and ointments applied directly to psoriatic plaques can help reduce inflammation, remove built-up scale, reduce skin turn over, and clear affected skin of plaques. Ointment and creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone (Topicort), fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues (for example, calcipotriol), and retinoids are routinely used. Argan oil has also been used with some promising results.[32] The use of the Finger tip unit may be helpful in guiding how much topical treatment to use.[33] The mechanism of action of each is probably different but they all help to normalise skin cell production and reduce inflammation. Activated vitamin D and its analogues are highly effective inhibitors of skin cell proliferation. The disadvantages of topical agents are variably that they can often irritate normal skin, can be time consuming and awkward to apply, cannot be used for long periods, can stain clothing or have a strong odour. As a result, it is sometimes difficult for people to maintain the regular application of these medications. Abrupt withdrawal of some topical agents, particularly corticosteroids, can cause an aggressive recurrence of the condition. This is known as a rebound of the condition. Some topical agents are used in conjunction with other therapies, especially phototherapy.

Q: Psoriasis: Does evaluation for treatment usually require testing?
I'm not working but have to see a dermatologist for inverse psoriasis so I can only afford ~$200. Does evaluation for treatment normally involve further testing or can a doctor prescribe something for me after the visit? ? - That's great but you didn't answer my question: does evaluation for treatment usually involve tests?

A: To begin with, psoriasis is now considered to be an autoimmune disorder, in which the body's cascade of inflammatory mediators is triggered off by an unkown antigen(s). One of the side effects of these inflammatory agents is to cause the skin cells to hyperproliferate. Hence the treatments are directed against the production of those inflammatory agents. In inverse psoriasis, the lesions tend to be in the "sensitive" areas, so that generally, milder topical agents can be used successfully. Agents such as Protopic ointment and Elidel cream have been used, often with good results. In these cases, I see no reason for blood testing to be done. However, if there is no response to topical therapy, and systemic agents (pills or shots) have to be undertaken, then blood tests are necessary, usually to check up on your liver and blood counts.
