I have had psosriasis since I was 15 and have had all creams and moisteriser the doctor has gave me but nothing works best thing is if u get to see a dermatologist u want cyclosporin it works within two weeks but u only get the tablets for 6months then they will try u on different ones don't have light treatment if they offer it u it clears u for a week and then it comes back for the shower or bath use Oilatum shower u leave it on a min and then wash it off it stops itching and neutropenia moisteriser keeps it hydrated for 24hrs aloe Vera sends mine even more itchy and comes out in a nettle rash I've heard averno moisteriser is good but send mine sore and itchy again let me no how u get on if u ever want to talk I'll give u my Facebook

I've had psoriasis for over 10 years. My whole body was covered in flakes and huge psoriasis patches to fight which I used dozens of creams, lotions and when I bitterly realized that none of them alleviated my condition even at the slightest, I just gave up trying. I was very desperate. About 2 years ago my dad bought me this Psoeasy cream along with the lotion and after a 3-week use 80% of my body psoriasis symptoms were gone! Those products are incredibly effective in psoriasis treatment and since they helped reduce my symptoms which, as I thought before, couldn't be reduced with anything, I'm certain they'll do a great job with yours, too.

Thank you for your help. Does the treatment for Psoriasis change if it is the Guttate form that I have ?
Hey,
Thankfully I think healing the intestinal lining works generally to clear psoriasis.
Damage to the intestinal lining (following antibiotics, gluten etc.) allows unwanted substances to pass from the intestines to the lymph and bloodstream, which the body tries to get rid of through the skin.
Healing the intestinal lining involves
i) removing / stopping pathogens that damage the lining,
ii) avoiding foods that cause damage to the lining, and
iii) taking foods that heal it.
i) Depends on the individual and types of pathogens. Garlic is generally helpful against many of them, herbs such as oregano and thyme can help and other things such as nigella seeds can be helpful. Senna (small doses only to avoid griping) and Psyllium (in plenty of water) can be helpful.
For ii) vegetables are supposed to be good - particularly leafy vegetables, and seafoods are generally good, whereas meat and sweet foods are not good to have while healing the intestines. John Pagano's experience was that nightshades (tomatoes, tobacco, eggplant, white potatoes, peppers, paprika) should be avoided as well as shellfish. John Pagano's diet suggestions in general are good with some modifications (for instance dairy is allowed by John Pagano, but this may damage the intestines in some individuals, John Pagano recommends taking olive oil regularly, but this could also result in intestinal damage, also it may be better to avoid wheat entirely for some time, even for those who are not celiacs, and wine (as with other alcohol) should also be avoided).
For iii) slippery elm bark in water and safflower in water (American yellow saffron) have been used with success by John Pagano (you can do your own research on other things - for instance things like nettle tea and oregano are meant to be helpful for instance).

Hi my names Gerry i'm 47 years old and ive just come across this forum, i'm on my 3rd outbreak of guttate in 27 years.The first one came when i was 20 i remember feeling ill then a week later i started getting spots all over my body i went to the the doctors and he said i had scabies but it just got worse to the point that it was on my face,then 6 months later i finally got to see a skin specialist who told what it was ,he gave me eumovate which completely cleared it.The next time i got guttate i was 31 i had virus which left me bedridden then a week later it started all over my body but the eumovote didnt do anything until it had settled down and within 3 months it was gone.The 3rd outbreak started in April after i had the worst sore throat ever, after 4 weeks its all over my body,started applying eumovote after six weeks it started to disappear but last week got a bit of a sore throat now its returned and the eumovate is not making any differance !
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and looking for some help. My daughter who is 10 has recently been diagnosed with guttate psoriasis and I am happy to say we've managed to get on top of this as far as her skin is concerned. Our problem is that she has a really nasty patch in her hair, st the base of her scalp. It's not dry and flakey but very wet, weepy and unfortunately quite offensive smelling. We've used dovobet and this worked but as soon as we stop it comes back. We've had various creams and antibiotics but it still comes back. Have any of you had anything similar or can recommend any treatment to try? Thank you

Does anyone know how to get rid of the light pink patches after the psoarisis is fading?
To JulieA.
Hi I'm new to this forum but wanted to tell u that they patch in your daughters hairline sounds like what i suffered from. It's linked to a form of scalp psoriasis. I had it behind my ears for 5 years! They were constantly weeping, bleeding or crusty and sore. I kept in touch with the GP about it but its like infected psoriasis. So your body has to work it out if its system...like if someone is prone to cold sores or ulcers, etc. She did give me fucibet/fucidin at one point when they cracked and became more infected. The smelly patches are a sign of infection/ bacteria.
Good luck sorting it out. 😊

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and this thread is my first post. I suffer with recurring guttate psoriasis. I'm 40 and on my 2nd helping, both after strep throat and 4years apart...i too do NOT have any tonsils.
I've been given dovobet steroid ointment, which has initially started to clear it but I'm waiting for the UVB treatment and an appointment with the nurse-led psoriasis clinic.
I had UVB treatment b4 about 20yrs ago for my 'normal' eczema/psoriasis (as I've had it since birth) and it did improve. I also found the psoriasis was more manageable during my 2 pregnancies. I've tried all creams and potions under the sun and as we all know, different creams work 4 different people at different times. I've had success with Aveeno but as a daily moisturiser it's no good in a crisis/flare up. I use dermol cream and hydromol in shower/bath.
I've read about avoiding "nightshade" veg and have kept food diaries in the past... its all trial and error. My normal skin routine was ok managing my plaque psoriasis until this guttate flare up... really annoying and gets me down.
Glad to have found this forum.
Need to get it back under control b4 holiday in a month!!!

Why is it that if you get a flare up you are guaranteed to find it mirrored the other side of your body . Not I the exact some area but near has. I am convinced it has something to do with your tonsils. I was told by a family friend that her son had psoriasis and he had tonsillitis and had them removed m. Guess what his psoriasis disappeared

Hello,
Im new to all this. Im 28 and I am currently suffering from a bout of guttate psoraisis. I first had psorasis 2 years ago, which cleared up quite quickly. However around a month ago I had a bout of tonsillitis which in turn brought about this guttate issue. Its all on my front, some in my back and arms. I have tried dovonex & eumovate, which has worked in the past, but.not so much now. Anyone help regarding remedies, and timescale please?

I have had psoriasis since I was 3, in now 54. I was in hospital for 6 wks when I was 15 because it was so bad, itchy, painful. I had tonsillitis 4 wks ago and my psoriasis is as bad now as it was when I was 15. I went back to my Drs yesterday, have now got enstilar which I have to say was amazing for me the first time I tried it and asked dr to chase up a hospital referral that I have been waiting for 14 wks now. I am so sick of this condition. I have always had plaques, now after sore throat it's changed to guttate, tiny little pimple like spots all over my body even in places I have never had it before, can't wait to see dermatologist🙏
