Advice needed please!

Try sorion cream from amazon it's not cheap but it's worth a try, no one I live with says it smells bad but I don't like the smell of it so don't wear it as much as I should but it really cleared me after one use

Hi Gemma I have suffered since the age of 21 and I am now 45. Have tried all the lotions and potions, spent a fortune on natural rèmedies etc as I am sure a lot of sufferers can appreciate. The only thing that cleared it was UV light treatment at the hospital but this only lasted short term and a person is only allowed so many minutes per lifetime due to skin cancer as highers the risk. I can list what has helped me. I cant guarantee that this would help you and or others as everyone responds differently but this has helped me 1. Colonic irrigation sessions 2. Cutting out red foods. Tomatoes and white potatoes really aggravated it 3. Taking a Selenium supplement 4. Fake tan. Strangeley this calmed the areas down 5. Omega 3 supplements or eat food that is high in it 6. Takkng a luke warm salt bath. Make a mixture of olive oil and rape oil and apply then wrap the area in clingfilm and go to bed 7. Getting out in sun...i can only do this in the privacy of my own garden but it clears 8. Take a multi vitamin for skin,hair and nails 9. I meditate for 10 to 15 minutes every day 10. Drink 3 litres of water a day. More on days that I go to gym 11. Sit in the steam room at the gym. I have done items 3 and 4 only for the past 3 months and it has really improved. Water intake definetely helps and so does colonics Also look at your diet as this is very important and can really help. Poor diet equals poor skin and aggravates any skin condition Dont be surprised if your skin gets slightly worse before it gets better Let me know if anyone wants more info on any of the above Hope this helps Ax

Hello everyone. I am Gracie, 27 from Philippines. I have gutate psoriasis for almost 5 years now. I am experiencing a major outbreak particularly on my legs and in my body. I used diprolene and dermovate ointments months ago. These two have good results butbas usually, psoriasis is a very stubborn disease that it keeps on coming back. Last month i saw my derma and she suggested mw to use daivonex. But days after using daivonex, i think my psoriasis worsen. It becomes dark spots and and some appeared to be bigger now. Does anyone of you can advise me if i should stop using daivonex? Does anyone had the same experience as mine? Pleasw help me because im getting hopeless now with my condition. :( Thanks.

Hi gemma please don't give up on your nursing!!! Go for your dream you have the chance. As for psoriasis I have tried lots of different treatments. I have found that diprosalic was the best ointment for me after years of using steroid ointments. Light treatment was really good, but only lasted briefly ( during which time I felt normal I have to say ). All I can say is that something that works for one person maybe doesn't work for another. Psoriasis is very very random. X

Hi Gemma, there are so many people out there & on this site that understand & feel your pain. When I was at my worst I felt so alone & isolated which added to my anxiety & feeling of helplessness. I felt I was on a treadmill of creams & medication & nothing worked. The side effects overwhelmed me . I read an article in the paper & then saw a programme on TV about a book called "The Good Skin Solution" by Shann Nix Jones. I read the book & thought I'm going to give this a go. I discussed this with my Dermatologist who supported my decision. For the first time in ages I felt I was making the decisions that would effect me, I was in control. It hasn't been easy, 6 months later I'm able to fit into my shoes & walk, I'm able to use my hands, I feel alive again. I'm also eating healthier & have stopped drinking alcohol. Everyone is different but don't give up, open your mind to other options, it's worked for me. Please get back to me if you need further support. Take care Gemma x

I really appreciate your message. I think diet is a very important aspect of any treatment. This disease makes you feel wretched and it's easy to succumb to methods of self gratification when you feel down! I only have on my hands but they are almost always sore and sometimes bleed. I have problems to Open bottles, turn knobs and pick up small items. My fingers feel stiffer and it's probably like arthritis ! I've tried creams like dovobet but the only time my fingers improve my s when I am on holiday relaxing and getting sun! I feel pretty miserable and just want to get away! I type and use the pic every day in the Office and even that becomes difficult.i have to use a stamping machine and it's really scary for me that I could catch my fingers. I don't even know if this is psoriasis or excema! The diet and no alcohol is perhaps the way forward.
