washing powder

Hiya, I think it depends on the type of psoriasis you have. I have awfully bad Guttate psoriasis, brought on i think by a throat infection i had 4 weeks ago. I had clear skin for about 10 years before that, and i constantly changed my washing powder, which had no affect to my skin, it remained clear. You should maybe try changing your washing powder, see if it helps, i think persil or Ariel do a washing powder with Aloe Vera in it. I do find though the material of some clothes irritates. Try stick to lighter clothes aswell and avoid heavy cottons and denim. hope this helps.

I use Asda own brand liquid, non bio. It was recommended to me by someone whose aunt works with kids with all kinds of physical problems - they've found it's least likely to cause skin problems etc to flare up.

Hi I had psoriasis for 7 years really bad. It was all over my hands and bad also on legs and elbows. I am now totally clear of it just by changing my washing powder!! Honestly I've tried everything in the past! I only registered on this site after searching washing powder and psoriasis and seeing your post. I joined so I can reply. I only got psoriasis after I got my own house and started buying my own washing powder although I did not connect this until last month! I was using Daz for some time then surf. I started using the new Bold liquid 2in1 lavender I'm so chuffed. No itching and my hands cleared up within two weeks, elbows too and legs took about four weeks. Liza x
