14 year old in need of support.

Change your diet. Believe me. Its honestly probably the only thing that will help in the long run. I struggled with psoriasis on half my body and had severe scalp psoriasis that really made my life so miserable and a living hell. I tried everything doctors prescribed. I tried all kinds of shampoos and stuff like that. Nothing. If only it just made it worse and irritated it more. Stop eating all kinds of sugar, milk products, processed food, additives in food and drinks...read on the label on everything you buy to know what you consume. Eat clean food. Avoid eating much bread and meat to. It may sound hard if you eat all this...but believe me, if I could do it everyone can. It took me 2 years to change my whole diet and I struggled with stopping to eat sweets and sugary food. After I stopped my scalp psoriasis went away after 3 weeks. Im a girl and was almost bald because the psoriasis caused bad hairloss. I finally started to have my life back. I still get small flare ups that are pain in the ass, but atleast I know what cause them. I still have the cravings for chocoalte and pizza once in a while, so then I get bad flare ups that last for a week or two. But im good at eating clean and this way I keep my psoriasis mostly away now.

Thank you all so far. I am applying cream to it currently and it is helping but not enough. The brand is DiproSalic. I will try to change my diet. Again, thanks for helping.

Hi, so sorry to hear of your condition. Yes diet is the most important...we are what we eat. I found it was easier for me to concentrate on eating more alkaline foods than acidic ones. Life is hard enough, than to have to add more burdens like completely changing your diet. Just try to eat food that still alive (ie fruit/veggies, etc) & not dead in a packet. I found it easier to put coconut oil bottle in the fridge, then chop it up to pieces that I could use to rub on to my dry skin. Because it's cold it lessens the itchiness as well. Then I can rub the area to reduce the itch, not scratch it. Hope this helps 😊

I was the same age with the same issue the only advice I can give is keep up with the appointments at the hospital and what doctors tell you unfortunately nothing worked for me years ago but treatments have changed now for the better I was hospitalised which psoriasis at 15 but now on injections and living a happy life after all the bullying As I say just listen to the docs and they will find a solution 😊

Go on Facebook and look up hanna sillitoe, you will find all the help u need in her book

Another thing that is very effective is blueberries i've been eating around 20 a day for 3 weeks and im clearing up i was around 99% covered due to a bad flare up this april gone and i was admitted to hospital due to my body going into shock and dehydration was given acitretin and cyclosporin none of them did anything for me but definitely drink lots of water to keep hydrayted.

Yes I a will be eating blueberry every day aswell
