I just got guttate psoriasis for the first time three months ago from getting strep throat. It took four doctors to figure out what I had. Everyone else thought it was an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin they gave me. I still have it. I read about the light therapy, but the doctor said for me not to go to the tanning salon because it's not good for me. I realize the risk, but I would rather take the risk than be itching from head to toe with this horrible thing!

I was diagnosed with psoriasis after being put on lithium for manic depression. I use Dovonex ointment, Advantim creams and antifungal creams. Have used coal tar creams, soaps and solutions in the past to no avail. I find a swim in salt water daily in summer and a bit of sun and regular exercise plus water all help the skin. Must keep skin moisturized and have found sorbelene with glycerine & Vit E to be a good basic cream.

I use this product called Prosanol from Swedish Skin Care. I found it in a psoriasis magazine. It's not a cream or anything, it's in a spray bottle. Please try it because it really has done so much for my skin.

I've had psoriasis for eight years now. The first outbreak was the worst. It got so bad that I could barely walk and my hands were covered with embarrassingly painful sores. I used Dovonex and a topical steroid for about a year with no visible benifets, then finally at the advice of my grandmother who's an old nurse, I stopped using medication. I found out that medications can actually make it worse. In due time my skin healed. I've found that in my case, my body is cycling. While I still have episodes, they are realitivly small and I have not used medication for 7 years. I hope this advise helps others.

90% of my body was covered with psoriasis. I read about gluten-free diets, and with nothing to lose, I tried it. Today I'm totally gluten free. It's safe, but it wasn't easy. But as the weeks passed, I could tell the difference and now I am under 20% coverage. What I am trying to say is that your diet is very important, and your psoriasis can be a side effect from something totally different. Listen to your body, in terms of what it likes and what it doesn't. If it weren't for that one paragraph about gluten that l read, l don't know where l would be today. I'm 45 years old and I wore my first pair of shorts, my first bathing suit, and my first tank top!

I was suffering with psoriasis for nearly two years. I went to so many doctors and tried so many creams. Then last time I tried one more doctor with a hope to help my psoriasis and the doctor gave me Dermol cream .Within two weeks it started reducing my itchiness and started fading away. Now I have no more psoriasis. I also drink beetroot and carrot juice in empty stomach every morning to clean my insides. Anyone can try these remedies. Give them a try. I hope they work as well for you as they do for me!

I have had it on and off for years...By accident I found taking Resveratrol 125mgs two in the morning two in the evening...knocks it out...First the itching stops than the healing begins...It works like magic for me!
