Ive had psoriasis for years now and it just seems to be getting worse especially summer time!
My GP has given me all kinds of creams and ointments and none have made a difference ive even tried rose oil water!
My skin is very painful and often cracks and bleeds.
What has everyone else tried and has it made a difference?
😁

I've tried multiple creams and injections. I've done a lot of medicines too. I am now psoriasis free with doing stelara injections every 12 weeks. It's the only thing that has worked and (knock on wood) has been working. I like stelara because you don't have to do the injections once a week or once a month. Mine would get really thick and bleed and would be sore for weeks. Although I love stelara, it hasn't done much for the severe progression of the psoriatic arthritis but I'm working with a new rheumatologist on some medicines to help. I am just glad to be psoriasis free. It was very embarrassing for me. And I couldn't stand the stares or comments and having to constantly be covered in fear of someone seeing it. Hope this helps.

Gender Bender Bar. Its soap - A Black bar of Soap. Its Great Stuff ! It Works for me. And most people havent heard of it. It works great on Psoriasis. Whether its a Open sore or not. Wash it with that. It Helps with healing and the Itching. You can purchase it at www.Posh.com Its Bigger than a normal size bar of soap. And smells Great and rinses off great as well.

Hi there anything with coal tar works very good on the skin .It doesn’t smell pleasant but it usually clears skin in a couple of weeks .Also try cutting out alcohol,sugar and I’m sure u will see a great difference .At the min my skin is clear cause the sun does it a lot of good .I also recommend moisturising twice daily to keep ur skin from drying out

I started Enstilar spray foam 2 weeks ago and my skin is greatly improved. I’m also doing photo therapy. This was prescribed by a top dermatologist at Yale.
