Oddly enough, the dollar tree carries a coconut creme that helps. it comes in a jar. My daughter has psoriasis also and lives hours away. The last time I went to visit, she had some on her bath vanity. I had to smile that although we were miles apart, we both had the same creme. It helps moisturize which helps lessen the itch. :-)

I started applying coconut oil last year,(2018), it does help alot. I've gone through periods when I haven't used it and the flakes returned.
When I'm able I apply it a cpl times a day.
Soaking in a bath with coconut oil feels AWESOME and is very relaxing
