Welcome! For everyday use and during flares, dermatologists recommend the following for people with psoriasis:

Everyday Use:
- Gentle, Moisturizing Soaps: Formulated for sensitive skin, such as:
- CeraVe
- Cetaphil
- Baby soap without any fragrance

During Flares:
- Avoid Scented Soaps: Fragranced soaps can cause allergic reactions and worsen psoriasis.
- Tar Soaps: Coal and pine tar soaps can help reduce symptoms like itching and inflammation but may cause irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Always patch test first.

General Tips:
- Moisturize Generously: Use products like Eucerin, Nivea, or Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula.
- Use Mild Cleansers: Especially important if receiving phototherapy treatments.

Hope this helps!
