That's a great question! Oregano oil is something people with psoriasis have explored, and some MyPsoriasisTeam members have shared positive experiences with it. However, there are no scientific studies that confirm oregano oil as an effective treatment for psoriasis specifically.

That's a great question! Oregano oil is something people with psoriasis have explored, and some MyPsoriasisTeam members have shared positive experiences with it. However, there are no scientific studies that confirm oregano oil as an effective treatment for psoriasis specifically.

Some compounds in oregano oil, like carvacrol, show early promise in fighting inflammation in lab studies on skin cells. But this research is still very limited and not conclusive. Since you're already on Skyrizi, it's really important to check with your dermatologist before adding oregano oil or any new supplement. Here's why:

- Oregano oil can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in some people
- It should not be used during an active flare
- It may interact with certain medications
- Essential oils are not regulated, so quality can vary widely

If your doctor gives the go-ahead, the general guidance for applying it to skin is to dilute about 3 drops of oregano oil in 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil (like coconut oil) before applying it. Always do a patch test on clear skin first and watch for any reaction over a few days.
