"Have been suffering from this for the past 14 years comes and goes but never goes completely and this last few have had a serious breakout. Have had it mainly on my arms not a pretty sight and very self concious. Now I have started getting it in my hair. Doctor has done nothing apart from steroid creams. Has anyone got any tips or even better a cure. I am using sunbeds at the moment as have heard these help. But as I am fair I tend to burn even using a high factor sun lotion." Dermatologists recommend moderate exposure to sun/ sunbeds for psoriasis and it does help. Tar based ointments also do and there is some evidence that Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids do help with skin conditions. | |||

"Check u got got a serious infection (and i dont mean a STI!) I'm a carrier and mine broke out after a really bad throat infection, cant spell it but starts like "strep"!!! I was completely covered. Went for Cold Tar treatment. Every day for 2 hours, for 4 months. Doc refered me. And it went completely. Since the beginning of the year though its come back. I have a stitch left over from my last c-section 6 years ago, that likes to break down the skin every month, which is an infection and also have an infected gall bladder which is due out soon. So these bring back the rash! It's all going back now, not so dry or red, but it does look like I'm a leopard when naked!!!! (cue dark room under covers for any new meets!! lol) Try not the use the steroid creams for too long as it damages the good skin. A good moisturiser works wonders, ask yr doc. Sun beds will make u burn but doc can refer u for light treatment. T-gel is good for yr hair, or again ask the doc. Any more advice or hints or just to chat, message me. I know exactly how u feel x x x " Soz That should say Check you NOT GOT a serious infection | |||

"Look for a Soap called Aleppo, it derives from Syria and is 80% pure Olive Oil and 15-20% Laurel Oil. You can bathe, wash your hair, and men can shave with it. It is also known as Savon d'Alep. You can buy it in some specialist soap shops and online. Also look for natural Argan Oil, again this comes from Syria/Morocco. You can rub this oil into your scalp before washing with Aleppo Soap. Aleppo Soap costs about £5-£6 for a 200g bar, liquid Aleppo Soap harder to find) costs about £12 for 250ml. Argan Oil is around £10 for 100ml." Thanks Jane will have a look sun does help clear it up a little and had a course on sunbeds last year worked wonders not completely though. | |||

"You have a skin condition and you're using a sunbed? Out of the frying pan and into the fire?.. it's not rocket science is it.. be extra vigilant with your skin and how it reacts to your environment.. ie.. don't burn it. " Actually uv is very good for some skin conditions. Have u eliminated all diary products from your diet? | |||

"I got some t-gel stinks though not had it this bad in ages and was having light treatment at hospital few years ago did help but never cleared up completely and it is the same as sunbeds. So having a six week treatment and seeing how it goes. Have had allergy tests and nothing came out mine is due to stress and hormones. Just wondered if anyone had alternative ideas. Will try the added vitamins and omega." I hated T gel.. like you said it doesn't smell very nice and because it was very abrasive i found it was almost burning my scalp.. so came off it... like i said... aloe vera if fantastic.. you can get it as a pure juice and mix it in with water when washing.. i found the gel worked better for me and you could basically rub it in like a lotion.... | |||

"My sister suffers badly and swears by dipping affected parts in sea water..." Dead Sea Salts are also good for Psoriasis and Eczema, you need to ensure that you use unscented salts though. Soak in a bath of warm water with 500g to 1 Kilo of Dead Sea Salts, or Himalayan Pink Salts for a minimum of 30 minutes once a week. | |||

"i did use dream cream but like others i have tried works for a little while but it always comes back" Hi hun, a friend from years ago found the combination of sunlight (summer time) + E45 cream and less stress worked wonders, she's practically clear today. Don't know if it help but worth keeping in the back of your mind? | |||

" i get eczema in my hair and find that t gel helps that but burns the skin on my ears! but i find that if i mix it half and half with a good quality dandruff shampoo then its fine and clears things up. also the little fish that people use for pedicures have been used for years in their native turkey to treat psoriasis and other skin conditions. they eat only dead skin and remove all the flaky, thickened skin. they have something in their saliva which has particularly good healing properties. i seem to recall there is/was a treatment centre in wales where you could immerse your full body in the tank with the fish... | |||

You are right to use sun beds Shaz, part of the treatment as an inpatient for severe cases is UVA cabinets, 10 mins every other day, insist that your Doc refers you to a specialist, if its getting too bad, steroid creams only help in part. Hope you feel better soon xxx | |||

"I think a lot of it is down to stress. So giving up cigs not an option at the mo. And only been out twice this year so far in need of some down time." Don't limit yourself when thinking "going out". A day in the country picniking alone, with friends, family or the kids can be of great benefit. A long walk across the fields, say an hour, can re-source you. Try and fit more of these in. | |||

In the 'fickle' world of physically motivated attraction, I think it's a very brave move. The fact that you have received some sound advice is also heartwarming. | |||

Look for Barefoot Botanicals SOS range in health stores, does what it says on the tin! | |||

"Get a square of muslin,put a cup of porridge oats in it and tie it up. Hang it over the hot tap and let the water run through it as you run a bath. Bathe and rinse. Sounds a bit weird but my niece swears by it" Not weird at all... there is now a cream/ ointment and even shower lotion called Aveeno for dry skin conditions (and I believe Psoriasis) and it is made from colloidal oats! Available over the counter. | |||

"I've had it for years the only thing thats helped me is Methotrxate, its a cancer drug, but its good stuff. ask your GP for a referral to a dermatologist specialist and they are the only ones who can prescribe it. You have to have regular blood tests but its well worth it. " our daughter takes that for psoriatic arthritis. She suffers quite bad with the side effects | |||
