All the answers above may help, coal tar soaps, cortisone creams, controlled sunlight.
You can also try the following home treatments: soaking in epsom salts, intense moisturizing (like Eucerin or petroleum jelly type salves), there are even homeopothy treatments.
I achieved some limited succes with these home treatments, and even a little more success with medications prescribed by doctor. I finally achieved an almost total success (98% clearing of plaques from skin, 100% clearing of scalp and ears) from a medication called Enbrel. Ebrel was first prescribed for psoriatic arthritis. It is now being prescribed for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It is administered via injection once a week. I do my own injections. It was hard at first, but now I am not bothered by them. The injections are intradural (under the skin, not into the muscle) so the pain is minimal. I am so grateful that I found Enbrel. Psoriasis was beginning to impact my quality of life in a big way, now it is just a mild nuisance. Good Luck!
I use coal tar solutions...it does help but the best thing you can do is lessen the stress in your life.....hydrocortizone helps some....
Gluten free diet
I know that Shea Butter can help everything from psoriasis to eczema and even lupus. Check out this lady's site http://mysheagoldbody.com/ . She's a small time seller, but she has some of the best prices (and quality) that I've seen.
Try not to scratch them because it spreads bad. Coal tar solutions,viral medications,neosporin and hydorcortizon cream 10 helps too!
My husband has this on head and between eyebrows. I don"t know that it will ever go away with out coming back , but you should be able to control it. Shampoos with coal tar in them help, Listerine applied to the scalp or where ever. There are prescriptions avable. The sun is the best. When we go to Mexico it clears up. Air also no hats.
Hello there. The herbal anti-psoriasis cream and spray from Champori.com works better on my plaque psor. than anything else I tried: my skin cleared out and I haven't had a flare up in more than a year now after only 2.5 weeks of treatment. Try it: it comes with money-back guarantee too so there is nothing to lose.
Best,
Bernadette
