Answers:
I've had it - pretty mild!. There's different kinds - "plaque psoriasis" is what I have!. There's nothing that makes it go away as quickly as a week, though!. I was never clear if the cream was working or if the spots just went away on their own!. I don't use the cream now, and they appear but get better on their own!. It takes a month or two!.

Make sure you're getting enough Vitamin D!. (You can get it from milk, and from being in the sun)!. That may help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i knew of someone who had psoriasis!. My advise would be to used the cream although it might not seem like its not workin give it time !. I'm guessing that you r fair skinned , which might make the redness stand out more!.My friend had the scaly /redness type, the redness didn't go away!. But everybody is different !.JUST HANG IN THEREWww@Answer-Health@Com

Psoriasis is a disease whose main symptom is gray or silvery flaky patches on the skin which are red and inflamed underneath when scratched!. Commonly affected areas include the scalp, elbows, knees, navel, palms, ears and groin!. Psoriasis is autoimmune in origin, and is not contagious!. Around a quarter of people with psoriasis also suffer from psoriatic arthritis, which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in its effects!.

Psoriasis is driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell!. Normally, T cells help protect the body against infection and disease!. In the case of psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake and become so active that they trigger other immune responses, which lead to inflammation and to rapid turnover of skin cells!. These cells pile up on the surface of the skin, forming itchy patches or plaques!. The first outbreak of psoriasis is often triggered by emotional or mental stress or physical skin injury, but heredity is a major factor as well!. In about one-third of the cases, there is a family history of psoriasis!.
Researchers have studied a large number of families affected by psoriasis and identified genes linked to Psoriasis!. (Genes govern every bodily function and determine the inherited traits passed from parent to child!.) People with psoriasis may notice that there are times when their skin worsens, then improves!. Conditions that may cause flareups include infections, stress, and changes in climate that dry the skin!. Also, certain medicines, including lithium and beta blockers, which are prescribed for high blood pressure, may trigger an outbreak or worsen psoriasis!.

To treat psoriasis you need to treat your immune system!. Transfer Factors are the tiny immune molecules that found in mother's colostrum!. They have the ability to educate your immune system so that they can function properly!. Autoimmune disorders are caused by your own immune system attacking your body!. Transfer Factors can suppress your over acting immune system!.
