True as you cannot cure psoriasis, but you can reduce the effects of it. See if you're having a mild/moderate or a serrrriously severe one. If the former, just hop in2 a pharmacy and get a pharmacist to give u some emmolient. If you are having the severe one, u really have to just follow the treatment the doc prescribed but do tell him what's bothering you.

I am exploring the same possibility.  My mom takes enbrel for arthritis and when she explained to me how th drug worked I said, that sounds like it would work on psoriasis!  She told me that the little bit she had on her leg and elbows had dissappeared after like 2 months of injections.  So far after about 2 years, she has not complained of any side effects yet.  So I am gonna try it out whenever I can get back in to see my Dr.  As for amevive, I don't know anything about it and would try the one I have experience with first.

I have a friend who had terrible psoreasis. He did homeopathy treatment and its gone with the wind! I had horrible eczema and homeopathy cured my eczema (I had tried everything else you can think of and nothing else worked). Give it a try!!\n\nAlso, if you try homeopathy, please persist with it. My eczema outbreaks got so much worse before they went away, but I decided I wanted to get rid of them, no matter how hard it was!

I would direct that question to a dermatologist. What is prescribed for one person might not be appropriate for another,

There are lots of treatments for excema and psoriasis including creams, tablets, injections & UV light treatment.\n\nThere are laser treatments but it's normally only done for people with extremely severe psoriasis not excema as it can lead to worse problems than the excema it is treating, you could probably get it done privately altho that would be very expensive.\n\nA dermatologist (skin doctor) will be able to give you creams (always prescribed first of all) many cases of excema are cleared with these creams, the tablets & light treatment are for severe cases again due to the possible worse side effects such as liver failure (certain tablets) and permenant skin damage due to the light treatments.\n\nGive the doctor prescribed skin creams a try first, the side effects of the other treatments can be worse than the skin condition it's treating

I have been prescribed Devonex (sp), and that has worked really well for me.  You will have to keep using it, but it works.  Check with your dermatologist.

there is no cure just treatment ...Many treatments exist such as cortisone, steroids, but a doctor must prescribe them. A very effective over-the-counter solution is coal tar, which has been used for more than 100 years to treat psoriasis

Unfortunately there is NO psoriasis cure but there are psoriasis treatments. It is that simple. Anybody claiming to have a psoriasis cure is misleading you and most likely after your cash. Nothing you do causes psoriasis, it is also that simple. A psoriasis diet will not magically cure your psoriasis, neither will steroids or powerful vitamin derivative type drugs that alter your immune system. We have created this page explicitly to answer this single question as we receive many hundreds of emails each month asking us for a psoriasis cure.\n\nHere is a site you can get all your information from.. very informative!!!\nhttp://www.psoriasiscafe.org/psoriasis-drugs.htm\n\nAlso: Right from the can, Crisco is a big secret among Hospitals as a highly effective moisturizer. Hospitals even use it to treat psoriasis and eczema.\n\nGood luck

there is no cure BUT...you can absolutely keep it controlled by therapy and medications.  I have a friend who has been diagnosed with this terrible disease and because of the meds, you would NEVER know...just like you and me!  The site i posted in the source gives you some great resources...

After reading this, get off your computer and speak with your doctor.  His medication cocktail for you is not working to your benefit.  If you need to, get a "second opinion" and don't let the cure kill you.  Good luck.

It sounds like psoriasis....have him use cetaphyl heavy cream or cetaphyl lotion on it. Also have him use the cetaphyl cleanser on those areas also instead of regular soap. Regular soap will make it worse. If that does'nt help after a couple of weeks he should go to a dermatologist.

If you have bad psoriasis try Enbrel, it works wonders.

I have had psoriasis since I was eighteen, and tried and tested more or less every over-the-counter remedy - only to find it to be fool's gold - so to speak. Expensive and not ailing a bit. Due to the aggressiveness of my psoriasis, the standars therapy-regimes (PUVA, cortisone-, coal tar- and calcipotriole-treatments+++) in hospitals eventually proved themselves insufficient. After a serious outbreak last year, including face, soles of feet, and hands - which rendered me no longer just esthetically handicapped, but physically as well, I was prescribed Fumaric Acid by my dermatologist. Within a month, the itching had subsided; after two months no more plaques began forming, and the once present stopped flaking. Finally, after three months I was psoriasis free. I have been taking Fumaric Acid (approx. 360 mg per day - effective dosage differs from person to person though) for almost a year now, and I am very pleased with the results. The medication -according to my dermatologist and research-reports - do not cause any serious organ-damage, compared to many other systemic psoriasis-treatments. Yet, as it decreases the activity of the immune-system, I have to undertake blood-tests once a month to monitor the white blood-cell count. \nAlbeit it was a hassle to remember to follow the strict medication-regime (you start out with a very low daily dosage (20 mg a day), then increase the amount over time to a maximum of 720 mg a day, before reducing to the lowest effective dosage to uphold a psoriasis-free state), it was - at least in my case - worth it. After twelve years of looking like a scabby dog, always having to dress up to cover a psoriasis-full body, let alone the social alienation due to ignorance from others, I am now going for a holiday for the first time - in a bikini. \n\nGood luck, and may you find something that actually helps.
