I am 64 years old and my psoriasis is now the best it has been since it appeared in high school. I began using Sween Cream after a friend told me she used it on her skin that had been burned by radiation treatments for breast cancer. It helped me quite a bit and now... Read more »

I am a 61-year-old gentleman who has suffered with psoriasis for over 25 years. A friend of mine at work, who works in hazardous waste, was about to throw away a bottle of T/Sal [salicylic acid shampoo made by Neutrogena] shampoo because it was one year old. My company makes fragrances for shampoos and other... Read more »

I have guttate psoriasis which once covered about 75% of my body. I was feeling hopeless. It was mentally and physically painful. Tanning in a tanning bed seemed to work the best, almost completely clearing the psoriasis from my torso, back and head. Then I saw a sample of emu oil in a drugstore and... Read more »

I wanted to let people in on what I have learned from different sources. I have psoriatic arthritis presently in my hip, feet and ankles (though I think that it is spreading). I take 200 milligrams each evening of primrose oil (four pills) and flax seed oil (two pills) daily. Both of these oils are... Read more »

Although they are a little pricey ($25 or so for the gloves and booties, $10 for the gelbows) these gel lined items have done wonders for my feet and hands. I put on 100% pure shea butter and then put on my little gloves and booties (and gelbows for the elbows). You can leave them... Read more »

My skin has improved markedly... Read more »

I have suffered with pretty bad skin for about 17 years now. I tried everything and found some of the best remedies to be the natural alternatives: 1. After showering, a blend of jojoba oil, with lavender (10 drops), cedarwood (5 drops) and bergamot (3 drops) really helped to heal and prevent outbreaks. 2. Keep... Read more »

I have had guttate psoriasis for five years. Recently a friend recommended DOAK oil. I was a bit hesitant because I am allergic to the tar treatments recommended by my dermatologist. After a particularly itchy week I relented and tried dabbing DOAK oil on my spots with a cotton ball. The itching stopped right away... Read more »

I have used canola and olive oil on my scalp with great results. Many people seem to leave it on overnight but I have found that leaving it on for just half an hour is fine. That way you don’t have to deal with wearing a shower cap to bed. I also use a plastic... Read more »
