    • I have had psoriasis my whole life (31) but I have a question. I have battled with facial hair for a while but am wondering what to use on it. I am afraid to use any type of chemicals because of my p ay sggestions.

      i've recently started doing the gluten-free thing only to see if it would help my skin, and have noticed a HUGE improvement. is there any correlation between gluten free and psoriasis? i dont have any stomach issues, just the psoriasis. has anyone else noticed this difference?

      Ive been using just natural skincare products for my psoriasis since April, and after probably going through everything possible to clear up my psorasis, I'm actually really surprised with my results. its all organic, so there aren't any harsh chemicals that will irritate it and make it worse. Though its only been about two months since i started, most of my psoriasis has either disappeared or gotten smaller. I'm really happy that I've finally found a product that helps me cope with my psoriasis. I hope this can help others to <3 I've ordered every product for psoriasis off of their website and it was worth every dollar i spent. Even though it does have sort of a funky smell, it works <3 here is the link- http://www.justnaturalskincare.com/Psoriasis/ALL-skin-psoriasis-products.html

      My derm told me to use Virgin olive oil, put it on my scalp, wrap a warm towel on my head. Also, try not to wash your hair everyday. I do this every day until its gone. I dont have medical insurance so this is the cheep's way to help me.

      I have scalp p and after many visits to the dermatologist and doing UV treatments on my scalp, and using Clobex. I found something that worked better than those combined and now my head is actually clear! First time in years!!!! I've been using the MG214 shampoo, its not expensive and it has honestly worked wonders for my scalp. It also has helped my hair to grow! You can get it at CVS, Rite-Aid, any pharmacy

        Losing 60 lbs has helped my P. I've reached my goal of acceptance after a 22 yr battle. I no longer care what others think. During the summer I wear shorts and bathing suit with not a care who looks and stares. You either love me spots, fla...kes and all or not at all. That's ok with me. I have a husband of eight years that loves me for me and not what I look like with spots. Once you've reached your ultimate goal you'll feel so much better about yourself. I do :)See More

My psoriasis has left me w/white spots on my skin; I now match my dog w/black spots. They say dogs look like their owners; now i have proof. I love myself & all my psoriasis friends.
