This works for my psoriasis. Thought I should share

Sorry I meant to quote Lemsip before that comment!

Maybe when people get a flare-up doctors should try an antibiotic.

occasionally any skin complaint can become infected so that
is why the antibiotic drip made your skin improve also.

I must pass that on to my husband Kaimoana he has arthritis.

I was in hospital on holiday once for 3 days on an antibiotic drip and special diet. My psoriasis almost cleared.

I started taking Good Health Sharkilage for my arthritis and was astonished that my psoriasis also cleared - not totally but a LOT.

Shandy I too miss perfumed stuff but I find the Boots no 7 bath milk gives me a lovely bubble bath. And farmologie smells nice but it might not suit you.
I do find Sainsburys pure soap very good.
I've just noticed you've remembered something that helped. Maybe you can try it again.

T-gel shampoo for itchy scalp

Nadaterturbe sorry I pressed something and it went off - I use E45 shower cream, very messy. Wish I could use perfumed stuff.

Facially I'm alright and use any cruelty free stuff that's about, Body Shop, No 7, I've never had a favourite.

NotTooOld I saw a specialist many moons ago, and he said I could take two cetirizine hydrochloride per day for the itching. It did work, I just forgot about it until you asked!

I haven't had this problem for many years, NotTooOld .
I used coal tar shampoo then. Perhaps try Tgel, although you have possibly tried this. Leave it on a few minutes before rinsing.
If it's stress related, can you do something about the stress.
And limit you use on your hair.
Sorry, not much help maybe someone else will have experience.

I have a very itchy scalp which I think is psoriasis. The GP gives me Dovonex for when it is really bad and I also have a scalp lotion for more frequent use but nothing helps that much. I think it is exacerbated by stress and I often wake in the night with a furiously itchy head. Does anyone else get this and what do you do about it, please?

Interested to know what you use in the shower/bath Shandy57 and what moisturiser you use?

Me too Nanna58. That's why I wanted to share the post. Fingers crossed it continues.

I haven't heard of Hydromol Lemsip. will save the name for future reference.

What really annoyed me was that I used Carbodome and suddenly it was no longer available when I asked for a repeat prescription. My doctor didn't even ask to see me to discuss what else I could use. I've spent a lot of money trying to find something myself.
But I do feel sorry for those like Shandy 57 who can't find something that works.

I am using Farmologie products for my Psoriasis, very impressed !

‎Hydromol Ointment solved my psoriasis,, if it flares up i use it regularly on the patches.

That's the frustrating thing nadateturbe, different things work for different people. Over the years I've tried lots of diet changes for six weeks or more to see if it had any effect, no alcohol, no dairy etc - and I can't use soap at all, makes my skin really stingy sore. I've done the sun bed treatments without any benefit, and have Dovenex and Betnovate steroid creams for when it flares. The only time it all went was when I was pregnant with my first child aged 36 - second child at 39 I looked like I had smallpox I just live with it but have got lazy over lockdown, need to get back into the three times a day moisturising.

My dad was like that Shandy57. My mum used to complain about all the vacuuming and I felt so sorry for him.
Psoriasis is very difficult to treat in some cases. It can be so embarrassing and make one self conscious too. I wonder would diet changes help. I know since I cut sugar and alcohol mine is a bit better, and using sainsburys pure soap helps.. Also I take vitamin D3 which is said to boost the immune system. I never found moisturising much help tbh.
There are forums that might offer some advice.

Mine started when I was twenty, and my parents divorced. Patches all down my spine during the new 'halterneck trend' weren't good! Unfortunately I also had it on my hairline, and a friend at work asked what was wrong It appears wherever it wants, and at 63 I'm fed up with the greasy grind of constant moisturising, and the constant hoovering. It does worry me that the skin is our largest immune system and mine is compromised by this - if I cut myself, I always get a patch of psoriasis.

Your son sounds very bad Jeanie. It must be hard for him. I'm not sure the cream will cope with that. My daughter has psoriatic arthritis and the consultant did tests and said its connected to her auto immune system. I believe lots of these conditions are linked to the auto immune system and are hereditary.

Son has flare ups that are very bad.
It effects his fingers and he needs to file the skin, at times it cracks and bleeds.
He has steroid cream on prescription, I feel so sorry because he uses a computer for working so not good.
My daughter as eczema and I have Hives and a low white cell count which I believe these are all immune system conditions.
I'll buy this cream just to try but he as tried so many different creams over the years and nothing improves the condition.

JaneJudge I'm glad you were pleased with your purchase, although it's early days. Thanks for letting me know.
I hope it helps your husband.
I must say my legs are the clearest they've been for years.

I bought it for my husband but i had a bubble bath in it today and used the cream as I have sensitive skin too, i love it

This is what made me try it. I hope it helps even one of you.

Thank you I had a bad flare recently and will be trying this.
