How can mild psoriasis be cured?

I hv been affected by mild scalp psoriasis. Only a patch about 2 sq. cm hv been affected. No itching and/burning sensation. Only scaling was going on. I consulted dematologist @ Apollo (one of the best hospitals in India). I was assured that it is in very early stage & was prescriped Diavonex scalp lotion. Tropical application 2times daily for 3 months improved my patch. Only 3 pin point areas & 1 patch of about 1/4″ is still scaling. Three fingers of my hand have also been affected by nail psoriasis recently. I hv been prescriped Tazarotene 0.1% w/w oint. to apply locally at the nails & continue with earlier Diavonex, Fongiture shampoo & an anti-oxident. Can someone help me understanding the therapy going on me. Can some suggestions come across?

The Natural Way to Beat Psoriasis

Finding relief from psoriasis is far from easy. Many find it to be an evasive dream. You can search everywhere, looking for your perfect cure and still never find what you are looking for. It seems that psoriasis is an autoimmune system problem; every person’s body reacts differently to the ingredients found in common over-the-counter creams, ointments and preparations.

Sure there are hundreds of different gels, creams, lotions and medications available out there, but not all of them work. And they usually cost a great deal. You just have to experiment to see what works for you. Moreover, those with severe psoriasis cases frequently find that available methods of treating and controlling psoriasis outbreaks have short lifetimes, only work for short periods of time. Then they have to experiment again and find something else that will work.

It takes a lot of time (and costs money) to rub on lotion over all of your body 2-3 times daily or to take multiple pills every day. Most psoriasis sufferers just look for something that is simple, fast, cheap, and that actually works. So they keep on looking. While you are looking for your perfect cure, there are things you could get started doing to help yourself. Simple things that you could do right away that could help with your psoriasis, maybe even slow down or put off the start of another outbreak.

There are things that you can easily change around your house or with the way you personally manage yourself, that won’t cost you anything. Here are some you might try:

1. While at home, you should try to find your perfect comfortable temperature there. Psoriasis flare-ups can be triggered by weather changes outside or changes in the temperature in your own house. Going from one temperature extreme to another is almost never good for you. Give your body time to adjust slowly to colder temperatures or warmer ones. Excessive sweat on your body can bring on irritation and itching. That then can lead to scratching that may cause small skin injuries which can then lead to psoriasis flare-ups.

2. You probably spend most of your time in your home and/or office. You should make sure you get both places adjusted to the temperature that is perfect for you. It could take you significant effort and time to find that exact correct temperature. Other people may need to adjust themselves to it, but it will help you and be well worth it over time. Most find that temperature control is easier at home than in your office or workplace.

3. Apply moisturizer lotions or creams frequently throughout each day. The moisturizer you use should be high quality and it should be fragrance-free. Fragrant lotions are very popular (especially with women) but they can actually irritate your skin. Avoid fancy perfumed products. Instead choose lotions with high moisture content. Every time you shower or bathe, remember to apply lotion to lock in that moisture you just gained.

4. Changeover to using all-natural products. Each and every product you use, hand soap, makeup, hair tonic, deodorant, aftershave, whatever, should be the most all-natural you can find and should be fragrance-free. Insist on hypoallergenic products or products that are the most irritant-free available. Replace your laundry detergent with a simple non-scented type.

If you follow all of the above steps you will very likely find that your psoriasis will be more manageable. And good luck to you in finding your perfect cure!
