Zorac isn't great; it tends to irritate the skin quite a bit.

I'm sorry you aren't seeing better results than with the balm, but that was somewhat expected. Millions of people across the US deal with psoriasis, and frankly, no one expects it to vanish in fourteen days just because of some local remedy...

My advice would be to apply oil generously after every shower, spend a little time in a tanning bed, and try Psorcutan ointment. It’s very gentle and has been the best cream I've ever used...🙏

In about a month, your skin will likely be 80% better, if not more...

Whoa, everyone, slow down. I already said that copperviper102 achieved the fastest results we've seen so far; we can't expect everyone to follow that exact timeline. You need to apply the balm for 25-30 days before you see any real progress. That slight itching you're feeling is actually a good sign, even if it isn't always the case.

So just take it easy and be patient for a little longer.

.

I feel bad that the balm didn't work better for you, but honestly, that was expected. Millions of people all over the US deal with psoriasis, and let's be real—nobody's getting cured in just 14 days by some local folk remedy.

I don't believe I've insulted anyone on this forum so far, so I expect the same courtesy in return. That’s my take on the rules here. You're entitled to your own opinions and expectations, and you can share them, but your recent comment labeling this as "snake oil" is an insult to me and to everyone else actually using it.

So, I'm asking for a little dignity, basic manners, and some self-control when you talk to others.

My apologies, I may have been a bit too blunt earlier.

In short, I think your balm is fine since it's plant-based and unlikely to cause harm, but as for completely curing psoriasis... well, that’s a harder sell for me.

It’s constantly itching, nothing crazy, just a nagging little thing. My scales have thinned out a bit, but that redness is still way too obvious.

On another note, does anyone here have experience using Zorac gel? My doctor recommended it.

Man, I really feel for you that things aren't moving faster, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised since Michael Ramos3's dad told me that because my patches are relatively small, I might see some progress in about ten days or so. That said, I am nowhere near finished with this therapy 😬 because while it's almost gone on my head, you can still definitely see it on my chest and lower down, but the improvement has been massive. I have a feeling the progress is going to slow down significantly now (which is just how life works, right? If something starts off fast, it slows down, and when things start slow, they eventually pick up speed). Maybe there was some other factor at play too. For instance, I cut out soda for the last few months... and for a while, I even cut out sweets and took some natural supplements to detox my liver and clean out my system. I can't say for sure if that's the exact reason for this, but it certainly didn't hurt my overall health. The most important thing is that the tension and that slight skin pain finally let up. 👍.. what's visible on me hasn't bothered me for years. But man, if walking around bald is actually enjoyable for me now, that's something... 🤣 Fingers crossed for you that things start looking up soon....

To be perfectly honest, I find myself agreeing with you. I tend to be quite skeptical about these things; everything I've tried lately has failed to make an impact, especially those herbal remedies.
So, please forgive me, Michael Ramos3, but I’m also one of those people who doesn't have much faith in these solutions.

I just started using it myself, but I'm being really careful because it's such a strong medication. You have to apply it strictly to the affected spots without touching any healthy skin. I'm seeing decent progress in some areas, but not everywhere... I guess it just needs more time. I'll keep writing updates as things move along. Best,

Just got back from the coast—needed a little soak and some sun. My spots are still red, and I’m starting to get that nagging feeling again, wondering if I’m missing my window. I keep thinking maybe the ocean will work its magic, but we all know that’s rarely a permanent fix. I haven't touched carbonated drinks in a year or two now, and I’ve been sticking to teas and honey, yet this redness just won't budge. I still hold onto the hope that the balm will clear it up; it’s just moving at a snail's pace. Zorac told me her doctor warned that using it after three weeks starts destroying healthy skin, so you really have to be careful with that kind of chemical stuff. Still, if it clears the spots, it might be worth the risk, provided it doesn't wreck the rest of my skin. Definitely let us know how it works out for you.
Where did Gregory Mendoza3 disappear to? It's been a while since we heard an update on how things are going for him.

So sorry, Michael Ramos3, but I’m one of those people who just doesn't have much faith in it.

There's no need to apologize to me for not believing in my balm. I completely get it. Like I said before, my father dealt with psoriasis for over 30 years; he tried everything under the sun and went through all kinds of phases.
Just check the forum daily and eventually, you'll start to trust the process. We already have one member, copperviper102, reaching out with great results, though he still has a little ways to go before he's finished. Let's wait for others like silentheron25 and Gregory Mendoza3 to post their experiences too. Just remember, it takes 25-30 days to see the first signs of improvement.
One thing I don't get is why people stick to 100% chemical products that you know are destroying your healthy skin, knowing full well they offer no permanent fix. Why bother? How long are you going to keep using them? Until your skin is ruined, or until you catch some other disease, God forbid? You believe in those and use them, but for my plant-based stuff, I don't know what it's going to take for you to believe.
My only fear is that even with our most decisive member already seeing effects, some of you won't find it convincing even after 30 satisfied members join in, and you'll just keep using poisons.
We just need to be patient. What's one or three months compared to 30 years, or a lifetime, God forbid?

I truly just hope that Gregory Mendoza3 is doing alright in the hospital.

Based on those photos he shared, his condition looks incredibly difficult, and he’s dealing with a particularly severe form of psoriasis.👎

He doesn't need ointments right now; he needs a hospital bed...👎

Psoriasis can be managed effectively without harsh chemicals by using completely natural remedies like oils and honey.

copperviper102 has seen amazing results, with only about five little spots left.
I really envy him, but please don't compare Gregory Mendoza3's situation to what copperviper102 is going through...👎

Looking at those photos he posted, his situation looks brutal; he's dealing with an incredibly aggressive form of psoriasis.👎

Psoriasis can actually be managed quite well without using all those toxic chemicals if you stick to completely natural stuff like oils and honey.

copperviper102 has seen amazing results because he literally only has five little spots left.
I’m super jealous of him, but please, let's not even try to compare Gregory Mendoza3's condition to what copperviper102 is going through.👎

And yeah, my own situation is incomparable to Gregory Mendoza3's too... I really don't know if I could handle the level of pain he's in right now...
Just so everyone here has the full picture, I'll give you an idea of the size of my patches... on my head, there are three patches (about 2 inches wide above the forehead, and then two more behind and above the ears, about 1.5 inches each).... the whole area behind my ears is covered, plus inside the ears themselves.... my chest has a patch in the middle that's nearly 3 inches across..... down below, it was so bad my pride was basically non-existent given how much it affected everything... I've got a spot on my eyebrow maybe half an inch wide, and something tiny on my eyelid...
So now you know exactly what my patches looked like, and trust me, there is absolutely no comparison to Gregory Mendoza3...
Take care, everyone.

I just have to say a few things to Michael Ramos3.
He thinks psoriasis is some incurable disease where you can only find temporary relief.
Where do you get the nerve to claim someone will be Healed when mainstream American medicine hasn't pulled that off yet?
Psoriasis isn't something you fix on the surface; it’s an inside job.
If you try to block it from breaking out on your skin, you're just forcing it deeper inside, where it starts attacking your other organs—hitting your joints first, then everything else in line.
Honestly, and I mean truly, I want every single person on this forum using your balm to be Healed.
The million-dollar question is whether people are going to be misled here, and we'll see who's right.
I've been fooled plenty of times into thinking I finally kicked this curse, but nope. Just disappointment, more stress, and the same old cycle. For 37 years now, me and psoriasis have been playing a game where it's winning every single time.
My case is pretty bad, kind of like what Gregory Mendoza3 is dealing with, but I've gotten used to the "eruptions" as Gregory Mendoza3 calls them. Lately, they've actually started weakening on their own, and I've been managing with St. John's Wort oil, calendula cream, and white petroleum jelly.
If you're really that confident in your claims, why don't you go post this on a major US forum like Reddit and see if people cheer you on or tear you apart?Let's see how many people actually used your balm.
Look, I'm not trying to tell anyone on this forum whether they should use your stuff or not; that's their call. Like the old saying goes:"Every man is the architect of his own fortune; he'll live by whatever he builds."That's my take on health.

Let's wait for others like silentheron25, Gregory Mendoza3, and so on, to share their own stories, but I must reiterate: it takes about 25 to 30 days to see those initial results.
The one thing I find truly baffling is why people continue to rely on 100% chemical products—substances you know deep down are destroying your healthy skin—while simultaneously knowing they offer no lasting relief. Why bother? How long are you going to stick with them? Until your skin is ruined, or until you develop some other ailment, God forbid? You seem to have faith in those chemicals, yet when it comes to my plant-based formula, I'm not sure what it would take for you to believe.
My only fear is that even with our first decisive member showing real progress, some people won't be convinced even if 30 members report success; they'll just keep using those toxins.
Let's just remain patient. What is one month or three months compared to 30 years, or heaven forbid, an entire lifetime?

With faith in God

You claim that no other medication offers a permanent effect. Are you implying that this balm possesses that capability, while also suggesting we can use it as much as we want? Where exactly is this "permanent effect" located?😕 Could you perhaps send us some photos of your father—before and after he used the balm? I don't mean to sound harsh, but while I have faith in God, I still need to find some faith in this balm.😎

You seem to think psoriasis is an incurable disease that can only be managed briefly.

Psoriasis isn't treated on the outside; it’s treated from the inside.
If you just stop it from showing up on the skin, you're inevitably pushing it deeper inside, where it attacks other organs—starting with the joints and moving down the line.
Honestly, more than anything, I want the people on this forum who use your balm to be Healed.
The real question is whether someone is going to be misled, and we'll see who that turns out to be.
I’ve been misled many times thinking I finally beat this curse, but unfortunately, I haven't. It’s just been disappointment and renewed stress. For 37 years now, my psoriasis and I have been playing a game where it holds all the cards.
My case is pretty severe, similar to what Gregory Mendoza3 deals with, but I've gotten used to the "eruptions," as Gregory Mendoza3 calls them. They're actually weakening on their own now, and I treat them with St. John's Wort oil, calendula cream, and white petroleum jelly.
If you're so certain about what you're saying, post it on the Krstarica forum and let's see how many people praise you or shut you down. Those who used your balm.
I don't want to influence anyone on this forum to use your balm or not; that's their call. As the old saying goes, "Every man is the architect of his own fortune; however he builds it, that is how it will serve him." Interpret health however you want.

Dear Mr. Robert Clark2.

Understand that psoriasis is a Healed condition, and that looks permanent (my father hasn't had it for 7 years, despite facing heavy stress and eating/drinking everything he used to avoid).

The courage to say this comes from the fact that I have eyes. I see my own father, and for the last 7 years, I've seen others too. I am simply witnessing what I see. Mainstream medicine is frankly in huge trouble, and not just with psoriasis.
In most Western countries, homeopathy has legally become an "official" branch of medicine. I’m asking you: what defines "official"? Even things like polio or tuberculosis were once officially considered "incurable" diseases, but 500 years have passed and cures were found in the meantime.
Whether psoriasis is treated from the outside or the inside—forgive me, but neither you nor I truly knows. I don't know how my balm works, what it acts upon, or if it works internally too; that's not something even I or my father knows. Maybe we'll find out one day when it becomes an "officially tested drug by a major corporation."
Does it just remove visible marks and push the psoriasis inward? I'll answer you once you actually define psoriasis, and then you'll be 70% of the way toward its "medically official" treatment. Let's just assume for a second that it ONLY removes the visible part of the psoriasis permanently, and that it's completely natural and costs less than my monthly internet bill. I think that alone is enough.

Whether you believe what I'm writing is your choice. I suspect you're at least a little intrigued, but you're waiting for the first results—waiting for someone else to try it instead of you. That's fine by me. I know you've probably tried a thousand "safe" remedies only to be disappointed, just like my father was during his 35 years with psoriasis. But I'm asking you because you won't try the 1,001st remedy. If your answer is NO, then the psoriasis has won the match. If your answer is YES, then be patient a little longer until the decisive members of this forum share their experiences. Then, feel free to get the balm. And when you are fully Healed by the end of this year, I'll personally invite myself to your beach house for summer vacation.

I respect both your life experiences and the years you've spent dealing with this condition. That’s why I'm asking you—as someone who looks up to you like a father figure—please don't hold it against me if I've said anything to upset you.

With faith in God,

Where is this "lasting effect" then? Can you send some photos of your father, before and after using the balm? I don't mean to be rude, but I have faith in God, and I need to find some faith in this balm too.😕 😎

- Experience shows that no other medication provides a permanent fix—you all know that better than I do. I am constantly trying to explain that this balm *does* have a lasting effect (my father hasn't had a single trace of it for seven years), and plenty of others who used it feel the same way.
- When I say you can use it as much as you want, I mean use it as long as there is a need for it. Nobody has ever reported needing to keep applying it after being Healed just because they fell in love with the scent or got used to sleeping with it on.
- Regarding photos, I could send current pictures of my father, though I doubt he'd agree to it, and I honestly don't have the old ones. Back in 1999, if he knew by 2000 he would be permanently Healed, he might have actually thought to take detailed photos to show people one day.
- I'm glad you mentioned your faith in God, because I have mine too. As for faith in my balm, I really can't help you there; I don't know where to find "faith" to just hand it over to you. There's an old saying: "Believe it or don't." There is no third option. So, I don't think you need my father's photos, past or present, to decide whether to believe in the balm.

I'll say it one more time:

With faith in God, it will happen.
All the best from God.

I’ve been lurking on this Krstarica forum, and if I can say it without being rude, it’s pretty serious.
Out of five pages, three are just two members bickering, and the other two are debates about salt intake and the Dead Sea.
I already reached out to the moderator, who made it clear upfront: if I start publicly pushing unregistered herbs, teas, or salves, I’m out. So, I haven't even officially introduced myself yet.
Let me reiterate what I said before.
"Your" forum is one of the largest, most detailed, open, progressive, and serious forums in our language.
That’s thanks to the members, so thanks to them.
That’s why I decided to join this forum for the first time. As things stand—since my English is pretty weak—I don't see any other forum worth participating in right now.
Sorry, I actually signed up for the www.mycity.com forum the same day, but the moderator wiped my account after a few posts because apparently, I was violating "information laws."

You can actually keep psoriasis under control without resorting to toxic stuff—just by using totally natural things like oils and honey.

Hey, Chris Morgan67!
Could you let me know if you’re following any specific diet? I'm also curious about which oils you swear by and how exactly you use honey. The reason I ask is that the diet I’m currently on actually bans honey—apparently, it's bad for the liver, much like all those acids... which would include the apple cider vinegar you mentioned. Well, I've been drinking apple cider vinegar for two mornings straight now, so here goes nothing.
As for applying it topically, someone taught me last year that I should infuse the apple cider vinegar with walnut leaves, yarrow, or wormwood. I actually made my own batch, but I never ended up using it because I was terrified of how the acid might sting my open sores—I just can't handle that kind of pain. About a month ago, I finally tossed those little jars out of the house.

Sophia Campbell73 said:Hello Chris Morgan67...
Could you let me know if you’re following a specific diet? I'm curious about which oils you prefer and how exactly you incorporate honey into your routine... I ask because the diet I'm currently on bans honey, claiming it affects the liver similarly to all acids—which would include that apple cider vinegar you mentioned. I've been having apple cider vinegar for breakfast the last two mornings, so we'll see how it goes...
Regarding using that mixture... last year someone taught me to steep walnut leaves, St. John's Wort, or wormwood in apple cider vinegar. I actually prepared a batch, but I never ended up using it. I was just too worried about how the acid might sting my open sores—I can't handle that kind of pain. A few months ago, I finally tossed those jars out...

I don't follow any specific diet, nor do I obsess over my nutrition, because I honestly don't think it makes much difference for those of us dealing with psoriasis. My theory is that if you, say, cut out meat entirely for two years, the moment you finally sit down to eat it again, the shock to your system will just trigger a massive flare-up...
I eat my fruits and vegetables daily, along with meat and grains—my diet is pretty standard. I smoke, though, and drink on occasion...😬 I occasionally indulge in some sodas, and as for coffee, I drink it by the gallon...

I'm currently taking some multivitamins just because I have them lying around the house...🙂 They say those evening primrose oil capsules are good for the skin...
For a few mornings now, I’ve been mixing a spoonful of vinegar with two or three tablespoons of honey in a bit of water...
I've heard from several different sources that honey and vinegar might actually be beneficial for our condition...

I’ve read online that if there aren't any open sores from psoriasis, you can try adding a bit of vinegar to a bath or mixing it with your body lotion. Apparently, the vinegar helps soothe the itching and disinfects the skin without wiping out the good bacteria...

When it comes to oils, I swear by them...🙏 🙏
For years now, I've been applying oils to my skin while it's still damp right after showering...
I've tried olive, sesame, St. John's Wort, and calendula oils, and they all work wonders for me. I apply them to damp skin and then lightly pat dry with a towel. Even standard store brands, like Nivea, do the trick...

I also use the calendula salve from CVS, which costs about... $3.00She contains petroleum jelly inside, which really helps nourish my skin...

For most of us dealing with psoriasis, oils have been a lifesaver. They really help lift those flakes, smooth out the texture, and take the edge off the redness...

My grandmother used to apply honey to her skin whenever she got a sunburn. I’ve also heard that propolis can be applied topically to soothe irritation much like that.

Generally speaking, using oils, honey, vinegar, or vitamins can lead to significant improvement; you might find your skin clears up remarkably if you remain consistent...

Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to ask.🙂
