Casey Miller9 said:Don't stress out, Chris Morgan67! Stressing is the worst thing for psoriasis. But man, kudos to you for using that oil right after your shower—it really calms things down and feels like it’s rebuilding the skin, even the healthy parts. I actually have some homemade St. John's Wort oil (we have tons of it out here in the South) and it seems amazing for the skin. If you don't have any, I've got extra I can send your way (and Robert Clark2 too), totally free of charge. Best,

Thanks so much for checking in! Things are looking better than ever. Most of the patches are gone, everything is clear except for a tiny bit of redness. Like I mentioned, my go-to routine is using Kantarion oil, Calendula cream, and white petroleum jelly.
I'm heading to the beach in a few days (don't worry, I won't hog the whole place!), but until then, I'll just be soaking up the sun under the shade of an olive tree.

Thanks a million for the offer on the oil! I actually have plenty on hand. I harvested the Kantarion myself—there's enough of it growing within 100 yards of my house. I also have olive trees, so I make my own oil the old-fashioned way. Every year, including this one, I whip up about 10 gallons for my own use, specifically the Kantarion oil.
Cheers

Casey Miller9 said:Hey everyone! Like I said before, it’s backing off again. Those red bumps are gone—just some lingering redness left, which should clear up in maybe 2 or 3 days. No biopsy needed this time. Nick, it definitely flared up last time when that warm wind was blowing through a few days ago. Check out these photos.

It really has cleared up, and quite a bit too! Honestly, from day one, I suspected this wasn't psoriasis at all, just dermatitis.
From what I know, you should take the kid up to the mountains to get some sun. A change in climate can work wonders for their overall health.
Also, keep an eye on the southern side for any construction sites—cement can be a massive allergen. Then there’s shipyards or waste runoff from boats containing heavy metals. When those warm winds blow, they kick up tiny droplets from the water surface and carry those allergens right into the air.
If you stay super observant about the environment, you can really help out and give the doctors clues about potential allergens. If you can, try keeping a little daily journal of everything relevant. It could be a total game-changer for eliminating the dermatitis.

Best!

Michael Ramos3 said:Look, since your kid isn't having any side effects, I say just keep at it! Even after the rash fades, keep applying it. Think about it—if the issue is still lurking under the skin, keeping up the routine might help slow it down or weaken it before it pops back up. It’s all about that consistency, you know? Like staying on a fitness plan even when you feel good.
I honestly think we have nothing to lose and everything to gain here.
I’m calling on everyone else on the board—what do you guys think? This is basically the first time anyone’s testing this ointment on this specific condition.

Hard work, faith, and grit always pay off in the end.

With faith in God,

Best,

Don't go running experiments on your child.

To me, this smells like straight-up advertising.

Hey, Moderator, can you jump in here? If these kinds of posts are against the rules, they should be banned.

Health is the most precious thing we have, and there is way too much at stake to gamble, especially since nobody actually knows how this ointment works on skin disorders.

The way you put it, you're basically using Torlak as a guinea pig.

Now, you're seeing a perfect chance to pitch your product.

Get that ointment registered officially so actual doctors can weigh in, which is a million times more important.

If the Moderator thinks it's necessary, maybe start a poll about this.

Casey Miller9 said:Exactly. I really don't think a dermatologist would mess up that badly, especially since he's one of the top guys in Miami. But hey, that's why biopsies exist—to stop the guesswork! And look, tonight it’s already looking better. It's like it's receding again, which might mean we won't even need that biopsy after all. Now I'm wondering, is that just how psoriasis behaves? Like it flares up for a few days and then disappears for just as long?😕

I’ve been following all your posts, especially the photos, and honestly? I'm thinking your son might actually be dealing with neurodermatitis triggered by allergens.
Don't take it personally if I'm off base here—even doctors get things wrong sometimes.
As soon as you can get that biopsy done, do it. Period. It's the only real way to know for sure. Anything else is just spinning your wheels and risking your kid's health.
Psoriasis doesn't typically cycle through flares that quickly.
Keep a close eye on his environment—where he hangs out, his clothes, the weather (especially wind), and even the water.
The reason I mention this is because you said it flares up and then vanishes so fast.
It's like asthma; when an attack hits hard, you'll see if the dermatitis is backing off or ramping up right along with it.
If I were in your shoes, I'd try changing up his surroundings for a bit just to see what happens.
Right now, it's all just guesswork, and guessing isn't good when your child's health is on the line.
Best regards!

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.

Joshua Allen54 said:Has anyone actually tried that ointment and cream from Dimitrovgrad over in Mexico?

Oh yeah, they're everywhere! Honestly, the best results came from Brexy-Mario and Brexy-Mario over on the Krstarica forums.👎

Sophia Campbell73 said:What are the odds that a kid will develop psoriasis if their mom has it? Every single little spot on my child's skin is heartbreaking for me. If anyone has any insight or experience, please let me know.
Greetings from a worried mom!

🙂 Generally speaking, there's definitely a chance, but there aren't any set rules for this. I totally get where you're coming from—as a mom, you watch over your kids' skin so closely, and every tiny dot feels like a huge deal. Try to stay optimistic and keep a positive mindset regarding your health and your children's too.
Look at my own situation. For the last three generations (as far back as the elders remember), nobody in my family—neither on my dad's side nor my mom's side—has ever dealt with psoriasis.
But then, suddenly, it hit me out of nowhere, like I just dreamed it up myself!

Gregory Mendoza3 said:Alright, I promised to post some photos from the start of my treatment, and here they are.
These were taken Monday night, but I finally found a second to upload them.
The psoriasis is shown above, and that's me underneath.

Buddy!
Words don't even cut it here—the pictures say everything. It’s impossible to describe this.
I'm honestly speechless.
Based on what you told me last time, I suspected you had erythrodermia, and looking at these shots, it's clear you definitely do.
My honest advice? Go to a clinic and just stay there for a bit to get looked after.
A doctor back in Mexico saved my life by prescribing Neotigason; I didn't even walk into her office, they brought me in.
If it wasn't for Neotigason, I’d be smelling flowers from my roots right now—that's how bad things actually were for me.
I don't want to overwhelm you, but seriously, please go visit a clinic.

Sophia Campbell73 said:It feels like most of these fats and creams do more harm than good.
From now on, I'm sticking to just St. John's Wort oil and calendula cream, though I'm worried that might not be enough to keep this thing under control. I'll wait a bit longer to see how the balm from Michael Ramos3 works before I try that too.
On top of that, my nails have been affected for years now and my joints are killing me (mostly my hands, especially the left one). A year ago, I went to a Dermatologist and they gave me some ointments—something like Sinuar or whatever—along with a sedative prescription (which I never take) and told me to get a rheumatism test. That test came back negative, so I didn't bother going back.
I'm really stuck on what to do because I don't even take pain relievers. For now, I'm just pushing through, but I don't think I can hold out much longer if this keeps getting worse.
Robert Clark2 mentioned he has psoriatic arthritis—does my situation sound like that?

Hi everyone!
Yeah, I deal with arthritis too, and my advice is to pay close attention to it because it’s a heavy hitter when it hits alongside psoriasis.
Believe me, sometimes I struggle just to grab my morning coffee with my left hand,and I still can't quite pull it off..
Blood tests for rheumatism in people with psoriatic arthritis usually come back negative, whereas for rheumatoid arthritis, they're positive about 70 to 80 percent of the time.
Psoriatic arthritis usually hits the small joints in your hands and feet, but in tougher cases, it can move into your spine or hips. And look, I don't want to scare you, but there are definitely some rougher cases out there.

You really have to stay on top of the arthritis issues, just like you do with the psoriasis.
Like I always say, I can handle the hand pain since it's invisible, unlike the psoriasis which shows up for everyone to see. But honestly, I moved past that mental struggle a long time ago.
My best advice? Go see both a Dermatologist and an Orthopedist while you're still able to.👍

Casey Miller9 said:Everything there is spot on, except it doesn't smell like oil or petroleum. It’s more like a pine resin scent, if that makes sense.

Exactly! It smells just like pine and has that same color. I'm just not sure if it's from Healed or
some other herbalist out there.
A buddy actually gave it to me to help me out—he got it as a promotional sample from someone. That was about three years ago.
I know I have some stashed somewhere in the house, probably a 50g pack in some loose packaging. Let me go hunt for it.

urbangull said:I see you've had some experience with Butavat, just like Gregory Mendoza3. Honestly, I’ve got a different take on this one. Back in my hometown, I actually ran into someone who used Butavat and completely cleared up all their psoriasis. They stayed clear for two whole years—totally spotless—until just recently when a tiny spot popped up on their elbow. Robert Clark2, any chance you could drop that famous professor's name from Mexico? I really want to check in with them before I decide whether to give this stuff a shot or not.😕

Hey urbangull! I really want to help you out here. Just a heads-up: Butavat is a super strong corticosteroid. I ended up wrecking my own skin using it—it actually triggered erythrodermia for me. It made my skin so thin that I’m constantly freezing now. Since my skin barrier is basically shot, my body can't hold onto its heat anymore; the warmth just escapes right through.
In the end, you won't get anything out of it. It'll just be a total waste of your time and cause damage you can't undo. You're honestly just setting yourself up for an even bigger disappointment later on.
Gabby and Gregory Mendoza3 both used it, so why don't you just ask them what they think?
I'll shoot you a private message with the name of this amazing doctor. Honestly, you should just head over to her clinic for a full exam—it’s worth it. Just try to pull some strings and see if you can get a good referral or a solid connection there!

Gregory Mendoza3 said:Robert Clark2, my friend,

I've been using some kind of St. John's Wort ointment, but honestly, it's doing absolutely nothing. My psoriasis is just running wild like it owns the place... and lately, it’s really acting up. For the last month, I've been covered from head to toe 😳 and to top it all off, I've got an allergic reaction breaking out on my face... even worse, the Dermatologist who tried to clear the allergy actually made things much more intense by using some ointment based on Sinoderma. Now I've got these massive broken capillaries popping up around my eyes! Plus, there's psoriasis on my face too, so I can't even tell what's what anymore. I'm just going to try to get this allergy and the capillaries under control first... at least then I'll know what I'm actually dealing with regarding the psoriasis... (you wouldn't believe how I look right now 😛 ))

It feels like it's not just a coincidence—like this psoriasis flare-up is tied directly to the allergy. Maybe it's my immune system crashing or something else, but they both started hitting me at the exact same time.

Starting Monday, I'm switching over to the ointment from Healed...

As for Neotigason, I've actually never heard of it... what's the deal with that?

It sounds to me like you might be dealing with secondary erythrodermia. That often pops up as a result of psoriasis, unlike Primary, which usually stems from an allergic reaction to certain meds—could even be from antibiotics.
I've dealt with broken capillaries all over my body myself. Any time I'd scratch or even just a light bump against my skin, those capillaries would burst. They'd hang around for a few days and then fade on their own. In some cases, you might even see one or more swollen lymph nodes pop up. Don't let them stress you out too much, though; they aren't any worse than the psoriasis itself.😎
From what I understand, using corticosteroid ointments for local application can lead to much stronger absorption into the system. Back when I was going through that, I used plain white Vaseline.

Neotigason is an anti-psoriatic medication. Your Dermatologist has to prescribe that first, and you'll need to get blood work done every ten days. You definitely need a full blood count before you even start using it—I think I mentioned that somewhere before.🙂

Gregory Mendoza3 said:I’m super prone to allergies... I actually dealt with some pretty intense sun allergies before my psoriasis even showed up... Not sure if they're linked, though... weirdly enough, the sun actually helps my psoriasis, even if it wrecks the rest of my skin...

Even now, I've got this nasty allergy flare-up on my face... a bad one... and since I have facial psoriasis too, I can't even tell which is which anymore! I'm totally lost on what to use to treat it...😳

Life is just wild, isn't it? Even when things get bitter, it's still beautiful... No matter how absurd everything feels sometimes, those good moments make it all worth living through...👍

Hang in there, my friend Gregory Mendoza3!
Since we're both dealing with this crazy stuff, what are you applying to your skin lately? Have you tried taking Neotigason capsules? Or maybe using St. John's Wort oil?

Just asking, because it looks like I might have to start back on the meds myself soon.

urbangull said:It’s a massive struggle. I've been dealing with this for 7 years now. It hits my elbows, knees, ankles, hands, even my scalp (though things settle down after using White Salic lotion), behind my ears, and now it's starting to pop up on soft tissue areas too. My dermatologist diagnosed it as Psoriasis vulgaris and prescribed Cignol, claiming it's my only shot, but man, I just can't stand it.😲 I've tried everything I can find that worked for others—mostly calendula and St. John's Wort ointments—but nothing sticks. The only real relief comes from White Salic and Zorak 0.05%. But I have to take breaks because it feels like my skin is building up a resistance. Some people tell me I need to watch my diet, 😕 but so far, I haven't found any real cure. I'm 35 and I still haven't figured out how to live with this. Best Regards.

Look, that Cignol stuff is straight-up poison. Even the instructions say you can't even wash your clothes or bedding if they touch it—can you believe that? That doctor... honestly. A better bet would be ELOKOM. It's much gentler than that nightmare. I tried it myself, but for me, the results were zero.

rapidpanther41 said:I'm pretty new here. I've been dealing with this since my heart attack back on September 11, 2002, and it flared up even worse after my heart surgery on September 11, 2003—had four bypasses done. It shows up on my finger joints and a bit on my elbows. I totally agree that skin damage triggers it. I use small amounts of White Salic and some other ointment-based stuff, but honestly? They don't really do much. For me, nothing beats the ocean and sunshine. I tried Zorak 1.00 once, and it was a total disaster; I had to stop immediately because of the reaction. From what I've gathered and experienced firsthand, the big trigger for psoriasis is a massive psycho-physical shock (stress). To actually fix it, you have to balance out your whole system, mind and body. Everything else is just driving on a spare tire until you get a new one.

Let’s pull over for a second and look at this. Is there anything besides psychological stress that kicks psoriasis off? Think about it: even when an entire family has the genetic predisposition, not everyone gets it. Have you guys ever wondered why only one specific person ends up with it?
Could it be the individual's living conditions? Or maybe we need to dig deeper—all the way back to conception (planned or unplanned pregnancy), then birth, breastfeeding, weaning, starting school, puberty, military service, or for women, marriage and childbirth, etc.
Could any of those life milestones be the spark that sets off psoriasis in a person?

urbangull said:Hey everyone from North Mexico! Hey there, Robert Clark2. I’m honestly stoked he decided to share his experience here again—it's super helpful. I don't post much, but I'm lurking constantly. There's just so much noise and info flying around that I'm totally lost on what to actually use. One thing is bad, another thing causes damage... it's constant. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Just rub whatever I can find on it? Right now, nothing is working, and I'm starting to think there's no cure. Ivancic mentioned she's using wild ivy, and I really want to know how that's going. Please, give me some advice because this psoriasis is spreading fast. Bye for now!

🙂 Sending love to all my fellow psoriasis fighters in North Mexico, especially urbangull!

Don't get overwhelmed! Just speak up—tell us exactly what problems you're dealing with and what you're trying right now. I need to know what type of psoriasis you have and where it's hitting you. Check out Ivancic's latest post; you'll see she's pretty happy with her results. Like you said, there might not be a "cure," but we can definitely find relief for a while.
Keep posting and asking questions so we can at least tackle this struggle together. 🙏

Best Regards!

Maria Doyle27 said:EDIT: It’s a result of stress and nerves, not just genetics.

🙂 Seriously, go ask that grandma where reality is... look, psoriasis is what happens when stress hits someone who already has the genetic predisposition.

And how do you dodge stressful situations? You don't. Not in this day and age. I used to think it popped up within a year of a bad situation, but nope. Nope! After chatting with a top-tier dermatology professor, I found out it can actually show up up to six years after the initial stressor.
The crazy part? The psoriasis itself becomes the stress, creating this endless loop of stress causing more stress. It's a cycle that never ends.

But here's the kicker—I'm not even stressed right now, yet it just keeps spreading and spreading.👍

copperviper102 said:So, I just followed up on what I mentioned earlier. I gave the folks over at Biotech Corp in New York City a call to pick their brains. Man, the prices there are way lower... we're talking $150 for the treatment (syrup plus nasal drops) plus another $150 for the cream. So, if you do the full 7-day psoriasis cycle, that’s $1,050 plus the cream, totaling about $1,200. 😳 Compared to Chicago, that's a massive $800 savings!!!! 👍 I asked them about guarantees, and of course, they gave me the standard line—they can't guarantee a total cure, but they claim their long-standing reputation is proof enough. That wasn't good enough for me, so I pushed a little harder. I asked, "Okay, if you can't guarantee a cure, would you at least provide follow-up treatments for free if the psoriasis flares back up within a year or two?" The lady told me they'd "work something out" and try to be accommodating. She didn't explicitly promise freebies, but I read between the lines—they do a lot of marketing and probably don't want any bad press. 👎 Basically, she suggested it might be smarter to start the treatment in New York and then maybe visit Chicago later. My doctor in Chicago mentioned needing an extra session after 3 or 4 months just as a precaution, though it's not strictly mandatory. Now, I can't tell if she said that because their method is superior or if she's just looking for more business. The big difference isn't just the price; it's that in New York, you can actually negotiate these "sort-of guarantees" with the bosses, whereas in Chicago, you're stuck. Personally, I'm leaning toward Michael Ramos3's remedy, but I wanted to finish this investigation so I could give you guys the full scoop... the cost of Michael Ramos3's stuff compared to these clinics is night and day 👍 and honestly, hats off to him for keeping it affordable.

I'm right there with you. It feels like Michael Ramos3's formula is our last real shot at saving what's left of my healthy skin. From where I'm standing, things are getting worse by the day.
Once things settle down a bit, I'll make the trip straight to New York to get that remedy from Michael Ramos3.👍

As for Biotech Corp, I don't want to speak prematurely and be wrong, but let's be real: in today's world, guarantees are worth nothing. As soon as you hand over the cash and turn your back, those promises vanish into thin air.👎

This summer, I have to get in the water as much as possible, but keep the tanning to a minimum. But how am I supposed to swim? I'll have to stay fully clothed! If I strip down and people see me looking like a freaking topographical map, half the beach is going to clear out immediately.🤣 🤣 You have to start somewhere, but man, how?🙏

brightangler8 said:Robert Clark2, thanks a million! The spots are tiny, like little drops of water. They're never bigger than that, and they always show up individually, never clustered together. So, you're saying it's all about inflammation in the body? Hmm... I'm no doctor, but maybe there's something else going on... that's actually what scares me the most! Well, I don't have much choice—time to go see a dermatologist. A private one, too!👍
thanks!

Guttate psoriasis is actually a pretty specific type. "Gutta" basically means "drop," which explains the name perfectly. Besides just being in your DNA, it's often triggered by inflammation somewhere else in the body—like an issue with your throat, respiratory system, or other spots.
Once you pinpoint where that inflammation is coming from, treating both the skin flare-ups and addressing the underlying cause with the right antibiotics makes this one of the most treatable versions of psoriasis out there.
It doesn't even have to be a virus; simple bacteria or strep can do the trick.

Like I said, definitely go talk to a dermatologist and maybe an internal medicine specialist as well.

Gregory Mendoza3 said:You're spot on about the amount. At this point, I don't even need to apply it—I basically need to drown myself in the ointment.😳

Ever since I joined this forum about a month ago, my flare-ups have tripled...

This morning, it popped up on my face too—most of my forehead, behind my ears, the top of my neck, even an eyelid. It looks totally unreal... straight out of a horror movie. I had bloodwork done a month ago and everything was fine. Now? I’ll have to redo the labs. I'm terrified there's some massive inflammatory process going on inside, even though I don't feel a thing.
If the tests come back clean, then I'm truly at a loss.

Speaking from experience, there was a time two years ago when I honestly thought the psoriasis was going to kill me. I looked so rough even the devil would've run the other way! To be able to take the Neotigason capsule (which I wouldn't recommend to anyone), I had to get blood drawn every 7 to 10 days. We're talking full panels—especially liver tests. Miraculously, my results actually came back better than people who look perfectly healthy.
I bet yours will stay within the normal range, too.

Based on my body's rhythm, it hits me hard every spring, then just vanishes on its own during the summer—maybe leaving a tiny bit behind. Then, right around the time of the transfiguration at the end of August, it kicks back in like clockwork, unstoppable, all the way until early winter.
It's just this endless loop I can't seem to break. If I could snap out of it, I wouldn't have psoriasis in the first place.🙏
