Grace Green6 said:I’ve honestly never heard of it being dangerous to use St. John's Wort while tanning. I've been doing it for years and my skin has never looked better—my tan is always perfect...
And I have never once gotten burned! It’s actually the opposite. My mom and I used to spend hours out on the rocks in San Francisco and we never got even a hint of redness or a burn... so there is no way anyone can convince me that St. John's Wort isn't great.

St. John's Wort—it soothes the skin, and you can even drink it as a tea because it calms everything down, like your nerves and your stomach.
And olive oil? Man, let me tell you, that is one of the best things nature ever gave us.

A dermatologist would probably just try to push some chemical cream on you because that's what's in it for them, not for me..

Anyway, you've gotta try stuff out. Everyone's skin is different, so you'll see what works best for you.

🙂 St. John's Wort prepared with olive oil using traditional methods (cold pressing) has been known since ancient times as a remedy for external cuts, burns, wound healing, and as an antiseptic—and internally, it's mostly used for liver and stomach pains, etc.
St. John's Wort oil is used either before tanning or later after tanning. It is not recommended to use it and then go out into the sun because it is phototoxic.
Your approach to treating psoriasis with fruits and vegetables is really solid, but I'm confused about which dermatologist would push Labolan cream (a chemical) on you.
I wouldn't recommend tanning with St. John's Wort to anyone; I only use it while staying in the shade.🙂

Jose Murphy7 said:Question: We’re currently treating my son with herbal therapy, but following instructions, we only apply it below the waist. For the upper body, we were told to use brandy if he gets itchy, but that only helps for a few minutes before the itching comes right back. Does anyone have a recommendation for a neutral remedy?

O.T.
Any logo ideas for psoriasis.info...? Please help!

🙂 Personally, I don't think putting alcohol on irritated skin is a great move—it feels like a temporary fix and can actually make the irritation worse. Have you thought about trying an aloe cream with Neven? Or maybe you've heard of Shilajit balm from the Altai Mountains? You could even try Shilajit tablets dissolved in natural pomegranate juice mixed with some honey. If you want, I can send you the recipe.

Chris Morgan67 said:I've dealt with that too😬

but we're talking heavy-duty meds here, and they come with a whole list of side effects.👎

Look, if you've just got a little patch of psoriasis on your elbows or knees, sure, an over-the-counter cream or ointment does the trick. But what happens when everything hits you at once? We're talking plaque psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis all crashing the party at the same time...
What do you guys think?

Chris Morgan67 said:Sure thing, but they haven't found anything good enough to give us in pill form yet😬 so they just hand out creams.

Using them really boosts the quality of life for anyone dealing with psoriasis.👍

If you're looking at oral treatments for psoriasis, there's Accutane made by Roche. I personally took it starting at 30mg, then I'd drop the dose by 10mg every month until I was just taking 1mg every other day. It honestly worked wonders for me, but man, the side effects are absolutely brutal. Plus, I had to go in for blood work every 10 days to monitor my liver enzymes, lipids, glucose, and all that stuff. I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. Luckily, I didn't run into any major issues myself.

Jose Murphy7 said:Mario, you've posted this exact same thing a bunch of times now. Look, I want to believe you mean well, but anyone actually looking for an answer has probably read everything already. Doing it this way? It's starting to look a lot like an ad.

🙂 So, I actually talked to the guy. He said he sends over the description along with his ointment and teas. Just so you know, the tea is about $15, and the 50g jar of ointment is also around $15—maybe $12 depending on the exchange rate. If the stuff actually works, it's a steal. If not? Well, you can judge for yourself... and don't forget you've got shipping costs on top of that!

Robert Clark2 said:🙂 Just wanted to add a little extra to yesterday's post—obviously, check with your dermatologist first! I’d suggest looking into products based on thermal water from the Alps (France), which actually has its own famous dermatology clinic, Uriage. You can find all their stuff over at WWW.MEDILINKBG.CO.YU. Just look for the Link cosmetics and dermatocosmetics section; you can find the dermatology part on either the left or right side. Definitely keep an eye out for Keratosane 30 and Keratosane 15. Hopefully, your doctor thinks they'll work well alongside the current treatment. Since there are no harsh chemicals involved, it should be totally safe.
Best wishes to you and your son!👍

Anonymous said:I'm Mario from Ann Arbor. I found my way to this ointment and tea through some friends, and man, I am seriously thrilled about the results! Psoriasis... it started hitting me about 3 or 4 years ago. I tried countless creams and ointments, saw all sorts of specialists, but honestly? Nothing worked. Nothing. Until I heard about this DOCTOR... He's based in Mexico, so you’ll need to give him a call to chat first, then find someone who can help translate or get everything delivered to your door. Seriously, just make the effort to reach out—he'll walk you through everything, and trust me, it's worth it. Wishing you guys the best! The cream is totally natural, zero nasty stuff like corticosteroids, just very gentle on the skin. And the tea? It drinks easy, just like chamomile tea, and it really helps soothe inflammation. I was blown away. In less than two weeks, my legs cleared right up! I think this is exactly what you're looking for. For the price, I believe one ointment and one cream run about $67. If you're ordering, grab more ointment and less tea—the cream goes fast, while I still have over half my tea left. You apply the cream twice a day, morning and night. Also, you should bathe in nettle during the treatment; it really helps. Ask the guy anything you want; he'll explain it all and even send you a checklist to follow during the process. IT IS WORTH IT, BELIEVE ME.

😕 What specific type or subtype of psoriasis were you dealing with? No pressure to say if you'd rather not, but based on your post, did you actually get cured????? I remember reading an article in the Bulgarian newspaper "Trud" claiming that the World Health Organization announced the person who finds the cure for psoriasis would be nominated for a Nobel Prize in Medicine. That was back in early 2003.
Maybe your doctor has a shot at it, assuming they file the patent, of course.
Every attempt at treating psoriasis so far seems to work backward. They find a treatment and then claim it helps psoriasis, instead of finding the actual cause of the condition first. If we found the cause, the cure would be so much faster and easier to find.
Until then, we're just waiting. Who knows? Maybe by the time we see results, the readers of this forum will have finished their medical specializations.

Casey Miller9 said:Awesome, thanks a ton!👍

🙂 Just wanted to add a quick follow-up to yesterday's post! Of course, definitely run this by your dermatologist first, but I’d suggest looking into thermal water products from the Alps in France. They actually have their own specialized dermatology clinic called Uriage. You can find all their stuff over at Medilink. Check out Medilink. Check out Medilink for skincare and derm essentials! You can browse their full dermatology lineup on the left or dive straight into their product range on the right. Definitely keep an eye out for Keratosane 30 and Keratosane 15—they’re great. I'm pretty sure your dermatologist would give you the thumbs up on using these as a supplement to your current treatment. Plus, there are zero nasty side effects because we're talking zero harsh chemicals here!
Big cheers to you and your son!👍

Casey Miller9 said:The doctor handed us this plan: Neosporin (ugh, steroids again) twice a day for 4 days, then switch to Claritin diluted like a lotion for another 10 days, plus Claritin tablets for 14 days to handle the allergies. Now, I know Claritin is fine—it’s a newer generation antihistamine, so you don't really deal with side effects or getting hooked—but those corticosteroids worry me. I know you shouldn't overdo them. Last time, we used Hydrocortisone back in December, and now he's starting up again with Neosporin and Claritin. Does that count as "frequent" use? Just keep in mind we're only treating a tiny spot. Thanks for the kind words! One more thing: we live on an island, basically constant sun and ocean... can he just head out into the sunshine freely?

🙂Dealing with allergic dermatitis usually means using corticosteroids, but you want to keep that window as short as possible depending on how bad the skin looks. Honestly, using Claritin diluted like a lotion shouldn't cause any issues for such a short stretch. It doesn't seem "frequent" to me since it's been three months since the last round. Prevention is huge here, though! Stick to neutral moisturizers for protection, stay far away from harsh chemicals, and stick to high-quality soaps and shampoos. Some dermatologists even suggest a change in climate helps. My take? Don't let the affected area hit the sun until the allergy settles down, but definitely get him out there once it clears up.
Best regards!

Casey Miller9 said:Finally got a little breather today. We just saw our third dermatologist here in San Francisco, and man, this guy was fantastic. He actually thinks it’s allergic dermatitis rather than psoriasis—says there's a 90% chance he'll grow out of it, especially once he hits puberty. We'll see, but hey, we're staying hopeful! Honestly, hearing it's not psoriasis feels like a huge weight off our shoulders. Huge thanks to you and Chris Morgan67; everything played out exactly like you predicted. Wishing you all the best! I'll definitely be sticking around this forum, maybe even chipping in with some info myself down the road. Cheers!

🙂 So glad to hear it isn't psoriasis for your son! Allergic dermatitis is much easier to manage and treat. Now, you'll just need to stick strictly to the treatment plan, watch out for irritants, and pay close attention to clothing quality—definitely steer clear of anything synthetic.
Sending my best to you and your boy. Really hoping the doctor is right and he makes a full recovery!

Anonymous said:IF ANYONE WANTS THE SPECIFIC DETAILS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AT brexy_b@hotmail.com. I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO ANYONE INTERESTED. I CAN'T ALWAYS GET ONTO THE FORUM, SO I LEFT MY EMAIL HERE.

😕 I have to follow up on my first comment and address this new post too. Look, you don't actually have psoriasis. If you did, you wouldn't be able to answer the questions I asked. You claim you tried one remedy from some herbalist and—poof!—it vanished like a magic trick and never came back? Honestly, that sounds less like a cure and more like a sales pitch. Every single person dealing with psoriasis has cycled through dozens of specialists, endless creams, ointments, and various holistic treatments, only to end up right back where they started. But you? You try one thing and hit the jackpot immediately. To me, this just looks like someone taking advantage of sick people who are desperate enough to grab at straws. And why are you dropping your email? If this guy is such a world-class expert, he surely has his own professional contact info.👎

Casey Miller9 said:Wait, doesn't psoriasis actually flare up more in the spring? You’d think all that extra sunshine would help clear things up, right? Or am I totally off base?

That’s exactly what happens to me! At the start of winter, it almost completely vanishes—I wouldn't even say I have it—and I'm not even using any creams. But now? It's starting to flare back up. I've got to stay on top of it with my ointments to keep it under control until summer hits and we can finally get in the water. I live right by the coast, and honestly, saltwater is like magic for this stuff. Psoriasis is such a seasonal roller coaster; for me, spring and fall are the absolute worst. And about the sun—it's tricky! You can't just bake in it directly; you really need to stick under an umbrella.
How's your son doing? What's the word from his doctors?

Anonymous said:Psoriasis is a total nightmare, seriously. But look, I tried this remedy from a herbalist over in Mexico and man, it worked like magic. In just two weeks, everything cleared right up. It felt like some kind of trickster's secret—I was honestly floored. And the best part? That nasty, irritating skin condition hasn't come back once. If you want the specific details from the expert, just shoot me an email. Get started on it, because I’m telling you, this stuff actually works. brexy_b@hotmail.com

😕 Give me a bit more info! What kind of psoriasis are we talking about? How long has this been going on? And what’s the track record with treatments—what have you actually tried so far? If this just flared up recently, my advice is to hang tight for a second. Spring is finally hitting, and honestly, once the weather warms up, the skin usually starts cooperating too. Just hold steady!👎

Susan Flores25 said:I wanted to jump in and share my experience.
I’m 37 and living in Cleveland. I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for over a decade now—it hits my palms and the skin around my knuckles pretty hard. About ten years ago, I went to see a dermatologist with a referral. She just handed me some Locasalen and called it a day. Same old routine: check my head, elbows, knees, back, tell me not to stress, watch my diet, blah blah blah.
Fast forward to a few days ago. I searched online for specialists in Cleveland and found a handful. After a bit of trial and error, I ended up right back at the same doctor. I thought, "Hey, since everything has gone private lately, maybe the patient care will actually be better?" Boy, was I wrong. First off, the vibe while waiting was just terrible. The office feels stuck in the past—you can hear everything happening in the waiting room, there are those old metal exam beds, and the privacy screens are just scraps of old sheets. And of course, it’s the exact same doctor. One thing that bugged me immediately was how she talked down to me using "you" in such an informal, disrespectful way. (Look, I know I look a bit youthful for nearly 40, but still!) She grabs a notepad and goes, "Okay, we have this revolutionary stuff now—Zorro. You'll use that alongside Belmond." My internal alarm bells went off instantly because I hadn't heard much about it. So, I told her straight up: I don't want Belmond, and I'm skeptical about Zorro. I mentioned I'd read a lot about Psoriasis and asked what she thought. She just brushed me off. "Zorro is great, and I'll write you a prescription." She kept acting all superior, like, "Ugh, I could offer you a treatment that costs $15,000, but who would I even recommend that to?"
Seriously, why does she even care about my wallet?! Why isn't she laying out all our actual options? Aren't doctors supposed to HELP us? The first thing I read online when I got home was that you shouldn't use Zorro if you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, because the retinoid can harm the baby. Given how casually she addressed me and the fact that she already asked for my birth date, shouldn't she have checked if I was pregnant or planning to be, considering my age? I've been trying to conceive for six months now, and honestly, I think the stress from all this is part of why it hasn't happened yet. 😬 🙄 So yeah, I'm under constant stress.
I told her again, "Look, I read about Psoriasis and I'd really rather try that. I saw online that you can order it through a pharmacy in New York." But she just played dumb and mumbled something about trying a private pharmacy if they were willing to make it.
Anyway, long story short: I managed to order the Psoriasis treatment without too much trouble. That specific pharmacy handles orders easily—you just need a private prescription and a deposit. And get this—the doctor clearly knew this was possible because as soon as I showed up again, she called the pharmacy herself to confirm what they told me! I had to trek back to the office for a private script and then back to the pharmacy, even though she could have handled the whole thing IMMEDIATELY the first time.
I am so incredibly disappointed. I don't get how someone can be so indifferent and just breeze through patients without actually asking about their lives. Beyond the standard "how's work/stress/diet" questions, she didn't care one bit about my actual needs or situation before deciding on a treatment.
So, I'm just playing the waiting game now until my Psoriasis cream arrives in two weeks. In the meantime, I'm sticking to the Belmond for about 10 days since the instructions say—my skin is looking pretty rough right now—and then I'll see if this Psoriasis stuff actually works. I haven't been able to find anything online regarding how it affects pregnancy, which is a bit nerve-wracking. It might be a bust, but hey, it's worth a shot!

😕 Honestly, it doesn't make sense. You saw a dermatologist ten years ago, then went back just the other day, and now you're basically guessing at your own health by trial and error with the same doctor? Especially when you're trying to get pregnant! Usually, you'd hit up an OB-GYN first. Look, when you see a dermatologist, you aren't there to inspect their office or check if they upgraded their equipment; you're there because you're miserable and want relief. Believe me, I've cycled through dozens of specialists—including some big-shot department heads and professors—and I've wasted a fortune on endless tubs of creams and ointments. Money aside, I don't hold doctors against them. They aren't the problem. It's my genetics, my stress levels, and my environment. Just take it easy on yourself. Avoid the stressful stuff to keep the psoriasis flares down, and most importantly, watch what you eat.🙂

driftingcyclist303 said:How can you tell if it's psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis? Can psoriasis actually clear up or go away just by using an anti-dandruff shampoo? Or maybe what my husband had was just seborrheic dermatitis that cleared up thanks to that Ultrex shampoo?😕

Here's the deal on telling them apart—with psoriasis, you're looking at dry, silvery-white scales. Seborrheic dermatitis is different; those flakes tend to be yellowish and greasy. Based on what you described, it sounds like your husband was dealing with seborrheic dermatitis.

Depending on who's making it, you'll see this stuff called all sorts of things—Baby Cream, Pavloderm, or even Pavlovic’s Kids Vitamin Cream. For me? It’s been a total lifesaver. Lately, though, I’ve switched over to an Alter cream made with Calendula from Germany. It’s great for burns, dry or cracked skin, allergies, lichen, and even chapped lips. You can just grab it at any local drugstore, and it won't break the bank. It spreads like a dream and sinks right into your skin. Honestly, I'm super happy with it. Around here, everyone knows Calendula is the go-to for handling psoriasis.

Adam Wells43 said:Chris Morgan67, thanks for the tip! I’ve officially decided to ditch the Beloderm and Belosal. My skin is absolutely stinging and looks bright red now. Just tell me—what are the actual signs of skin tuberculosis? How do you even spot it?

If your skin is red, stinging, and probably bone-dry, it sounds a lot like psoriatic erythroderma to me. I've dealt with that exact mess before. Honestly? Your best bet is to just call a dermatologist.

Henry Vaughn57 said:Don't you dare give up—that’s rule number one! You can totally manage this on your own without a doctor if you watch your diet and stick to the NONI Juice I use. The real issue is us; doctors just want to treat the symptoms from the outside. It's like being stationed at an ExxonMobil refinery—you have a specific menu meant for you, but it's all useless if you go to bed wrapped up like a mummy in some 5% Belosalica balm. Stick to dandelion, NONI, and stay away from chocolate in any kind of pork dish to stay in control.
🙂

Whoops, I think you misunderstood my "mummy" comment—I wasn't being literal! I was talking about Shilajit, which is a natural resin found in the Altai Mountains of Russia. And look, I'm not trying to run an ad here; if you want details, shoot me a DM. I just read up on it online—just search for SHILAJIT. The Russian Federation actually recognizes that balm as official medicine. I have a book right here with totally natural recipes for a healthy life. Honestly, I was skeptical at first too, so I checked with a pharmacologist. They told me even perfectly healthy people use it!

Henry Vaughn57 said:About the doctors:
The first one claims it isn't psoriasis and suggests Beloderm, which feels a bit off, right?
The second one says it might be psoriasis but just recommends a neutral cream—isn't that even weirder?
Since we're talking about a kid, I really need more specifics. Here's my deal: I dealt with psoriasis for 16 years. Finally kicked it, and I've been clear for 4 months now. That's my personal best. Shoot me a message so we can talk details.🙏

Look, there are tons of different types of psoriasis, and they often overlap. Some doctors just don't know how to tell them apart. Honestly, Beloderm works just a tiny bit better than a plain neutral cream, and you can't go wrong with a neutral cream since it won't cause side effects. But when a child is involved, you have to be super careful. I truly hope this doesn't flare up again, but I'm a skeptic. In my experience, it can disappear for much longer than yours, only to come roaring back later or pop up somewhere else entirely. I've even had doctors ask me, "What's going on with your skin?" and I was so sick of explaining that I'd just say "nothing." So, what do you guys think? Right now, I'm taking Mumiyo tablets dissolved in some pomegranate juice and honey. No side effects so far, and the discomfort is totally manageable.😕
