Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]

Thanks everyone—I really hope you all get to experience this kind of relief soon, too! Wishing you all the best and hoping for as little psoriasis as possible in your lives. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how things go! Best to everyone

Finally, that annoying guy is gone. I’m really hoping they clear all this out soon, too—summer is right around the corner, and with it comes all those uncomfortable issues popping up everywhere. Plus, there's work to be done. Sometimes you actually have to break a sweat, and personally, if I sweat even a little bit, the itching becomes unbearable. Unfortunately, the local hospitals won't offer much help. It's just one of those systems where regular people like us don't get much support.

Morning.
God bless you all.

It seems like Big Brother is always watching Michael Ramos3...............🍿🙂

Question for goldenstag213

What would you do with your current offer?

Best,

God bless,

Well, look who’s finally back among us! 😍
Is sales really falling that far behind the business plan? Are we actually missing our Q1 budget targets by a mile?
It sure is tough being a solo entrepreneur trying to navigate such a volatile market all on your own.
🙂

What was that, jadesailor14?
You can't come up with anything smart or professional, so you just resort to DMing me about my posts.

You're getting boring, and honestly, you haven't been professional for a long time.
But that's your problem, not mine.

God bless.

Hey Michael Ramos3, since you clearly think you’re such a genius with that silver tongue of yours, why don't you just run for President of the United States or something else entirely!! Who knows, maybe you'll end up being Einstein's successor!! You might actually make history, man... honestly, that would be a much better use of your time than bothering people on this forum!!!

Greeting everyone! I’m just another person dealing with the struggle of psoriasis. It all started for me right after I had my baby. At first, I tried Cherry's ointment, then moved on to Daivonex, and then spent quite a bit of time experimenting with various herbal teas and tinctures from both local pharmacies and holistic herbalists. Most recently, I was using Butavate ointment, but honestly, nothing I've tried so far has really made a dent in it. Yesterday, I finally went to see my dermatologist, and I was honestly ready to lose my cool with him. Well, he told me he'll prescribe some tablets, but only after we get my bloodwork back. In the meantime, he wants me to follow this plan:

- 10% salicylic acid under an occlusive dressing for 10-14 days, applied to the body
- 6% salicylic acid gel for the scalp
(He wrote out the prescription and I had it custom-made at the pharmacy)
After that period is over, I'll move on to:
- Diprosalic ointment under an occlusive dressing for 14 nights
- Diprosalic lotion—about 20 drops at night for 14 nights on the scalp.

Has anyone else here ever gone through a treatment regimen like this? I'm starting tonight, so I guess we'll see how things look in 28 days.

I haven't had much luck with Diprosalic—it’s just a cycle of applying it and then having everything flare up twice as bad... Right now, I'm not using anything at all, and honestly, things are pretty much under control. A little bit pops up here and there, but it isn't nearly as brutal as it used to be.

Honestly, if you’ve got any actual experience dealing with this kind of pressure, I’d advise against even touching that stuff. From what I’ve seen, the only thing that actually worked for me—without causing any side effects—was Psorex and some herbal teas to help flush everything out. Anything industrial or those fake "miracle cures" you see advertised in places like New York won't do a damn thing for you.

..haven't been on this thread in a minute. Anyway, I can say the Daivonex therapy actually worked for me—still got a little hotspot on my left elbow, but I'm sure that'll clear up once the sun comes out and the weather gets nice... or so I hope...

..Yeah, seriously... if anyone needs some, I've got almost an entire tube of Daivonex just sitting here unused. My only issue is that I can't find the expiration date anywhere. I picked this up back in 2005 (hopefully these ointments stay good for at least five years, right? 🤷 ). If there's any way to figure out how long this stuff actually lasts, let me know. If someone really needs it—I'm more than happy to just pop it in the mail or whatever...

Hey everyone 👋I really need some advice from you all!!!
I might actually make it out to Garr Ruff this year... and since I deal with psoriasis on my scalp, I’m thinking I should just SHAVE my whole head!!😵The thing is, I have long hair... and I honestly don't know if I can do it! To be real, I'm not sure I'd even want to, because my scalp isn't even THAT bad right now. It used to be way worse... but for two years now, it hasn't been an issue. Just washing regularly and keeping up with the treatments on the sensitive spots... it's not a huge struggle!

I guess I basically answered my own "question," but... why would I ask if I didn't value your input?!
What do you suggest? Should I just shave it all off and maybe "fix" the psoriasis once and for all, or should I just leave it alone??????

😕😕😕😕🤷

👋Greeting to everyone!!!!

Greetings to everyone!!!!

I certainly wouldn't touch my own 🙂....besides, whenever I try to visualize how I'd actually look 😱
Just dive right in (kind of like Ariel) and let the little fishies find their way straight to your scalp! 😍

Dive deep like Ariel, let those little fish find their way straight to your soul. 😍

Thanx !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉
I asked Mary about it, and she says it's not even necessary... but hey, I'm paying for it, so it's my call!!!
I honestly can't even imagine myself with short hair... let alone no hair at all!! It's just awful. Absolute nightmare!🙂

I really like your advice.🙂

Greeting👋

Greetings everyone. I have a young daughter who developed psoriasis when she was just about 6 pounds. She’s 18 pounds now. After trying various empty promises from topical creams, nothing worked quite as effectively as Psorcutan ointment.
The only lingering issue is that she has these white patches left on her legs and diaper area. I am wondering if these spots will eventually fade away on their own or what to expect? 🙄

I started using Dr. Michaels' stuff back on January 15th. Fast forward about a month, and my psoriasis is basically 99% gone. I’d been messing around with White Hall for over a year before this, but honestly, nothing really worked. I'm super happy with the Dr. Michaels products. For the first two weeks, I was applying them morning and night, then just switched to once a day at night. I'd say I recommend them to everyone. I picked mine up in Chicago through Viderm—they have a website if you need it. Greeting

I'm really hoping those white spots aren't from loss of pigmentation—which can happen if you get too much sun exposure after using Psorcutan. I hope I'm wrong about that.
If the spots are just because the psoriasis cleared up in those specific areas, then I imagine they'll disappear once the skin fully regenerates.
I also personally think Psorcutan is probably the best option out there for psoriasis creams. Just... maybe avoid the corticosteroids. Greeting 😍

Until recently, I was convinced that even if my psoriasis cleared up, the spots would stay forever. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded... but... lately I've been going to tanning salons thinking it might help a bit, though it hasn't really... anyway, I had one big spot where the psoriasis first showed up on my legs and then disappeared! Only the spot remained. And to my surprise, that spot actually darkened on my legs too...!
So yeah, I just don't know...............👍

Sending love to our little warrior! Fingers crossed this is all behind her once and for all!!!!!
