Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]

Now that things have finally settled down, we can focus on treating Psoriasis.😁

Polly, thank you so much!

Linda Chase81 said:Could someone save me the trouble and let me know the price of Psoriasis cream? Also, I'm wondering if I should run some tests before I start using it... 🙏 🙏

A 30g jar of Psoriasis ointment... $57 I checked at a local pharmacy near downtown, and a 90g jar is around $500–$600, if I recall correctly what Robin Robinson8 mentioned...

An ointment works much better than a cream...

The only issue is that this cream doesn't work for everyone—for some, it doesn't seem to do anything at all. You really need to commit to applying it consistently for at least a month before you see any results... and it tends to be most effective when dealing with mild to moderate psoriasis...

Mixing 5% salicylic acid into some Vaseline might help boost the effectiveness... It works best when paired with UVB phototherapy, though you have to be careful—using Psoriasis treatment and then heading out into the sun can leave lasting marks, whereas the UVB combo doesn't seem to cause that issue...🙏

Actually, I’d suggest seeing Dr. Stanimirović. Both he and Robin Robinson8 recommended him to me... you should be able to find his office address online...
Because those folks over at the Mayo Clinic don't seem to have any real clue about Psoriasis...👎

Your best bet is to schedule an appointment with him directly... ask him everything you need to know, and he’ll walk you through it all clearly...😍😍

Sure, you can apply Psoriasis cream on your own, but I’d say it’s better to just go in for that one checkup for peace of mind...

Greetings to everyone on this sub-forum. It looks like things have been getting pretty wild over the last few days...😂🤣😁

Today’s my last day before I head out on vacation. Honestly, we're going to do what we have to do and get rid of this nuisance once and for all. I tried it once before, but it wasn't exactly ideal—plus, we had a few rainstorms lately, so things felt a bit too chilly. I can't think of any good jokes off the top of my head right now. Keep smiling, everyone. Have a good one.

Look, if you ask me, just stay in the water as much as possible and soak up the sun. You might also try mixing 5% salicylic acid into some Vaseline every five days to help clear those flakes👍

For me, that’s the gold standard for clearing scales. I’m definitely packing it for my trip to the coast this year, since the sun and salt tend to make everything work even better...

Enjoy yourself. Best regards...😉 😍🙏

Chris Morgan67 said:Is anyone else using the 30g jar of Psoriasis ointment? I’m looking to see how much this typically lasts for someone dealing with regular flare-ups. $57 I stopped by the pharmacy near the downtown market, and a 90g container is running about $500 to $600—at least, that's what Robin Robinson8 mentioned earlier.

Is an ointment actually more effective than a cream? Personally, I think the ointment wins every time.

The only real catch with this cream is that it isn't a magic bullet for everyone. For some people, it honestly doesn't seem to do much at all. You really have to commit to applying it consistently for at least a month before you even start to see results. In my experience, it works best when you're dealing with mild to moderate Psoriasis.

It might be worth considering mixing 5% salicylic acid into some Vaseline to boost its effectiveness. In my experience, you get the best results when you pair it with UVB phototherapy. Just a word of caution, though: stay out of the sun while using Psoriasis treatment, otherwise you risk ending up with nasty skin discoloration. Interestingly, that isn't an issue when you're combining it specifically with UVB therapy.🙏

Honestly, I’d suggest seeing Dr. Stanimirović. Both he and Robin Robinson8 recommended him to me. You can find his office location online—just search for his practice in downtown Chicago and you should be able to track him down easily.
Honestly, those folks over at the Mayo Clinic don't have the slightest clue when it comes to Psoriasis.👎

Honestly, your best bet is to just book an appointment with him. Go see him in person, lay all your questions on the table, and ask away. He’s great at breaking everything down so you actually understand what's going on. Why guess when you can get a clear explanation directly from the expert?😍😍

Sure, you can apply Psoriasis cream on your own without seeing a specialist, but I really think it's better to just go in for that one consultation. Wouldn't you feel more at ease knowing for certain?

Hey everyone, welcome to the sub-forum! It looks like things have been absolutely wild here over the last few days.😂🤣😁

Hey there! How's everyone doing today?
Could someone tell me if Dr. Stanimirović runs a private practice, or can you see him using an insurance referral? Also, does anyone know what kind of blood work they perform at the Mayo Clinic to help diagnose psoriasis? My son's doctor is currently stuck between deciding if he actually has psoriasis or just seborrheic dermatitis, and we really need some clarity.🙂🙂🙂

Dr. Andrija Stanimirović’s number is 01/3820-077—he's in private practice, and honestly, he's fantastic.
I'm not entirely sure about the specific test they use—as far as I know, Mayo Clinic doesn't handle dermatology specifically—but who knows what they can find in a blood panel, right?
Best, 😍

Robin Robinson8 said:You can reach Dr. Andrija Stanimirović at 212-555-0198. He runs a private practice and he's truly top-tier.
I'm not entirely sure what their specific testing protocols look like—as far as I know, they don't have a dedicated dermatology wing there—but who knows what else they can uncover through blood work?
Best, 😍

Thanks so much for the info. Does anyone know what the consultation fees are, or can kids be seen using an insurance referral?🙂

Man, I see you guys are still stuck on the same old topics. Look, I’ve been dealing with Psoriasis since '91, and honestly, my skin is looking pretty damn good right now. I wanted to drop some advice on how I actually got to this point—where it looks like the Psoriasis has totally vanished, even though I know deep down it's just lying low, waiting for the right moment to flare up again. Last year, after three years of feeling okay, I ended up back at the Mayo Clinic, and even when they discharged me, things were actually looking better than when I first checked in. Once I got home, I decided to take a piece of advice from a friend of mine—she’s a pharmacist over in Belgrade—and she told me to ditch all those greasy ointments like Beloderm or Psorcutan immediately. Instead, I started treating the affected spots with nothing but natural stuff—basically just various oils after I shower, some beeswax salves, and most importantly, I started a massive regimen of natural teas to detox my liver and my whole system. After about ten days of drinking these specific herbal blends she gave me—which, by the way, you can find in any health food store around here—I started drinking 1-2 liters of green tea every single day, plus two cups of a special blend made from oak bark, calendula, nettle root, nettle leaf, nettle seed, and dandelion root. On top of that, I’ve just been using calendula salve. To this day, I still drink my two cups of green tea and just use calendula cream after showering, because man, my skin gets incredibly dry after a bath. My friend mentioned there’s this one dermatologist at the VA Hospital who says the biggest issue with Psoriasis is actually using stuff like Beloderm and those types of creams—they just irritate the skin even more, when what you actually need is something to soothe it, not make it angry.

Grace Hughes42 Asks:
Thanks so much for the info—really appreciate it. I was wondering, though, what kind of prices are we looking at for these consultations? Or, I guess, is it possible for kids to get seen using an insurance referral?🙂

Usually, private practices charge for a consultation regardless of whether it’s for a kid or an adult—and I guess that's also how this guy operates. If I'm reading this right, it sounds like it was just a first visit. $133 And every single one following that— $67.
Hey there! 😍

Robin Robinson8 said:Typically, private practices charge for a consultation regardless of whether you're seeing them for a child or an adult, so that applies here too. My understanding is that the initial visit is $133 while every follow-up is $67.
Best, 😍

Thanks again, truly.

Adam Wells43 said:I only treat the affected areas with natural stuff, like different oils after my shower, beeswax, and most importantly, taking a specific blend of natural teas to detox my liver and my whole body.

Lately, I’ve been thinking the smartest move would be to soothe my liver, because this whole situation is starting to drive me crazy... I heard dandelion tea is the best for a liver detox, have you ever tried it? 🤷

Unfortunately, many teas available on the market are quite poor quality, containing very little actual natural or pure ingredients.

Perhaps we could identify some reliable brands here that we can actually trust when it comes to tea.

Look, nobody’s actually buying those mass-market teas from brands like Lipton or Bigelow. What’s the point? If you want results, you buy your tea from actual herbal apothecaries—the kind where everything is 100% natural, dried properly, and free of any junk additives. I drink them myself, and honestly, I'm convinced they work. You've got to do something to support your internal system.

I agree completely.
It is just more difficult to make tea without using bags (unless you use Linost?).

CAN YOU PLEASE REPEAT WHICH TEAS YOU WERE DRINKING? WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? I'VE BEEN DRINKING GREEN TEA FOR OVER A YEAR NOW BUT IT HELPED LOWER MY HOLESTEROL INSTEAD. CALENDULA CREAMS—THANK GOD THEY EXIST AND AREN'T PRICEY. BIG HELLO FROM Texas.👍

hiddenviper17 said:I completely agree.
The only issue is making loose tea without bags—unless you use Linost.

Linost affects everyone. No one is immune.😁
Grab some high-quality tea from a local herbal shop (I recommend Herbarium or Suban), then pick up a pack of unbleached paper filter bags from DM (100 count/$4.00). It’s the perfect compromise between quality and convenience.

And what about the tea selection?

Just take a spoonful of the mix and stir it into boiling water. Personally, I brew a blend of about ten different teas at once. Some people prefer a heavier ratio, others go lighter, but you just mix it all together to create one final tea. You only need one small spoonful per cup. As for buying fancy filters or whatever else—forget it. We’re doing things the old-fashioned way here, and we know what works.

I’ve been lurking on this forum and specifically following this topic for a few months now...
Like most people here, I’ve been battling Psoriasis for about 10 years. Honestly, I haven’t found a single doctor who actually knows what they're doing, except for one specialist out of Mexico about four years ago who claimed a "complete cure."👍
My mom was vacationing at the coast and ran into this woman selling those little vials. She bought two of them as a test run for me—just $5 each. I tried one just on my thighs to see if it worked, and believe me, for four years, that spot hasn't flared up! Occasionally it acts up for maybe two or three days, but it clears right back up, specifically where I applied it.
I tried to order more a couple of times, but the lady told me there aren't any direct shipping routes from Mexico to our area—only to major hubs like Washington, D.C. or New York City (which is way too far for me...). I’m not trying to run an ad for anyone here, I swear... but if anyone wants the details, just hit me up...

I have two URGENT questions:
1.) What was the name of that snake venom you guys mentioned? How do I get my hands on it, and can someone please drop a direct link to that video of the kid getting those injections?

2.) Has anyone actually used TOPISOLON cream from Germany? Someone offered to buy it for me, but I’m hesitant... I’ve never even heard of it, let alone seen it. They say it's for Psoriasis, but who knows?

If anyone can answer these two things ASAP, please do. I’m on a deadline—I have to tell them by the day after tomorrow whether they should pick it up or not...

I also need to vent a little bit to everyone. I haven't had the guts to speak up until now, even if it's just online...

LOVE YOU ALL, YOU'RE THE BEST👍👍🙏👍

Regarding the idea of detoxing the liver, it’s always a good concept to keep in mind.
Given my own liver issues—which official doctors can't quite pin down either, they just know what it isn't—characterized by constantly elevated enzymes (ALT, AST) along with high bilirubin and triglycerides (and sometimes HOLESTEROL).

The liver responds really well to artichoke extract (you'll find it in almost any health food store); it's one of the best tools for drainage. After using it for a few months, you might notice your sense of taste returning to normal, which makes you realize just how bad your daily diet actually is.

You can also find supplements like RELIV FORTE and LIV52 in pharmacies. You basically need to take them constantly, cycling them every two months. In my experience, they are easily the top two natural options out there.

Any kind of root vegetable helps the liver (beets, radishes, horseradish, etc.).
Start adding more curry powder to your meals. There were times I was going through a tablespoon a day.
Eat spicy food.
Eat half a fresh pineapple every single day.

There's also shark liver oil, but honestly, it's overpriced for what it is. It mostly just provides Omega-3s, which you can get much cheaper from a simple can of tuna or, if you're lucky, some cheap mackerel.

A sick liver can't handle physical exhaustion (long runs, intense manual labor), sunbathing, alcohol, anger (adrenaline is bad news, so skip extreme sports that spike it), stress, or fear. Note that I'm talking about a compromised liver; those of you dealing with Psoriasis don't necessarily have liver issues.

My apologies to the moderator if this post sounds like I'm promoting something; I give you my word, I don't manufacture any of this stuff, and this isn't self-promotion.🙂😉
