Hey there! Just had a quick question for you guys...🙂 does anyone deal with scalp psoriasis, and if so, what kind of shampoo are you actually using? I feel like I've cycled through a hundred different brands and nothing seems to touch it... total nightmare. I just picked up some Asebon recently and I've only washed my hair with it twice, but honestly, I think it might finally be the one that works...🙂
I already told them: anyone who emails me will get a follow-up with all the details from that gentleman over in Mexico, and that’s that. I’m just sharing what happened on my end. I've got no bad intentions here—I know firsthand how ugly this whole situation can get. A few people have already reached out, and I’ve walked them through everything they asked about... but hey, if anyone actually wants some help, there's really nothing to lose.
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!
wearywalker9 Asks: Hello... Just one quick question...🙂 Do you deal with scalp psoriasis, and if so, which shampoo actually works for you? I feel like I’ve cycled through a hundred different brands and nothing has made a dent. I just picked up some Asebon, and though I’ve only used it twice, it seems to be performing better than anything else so far...🙂
I'm not using any at the moment. Just let me know the exact name of that Aesop shampoo so I can give it a try...🙂
In this week's issue of National, there's an extensive feature on the black water in Moravian Springs... supposedly quite effective for treating psoriasis.

The doc prescribed this: Neosporin (ugh, steroids again) twice a day for 4 days, then Benadryl diluted like a lotion for another 10 days, plus some Claritin tablets for 14 days. I know Claritin isn't a big deal since it's a newer antihistamine with basically zero side effects or dependency issues, but the corticosteroids... they bug me. I know you aren't supposed to use them constantly. Last time he used Cortizone-10 back in December, and now he's starting up again with Neosporin and Benadryl—does that count as "frequent" use? Keeping in mind we're only treating a tiny area here. Thanks for the kind words. One more thing—we live on an island, tons of sun and ocean everywhere—can he just hang out in the sun normally?

There is NO CURE for psoriasis. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow for those of us living with it, but it’s just the plain truth. We can talk about all kinds of different therapies, medications, or even those "home remedies" that might ease the symptoms and make life a little more bearable, but when someone claims they can actually cure me? Honestly, it drives me crazy.
We’re essentially a prime target group for every snake oil salesman and charlatan out there looking to make a quick buck—especially since there are millions of us dealing with this across America. On the flip side, we also tend to grab at any straw, desperately searching for some magic formula that will finally rid us of this frustrating condition.
Look, I’ve had more than enough experience with people peddling "miracle creams," and I’ve wasted a small fortune on them. But enough is enough. Now, whenever someone tries to sell me a drug that supposedly "CURES" psoriasis, I tell them, "Sure, why not? Hand over the ointment and let me try it. If it actually works, I’ll happily pay you five times your asking price!" Ha! Of course, the answer is always a resounding NO.
Sorry, please don't take this personally; I didn't mean to be offensive. Maybe you truly just want to help, but I’m asking you to please rephrase that "CURES PSORIASIS" part to something like "helps manage" or "relieves symptoms."
NICE ONE. Just a quick thought on that medication from the pharmacy: the girl there doesn't even know what it is, she just knows it works because people keep coming back for it. HMMMMM... if it’s such a miracle cure, why is everyone still needing it?
Chris Morgan67 said:I'm actually not using any at the moment. Could you give me the exact name of that sebaceous shampoo? I'd love to give it a shot.🙂
By the way, there's a massive feature in this week's Democratic Party publication about some black spring water over in Palm Springs that's supposedly amazing for treating psoriasis.
Actually, I caught that same article in the Democratic Party paper too, and it sounds pretty intriguing. I already went ahead and called the spa to ask about treatments—it looks like it costs about $1667—so I was wondering if anyone here has actually been there before? I'd really appreciate some firsthand feedback so I don't end up throwing my money down the drain. To be honest, I found it incredibly suspicious when I asked them if they had any "before and after" photos from previous clients; they claimed they didn't have anything, and frankly, that's an immediate red flag for me!!

Oh, sure, nothing to lose... except maybe the cash in your wallet... and who knows what kind of "reward" you'll get for it.
@goldenstag213/">@@goldenstag213 I suppose you can doubt the waters in Palm Springs if you like. Personally, I’m planning a trip there to soak for a while once I have some extra cash... it could be a nice way to unwind 🙂
And one more thing—I'm with all those brave psoriasis fighters who refuse to fall for the gimmicks. One day, when a real cure is finally found (and it will be), it'll almost certainly be an oral medication rather than just another cream.
After all, psoriasis is just what shows up on the skin; the actual issue is happening deep inside our bodies...🙂
I caught that article about Palm Springs. Look, I’m all for anything that actually works, but personally, I think Vaseline treatments are way more effective. They have this small thermal pool there too that's great for psoriasis, alongside the petroleum therapy which is the real deal. People travel from all over Northern Italy just for it—some even swear it beats the Dead Sea in Israel. You get visitors from Canada, Russia, even parts of the old Soviet Union. Plus, you can pick up their specific petroleum-based creams and oils. Later, everyone 🙂

Honestly, that kind of petroleum treatment doesn't appeal to me at all, and my doctors wouldn't recommend it anyway. First of all, I met a woman once where the petroleum actually had the opposite effect; immediately after her treatment, her entire body broke out in psoriasis and she ended up in the ER.👎
It’s essentially crude oil, and frankly, I'm afraid to put that on my sensitive skin. It might be natural, but it seems like a pretty aggressive treatment...
Plus, an old neighbor of mine who is 70 ran away from those retreats because the crowd was just too boring...🤣
So, if I go anywhere, it'll probably be to Canada first. Their spas are a step above what we have here...
Look, all I can say is.. stay far away from those over-the-counter products.. just stick to washing with plain water and all those issues will clear up on their own.. give it a week or two... all that chemical junk just wrecks your face and ruins your skin. our doctors are basically in the pockets of big pharma companies.. so they'll just prescribe some random stuff that won't even help you—it'll probably just make things worse. Peace
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!

I'm thinking if you dilute Claritin like a lotion, it shouldn't cause any major side effects for such a brief window. It’s probably not even a common issue, but hey, it's been three months since I last used steroids anyway. Prevention is huge here too—just stick to neutral moisturizers as a barrier, stay far away from harsh chemicals, and use high-quality soaps and shampoos. Some dermatologists even suggest a change in climate helps. My take? Don't expose the irritated area to the sun until the allergy settles down, then go for it later. Best,
I'm Mario from Ann Arbor. I actually found my way to this ointment and tea through some friends, and honestly, I am beyond grateful. Psoriasis is a nightmare. It started hitting me about 3 or 4 years ago, and after endless failed attempts with various creams and seeing all sorts of specialists, nothing seemed to work. That was until I heard about this DOCTOR... He's based in Mexico, so you'll need to give him a call and talk things through. From there, you can find someone to help coordinate getting everything delivered directly to you. Trust me, just make the effort to reach out—he'll walk you through everything, and it is absolutely worth it. I wish you all the best. The cream is completely natural, with zero nasty stuff like corticosteroids, and it's very gentle on the skin. As for the tea, it’s easy to drink, just like chamomile tea, and it really helps soothe inflammation; I was honestly blown away. In less than two weeks, the patches on my legs were completely gone, so I think this is exactly what you've been looking for. If I remember correctly, the price for one ointment and one cream is around $67. If you're going to order, my advice is to grab more of the ointment and less of the tea, because the ointment goes faster; I still have more than half my tea left, and I only use the cream twice a day, morning and night. Also, you should bathe in plum extract during the treatment, which really helps. Just ask the guy any questions you have; he'll explain everything and even send over a checklist to follow during the process. IT IS WORTH IT, believe me.

🙂 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!👍

😕 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.

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!👍
Replying to the previous post.WWW.MEDILINKBG.CO.YU My bad!
Hello, everyone. I’m stepping in to change the subject and pose a question. For about two months now, I’ve been using the 0.05% Zorac, and frankly, the results were excellent. However, over the last week or so, I made the decision to move up to the 0.1% strength. Now I'm running into an issue: the healthy skin surrounding my treatment areas is developing these red patches immediately after application. I’m at a bit of a crossroads—should I halt this treatment entirely, or simply revert to the 0.05% Zorac? If anyone has navigated similar issues, I would appreciate some insight.
I am looking for someone with actual experience using Labolan gel and cream to clarify a few things: when applying them, should you be using a tapping or patting motion against the skin?
Also, did any of you experience those "volcano" eruptions—where you get a pus-filled center surrounded by a red, painful area that's sensitive to the touch?
Furthermore, did the infected patches of skin turn a bright, vivid red?
How much time actually passed before you started seeing visible improvements in your skin condition?
And finally, were you applying this cream to your face as well, or strictly just on your body?
That covers all my questions. 🙂 Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!
