Just grab it already! What are you waiting for?👋

Brexy would probably give you the lowdown himself if he hadn't been banned from every single forum out there.🙂 🙂

Good grief, Joshua Allen54, are you Brexy or did you just totally forget who you are???

Sophia Campbell73 said:copperviper102, I am seriously happy about the progress you've made. Just wondering—did you ever have psoriasis flare up in other spots that have since cleared up, and how many years have you been dealing with this?

Look, psoriasis is one of those chronic, recurring things—it just keeps coming back. You might use a specific cream and see a spot clear up, but then after a while, it can pop right back up in the exact same place, or even worse, spread to somewhere else entirely. It’s totally unpredictable.
That's just my experience with it.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what happened to me, too.

Psoriasis is a chronic, recurring condition. You treat a specific spot with a certain product and it clears up, but after some time, it can come back in that exact same spot—or show up somewhere else entirely, often worse than before. You never know what it'll do.
That's just my experience.

My dad went through the exact same thing.
The longest he ever went without symptoms—though it was never practically 100% clear—was maybe a month and a half to two months. Then, just like you said, it came back even worse.
What about you? What’s the longest stretch you've had, and was it ever truly clear, without a single patch?

Robert Clark2 said:That’s exactly what I’ve been going through too.

I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for a little over 15 years now... honestly, I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but it kicked in toward the end of elementary school and hit my scalp first (I’m 31 now). For the longest time, it stayed strictly on my head, but over the last few years, it started spreading to my chest and lower down, just like I mentioned before. I never actually dealt with the classic spots like elbows or knees. I’ve tried God knows how many things to fix it and haven't seen much real progress... maybe all that experimenting actually made it spread more lately, who knows? My experience has been that the psoriasis stays pretty constant and aggressive. I never had those massive, extreme flare-ups like Octo and those guys. Usually, being at the beach would make things significantly better—especially back when I was a kid and would spend like a month and a half out by the coast. The only side effect I got from using the ointment was this tiny little spot on my leg (right near my "pride and joy") that looked like a slightly larger pimple popping up after two or three days of use. I wasn't even surprised because I’d been told that the ointment could actually trigger new spots. But I treated that too, and it’s already cleared up.👍 I stopped applying it to my ears (both inside and out), so now I’m just waiting to see how that goes. I should be done with one side above the ear, but there’s still a tiny dot above the other, so I’ll probably keep applying both patches for a bit longer. I’m going to keep working on my chest too because I’m really not sure if it's finished... the skin is a bit darker there (like a dark, pale red!!!!???) and I have no idea if that's normal. I don't want to mess this up, so I’ll keep treating it, even if it takes another 20 days.😁 Down lower, things are a bit more complicated because while a lot of it has receded, it’s hard to tell if it’s truly gone since the skin has its own natural color there (I mean, most guys have darker skin on their scrotum, right?). I think it’s not quite done yet, so I’ll keep applying the stuff... So yeah, that's the update from me... back to work tomorrow... summer vacation is officially over.....👎

Honestly, guys, I have absolutely no clue what you all are talking about when you mention using some miracle ointment from Michael Ramos3!!!!
What’s the rush, anyway?
Maybe try waiting a bit longer to actually see the results before deciding if anything worked. It's fine to explore every option out there, but don't go jumping the gun—you know, don't count your chickens before they hatch.
The stuff I used provided some temporary relief too—and looking at the discussions here, it seems like plenty of other people have tried those "famous" treatments and "miracle creams," too—but like the song goes: you eventually have to pay the piper.

So, like I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been dealing with psoriasis for about 15 years now. For the longest time, it was just the classic stuff—elbows, knees, shins, and maybe a few random spots here and there. Back then, my scalp wasn't really an issue.
But lately—and this is the part that sucks—it’s spread to my stomach, my back, and even my face. My scalp isn't hit as hard anymore, so instead, it's mostly along my hairline, all over my neck, and basically everywhere else.
The one time things actually cleared up—almost completely, actually—was during my first pregnancy about 9 years ago. I barely used any creams at all, and my skin stayed pretty clear (except for my head). And just to be clear, that pregnancy was high-risk and incredibly stressful from day one until the end.

Try waiting long enough to see the actual results before jumping to conclusions. It’s fine to look at all your options, but don't go running before you can walk.
The same thing worked for me temporarily, and looking at what others are posting on this forum, it seems certain famous treatments and "ointments" have done the same. But like the song goes—you get what you pay for.

How long did that temporary relief last for most of you, and did it ever actually clear up 100%?
Everyone else on the forum needs to share these stats. We need them to compare against the effectiveness of the ointment so we can figure out when users should finally say "enough is enough."
For example, Sophia Campbell73 says hers almost completely cleared up except for her face (while she was pregnant).
Share your experiences. Has anyone used a specific product (besides steroids and other toxins) that actually cleared it up entirely? Once we have those timelines, we can decide together when it's time to call it quits.
We'll ask members to check back in a year, if they need to, to report whether it came back or not.
A year is nothing compared to thirty-five years. I'm not planning on running away, and unfortunately, that year is going to fly by for all of us anyway.

So just stay positive.

And keep the faith.

Michael Ramos3 said:Don't put so much emphasis on physical appearance; there are far more significant reasons for a person to feel genuine shame.

Every major newspaper in the country reported today that two famous models, Naomi Campbell and Kate is a lesbian, are essentially nothing more than high-end escorts and addicts.

Do you really think you have anything to be more ashamed of than they do?

Best regards,

Look, I get what you're saying, but I still can't stand those looks people give me—that "Oh my god, what happened to you?" vibe. It’s exhausting having to either explain myself to everyone or just give them a pointed stare to shut them up. There has to be a better way to handle it. Not too long ago, near my town, there's this local lake where my family and I go swimming every afternoon. Honestly, spending time there helped me chip away at my insecurities and finally move past them. I appreciate the support. Wishing everyone a pleasant break.🎉

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there’s any kind of meetup or support group for young people dealing with psoriasis here in the States... I mean, I know plenty of guys my age who are going through this, and I’m sure there are girls out there facing the exact same thing too! So, does a place like that actually exist somewhere, or...

Joshua Allen54 said:I don't hang around here all that much, so I gotta ask—has anyone actually tried that cream from over in Mexico that Brexy was talking about? I'm seriously on the fence about picking it up. Should I go for it or what?

Mario, Brexy 24—is that you? Or is it Brexy, or maybe Joshua Allen54? Whatever name you're rolling with today!Look, let’s keep this strictly to the public threads. Don't hit me up with private messages—there’s nothing between us to discuss behind closed doors. I’m calling you out right here in front of everyone on this forum so we can clear the air. Honestly, there isn't even any confusion to clear up, unless you count those loaded posts of yours. You keep dropping these heavy hints about that herbalist from Dimitrovgrad like you're trying to run an ad for him. Let's just settle it here in the open!
The posts you’ve put up here are identical to the ones on the Cruise forum—you’re basically just repeating the same pitch and offering help everywhere. Back on May 5, 2007, you made this massive post in all caps, introducing yourself as Mario from Samobor. The moderators jumped on you immediately! They told you that typing in all caps is the digital equivalent of screaming, which breaks their rules. Plus, they flagged you for advertising herbal remedies by dropping specific names and phone numbers. You even went as far as... So, what if the moderator kicked you off this forum just because you claimed they were spreading misinformation? Totally wild!So, apparently nobody believes you when you say that herbalist from small-town Ohio actually cured you!
All those supposed "cures"? Total nonsense. Honestly, no sane person buys into that stuff—certainly not when we're talking about dealing with psoriasis. And look, just don't go offering unsolicited advice. If you aren't constantly hovering over every single psoriasis thread, stop trying to jump in with unasked-for help.
Anything else? That’s just fishing in muddy waters to me. It’s pure exploitation—taking advantage of sick people just to line your own pockets or serve some healer's ego. It’s like leading vulnerable folks to believe some roadside witch doctor can fix them, only to swoop in right on cue and say, "Hey, you gotta see this person!" It's shady. Total scam.
It’s all so obvious, it’s practically transparent. Like, you can see right through it!
Look, let's get one thing straight: practicing medicine without a license? That’s a crime. And trying to sell or distribute fake, unapproved treatments? Also a total crime. It's illegal, plain and simple. Anyone helping out gets labeled an accomplice, and yeah, that same law can come down on them too.

Here's my response to those two private messages you sent me yesterday and today.

Calling on the moderator here! Time to step up and use those tools according to the rules of this forum. But first, take a good look at my facts and make sure I'm right.

Michael Ramos3 said:How long did your worst flare-ups last, and was there ever a time when you were 100% clear?
Everyone needs to chime in—all of you on this forum—so we can compare notes against how these ointments work. We need to figure out the timeline for when people should finally say "BINGO!"
Take Lisa, for example; she says her skin cleared up almost entirely except for her head (she’s pregnant)
. Let us know if you've found any remedies—and I mean real stuff, not steroids or other toxic junk—that actually wiped it out completely. Once we see the wait times, we can all agree together and shout "BINGO!" on her behalf.
We'll even ask everyone to check back in a year from now if they need to, just to see if it stayed away or came back.
What's one year compared to being 35? I have no intention of giving up, and honestly, that year is going to fly by in our lives anyway.

So let's just stay positive

and put our faith in God

Best,

Don't go begging people to check in. They’ll show up on their own without you asking.The whole idea of pregnancy—or what the law calls "expecting"—is usually a blessing for the woman. During that time, psoriasis often goes quiet or even seems to vanish completely. The trouble starts later, once the pregnancy ends, the birth happens, and that postpartum hormonal rollercoaster hits. After that, the psoriasis slowly but surely creeps back.

It's funny how you always do this—you talk about trying 1,000 different things
that cost a fortune, or mention how a year is nothing compared to being 35, or throw in these weird comparisons about some celebrity news or scandals. Man, it makes no sense. The shame someone feels dealing with psoriasis isn't something you can compare to celebrity gossip or social scandals. Just draw a line and stop mixing them up.
And I don't get why you dismiss official medicine by calling everything "chemicals." For all we know, your favorite ointment is full of chemicals too. Nobody knows for sure.

Best!

Look, I wasn't spreading rumors, I was just telling it exactly how it went down. If you don't believe me, feel free to head over to SMB and see for yourself. It seems like everyone else is on the same page, so maybe it's just a few people who are skeptical—and you happen to be one of them. Anyway, I’m done arguing about this; I know I finally got rid of it, so believe whatever you want.

There’s absolutely no room for fighting here, or heaven forbid, nasty language.
Let’s just talk like civilized people,
I dealt with my illness properly, learned exactly what I was dealing with, and now I'm living life totally fine without any hang-ups.
Don't get too cocky thinking you've finally beaten psoriasis for good. It'll catch you off guard when you least expect it. And then what? You're right back at square one. I refuse to kid myself anymore.
If the official word from American doctors is that psoriasis is a chronic, incurable condition that keeps coming back, then "getting rid of it" doesn't mean it won't return.
To everyone out there trying topical creams,I truly wish you a permanent cure,but let's just let time tell. Like they say,time is the ultimate judge.We shouldn't get in the way of people using their creams; eventually, they'll come forward with their own results.

Thanks, Robert Clark2, I think you've got a point there. I'm really hoping things don't end up going backward, because if they do, we're in trouble.

Personally? It would be a huge win if they never show their faces again.

Here’s my little update. The patches on my chest are looking pretty faint, but they’re still stubborn on my back. My hands have cleared up as much as they’re going to, though there’s still some lingering redness. I’ve been using the ointment for 23 days now. I’ll admit, I was hoping for a bit more progress by this point, but until I finish the whole tube, I’m still banking on it clearing up completely.

🙏God.

It's good news. It looks like yours is moving along, just at a slow pace, but movement is what matters most.
Just make sure you stay consistent with the application. Don't quit now that you're near the end; that's the most critical part.
Regardless of how fast things start (like with "copperviper102" versus you), the result ends up being the same. For the viper, it was lightning fast at first and then slowed down, whereas yours is just a steady, slow crawl from the jump.

Hang in there for a little longer.
