wearycrane11 said:Hey everyone, I have a quick question for you all. So, I’ve been dealing with some issues regarding my nails lately. It isn't that typical "tiny little pits" thing people talk about; instead, what I'm seeing is this dark spot appearing in the nail bed underneath. The thing is, it just keeps spreading and spreading until it hits a certain point and then finally stops. The skin in that specific area looks darker, and eventually, it starts to feel hard or calcified. Honestly, it's pretty unsightly! Does anyone know if there’s a specific vitamin or perhaps a cream that can help regulate this? Any advice would be much appreciated!🤷But really, does that even factor into the psoriasis struggle at all?
Hey everyone! I wanted to jump in and share something that’s helped me out. I’ve dealt with nail psoriasis on both my hands and feet a few times now, and honestly, it’s such a headache. It is incredibly difficult—if not totally impossible—to actually get any topical creams under the nail bed where the trouble is happening. Because of that, I found that treating it "from the inside out" was the only way to go. In my experience, every single time it flared up, I managed to clear it up by being really aggressive with my supplements for about a month. I was taking three capsules of Omega-3 daily along with one or two evening primrose oil capsules a day. Now, don't get me wrong—these are great supplements to have in your routine regardless, but for my specific situation, I found I needed those higher doses to see a real difference. Just something to consider if you're struggling with the same thing!
I was recently out in Bihać and picked up some Psorex ointment. Since I’ve bought this stuff a few times before—and honestly, it worked wonders on my scalp, keeping me completely clear for months after just two weeks of use—I had high hopes. This time around, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the new packaging and the updated ingredient list!👍!
So, Ms. Kajtezović really stepped up to the plate here. She took things quite seriously, conducting thorough research at the medical faculty institute in Sarajevo, securing the intellectual property, and getting the product officially registered. It reminds me of how Pero Antičević, that herbalist from Knin, handled things back in the day—he set up his own business and made sure his psoriasis ointment was fully protected and registered too.
I’m sharing this because, frankly, I’ve been burned before. I’ve fallen for those various "natural remedy" gurus more than a few times, shelling out quite a bit of money for products that didn't do a thing—or worse, actually made my condition flare up.😠I see that Michael Ramos3 is back at it.😕 He’s back at it again, popping up to point new forum members toward those specific pages where he used to run his ads. Honestly, it’s a bit much. I’ve watched this play out, and the result for every single person on this board hasn't been a "cure"—it’s just been pure disappointment.👎So, I’m going to ask that individual to please act like those other serious forum members and actually register the product properly. It would be much better than just using this space for self-promotion without any actual substance behind it. 🤷It’s honestly a bit frustrating to see people citing various institutes without providing a shred of actual evidence, or constantly preaching about these miraculous "cures" when there isn't a single piece of medical documentation to back them up. To make matters even more ridiculous, his username doesn't even reflect reality—the guy has never actually dealt with psoriasis in his life, let alone found some magical way to cure it.😂!
So, I was looking over the ingredient list for Psorex (based on what’s written on the label), and I wanted to get some thoughts from the group. Here is what we're looking at: yellow petrolatum, lanolin, salicylic acid, Peruvian balsam, beeswax, St. John's Wort oil, and olive oil. I'd love to hear your take on this formula! What do you all think about this specific combination?
Here’s the breakdown for the Antičevićev mast formula: it consists of 86% suet, 7% white beeswax, 3% English ivy, 2% common oat, and 2% black pine! As for those Latin terms you asked about, here is what they actually mean in plain English, along with a little thought on the mix: * **Adeps suillus (Suet):** This is essentially rendered animal fat. At 86%, it serves as the heavy-duty base of the ointment, providing that rich, occlusive barrier to lock in moisture. * **Cera alba (White Beeswax):** A classic stabilizer. It helps give the balm its structure and consistency so it doesn't just melt away immediately. * **Hedera helix (English Ivy):** Usually included for its soothing properties; it's often used to help calm irritated skin. * **Avena sativa (Common Oat):** A total superstar for skin relief. Oats are wonderful for soothing itchiness and calming down redness. * **Pinus nigra (Black Pine):** Often added for its antiseptic qualities and that distinct, refreshing scent. If you ask me, it looks like a very traditional, "old-school" approach—very much focused on creating a thick, protective layer to let the skin heal underneath. It’s quite a substantial formula!
I’d like to ask the moderator not to view this as an advertisement. These products are fully registered and available to anyone who needs them, and I personally have absolutely no financial incentive to promote them here. I only brought them up as prime examples of how herbalists can legalize their sales—you know, a legitimate way to operate, unlike those shady characters out there looking to make a quick buck under the table!
