To alll people with psoriasis, especially the guttate kind: NOW HEAR THIS. get your tonsils out!!!! Most people who start having psoriasis have the guttate kind first--so if you don't have your tonsils and adenoids, you won't get strep anymore (or at least rarely) and therefore you may well end up having no more psoriasis either of any kind. I guarantee you it will help enormously, if you don't have insurance to pay for it sighn up for Medicaid/Medicare or see if there is a Community Action clinic in your town--they charge on a sliding scale according to income but anybody can go there. Do NOT let money keep you from getting treatment for this disease, certain forms of it can be life threatening. As to shampoos, they still make Tegrin shampoo, it should be in the shampoo aisle next to all the other dandruff type shampoos; certain of the drugstore chains and also Wal-Mart may have a house brand of it which will be cheaper. Also, there is an OTC lotion called Baker's P & S which is specifically for psoriasis and seborrhea, you put it on all over your scalp at night, put on a shower cap or other head covering to protect your pillowcase, then shampoo it out in the morning. This will remove the scaling. There is a solution this problem, don't do yourselves in people--no problems we have is worth that. Keep the faith longhornusa

i just turned 15 and i've had psoriasis since i was 6/7. i have it on my: knees,below knees,elbows,lower arm, behind the ears and ankles. i can never wear shorts any more, and at first i did because i didn't care what people thought about it, but it got too annoying with everyone questioning you about it. "whats that? what happened? did you fall down? when did that happen? are you sick? is it contagious? is that mold growing on you? and my favorite...: are u turning into a fish?" and it wasn't even little kids who would ask these questions. atfirst i just told them its a skin disorder or whatever, but then it got really annoying having to deal with everyone, so now i just wear pants. and i just wish they could have sometype of cream that will actually work and is inexpensive....cause i've tried A LOT of creams.

Hi I have had psoriasis for many years and I understand the pain. I also have it in my nails and have had 3 steriod shots in every nail. It helped for about 2 months then nothing. I was taking the Embrel shots 2x's a week for 14 months. It hellped it some but I had to stop cause it can harm your liver. Tanning helps, but it is costly. So here I sit upset that I am out of things to do. I was looking into home things you can do, anyone have an idea? Kathkenn44@yahoo.com

Hi! guys, I had severe psoriasis myself for at least 20 years and I tried all the topical solution, ointments and UV treatment. For me these cure helps my condition on and off. I got so frustrated and asked my family doctor if there's any injection solution he can give me to get rid of it. His now giving me every other two weeks an injection called Kenalog 40mg, 1ml in a small bottle ( Triamcinolone Suspension USP ) and this is not expensive. After 6 months, I'm amazed that this drug help me to clear my psoriasis, on my scalp, joints, legs, nails, back and some other parts of my body where I had them. For me this treatment works and hope to most of you too. I know how this condition put down your self- esteem and too embarrassing to be in public, I even cried just to looking at it and pity myself. Make sure to ask your doctor and discuss with him about this medication if this medication is good for you and if your body system can tolerate it. Talk to your doctor regarding the side effects of the drug and make sure you get educated and always ask your options. I hope this injection helps most of you and the best all of you and your skins gets better like mine. Let me know in 3 to 6 months or less if this start clearing your skin. Drop me a line, my e-mail is medina1963@rogers.com and hoping you write to me the good news. Good luck and God Bless us all.

The newest and best (sucessful) treatment is being given at Mt. Sinai in New York City. At present it is being given in the form of a clinical trial. Don't get discouraged, although it is extrmely hard to get into the study, nothing is impossible. You originally get a three month trial with the injections given twice a week. Two groups get the real medicine, while one group gets a placebo. After three months, all three groups get the medicine for free, for the next three years. This turns out to be close to $1, 000,000 worth of medicine for the three years. It removes close to eighty/ninety percent of the disease and it stays off for close to a year. Call the Dermatology Dept., clinical trials, at Mt. Sinai, and ask for Dr. Emma, the man in charge. Tell him you heard (from Roxanne Hull) how wonderful and great of a Doctor he is and you might get an in. Or at least on the waiting list. Good Luck.

My 3 year old was diagnosed with psoriasis last october and it's been a nightmare ever since. the doctor's prescibed elidel and a steriod oinment but I'm afraid of them because they have cancer warnings on them. He's just 4 now and i have tried so many different lotions, vasaline and now I'm trying some concoction that a friend gave me. His hands are the worst part. They look like they belong on a 90 year old man. He is constantly scratching and asking me to scatch him all over. I feel so bad for him. I'd try anything to give him some relief. 2 weeks ago it started on his scalp. I'm struggling with making him comfortable in his own skin. i'm glad to know I'm not alone.

I have had a bout with psoriasis since I was 3 years old. I used to use Tegrin for mine but I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know what happened to that ointment as well as the shampoo?

I have severe scalp psoriasis for the last 20 years, this is awful for me as i constantly itch. I also have it on my body(somewhat) but am afraid that it will get worse. I have tried everything even Enbrel which helped for about 18 months along with prednisone and methotrexate, every topical cream imaginable. I don't know where to turn. found this site doing some research. has anyone out there used cyclosporine? or soritane? these are two drugs I haven't tried. how about any side effects with these?? will be happy to hear from someone in the know. Could these drugs have worse side effects than everthing else I've been on??

Hi, I am 23 yrs old and have had psoriasis for almost 11 yrs now! It used to be only on my legs but since I have kids it has gotten alot worse after each of them! Now I have it everywhere. I am duing the light therapy, this is my second time using it and it doesnt seem to be working as fast as it did last time! ? Chelsey~ I dont know how old you have to be to do light therapy? But it does work!!! Talk with your mom and dermatologist about it! And does anyone know or know someone who has done the shot Embril? And if so does it work?

Hi, my name is Chelsey. I am 13 yrs old and I am a victim of psoriasis. I was born with this dreadful disease. I itch all the time and it bleeds alot. I just want it to go away. Psoriasis is everywhere on me and is embarrasing. It's ALL OVER my legs,arms,belly,back,ears,but out of all this the worst place is in my hair and face. If I could have one wish it would be to get this stuff off me. I cry when people make fun of me, they call me scabby all the time. I am just a middle school girl trying to live her life and be happy. I didn't ask for this I was born with it. I use cream and shampoo for it now but it gets all over my bed and clothes. It also stinks very bad. You have no idea how bad I just want to be a normal pretty kid. The other girls in school walk around with nothing wrong with them and the guys look at them so sexy. Well now i want it to be my turn to be sexy. I can't even wear a bikini and be tan like them. Now I am stuck, so please if anyone reads this and knows of a treatment please comment very soon! Preferrably injections or pills that aren't cancerous but if not then that's ok I just want it to be gone.! PLEASE READ AND HELP ME!!!!!!

I am 21 yrs old and have had psoriasis for 9yrs. I've tried everything and now I have no insurance. I had hair down to my lower back long and wavy but my psoriasis got so bad and out of cotrol that my hair thinned out really bad so shaved my head and ripped out all the scales. now its back 2ce as bad and hurts worse then ever. I find myself picking it all the time only making everything worse and its gotten so bad I have to wear a hat everywhere I even wear it to bed so my boyfriend doesn't see it. Please help me I'm so tired of it and I get really depressed about it and have a very low self esteem to begin with

If your looking for something that can help your Plaque Psoriasis, but you dont have much money to spend on products, Vasline Petroleum Jelly helps a lot with time. If you have Psoriasis on your hand and nails, like i do, it's good to always keep your nails cut and clean. I literally have tried 100's of products over the last 2 years, and the method that has worked the best for me, and i would recomend it to anyone with any kind of Psoriasis would be Mind Power. I know its hard living with psoriais, but try and keep yourself away from stress, smoke, unhealthy eating habits and STEROID OINMENTS. Good Luck to all of us and lets hang in there lol.

I have had psoriasis on and off since my teenage years. Most of the time on my scalp in springs and falls but last couple of years it spread to my back and breast area. Last year when i moved from Europe to Asia things got out of control, patches over my scalp and body grew in sizes and started to itch and bleed. Later psoriasis even spread even to my legs and arms. I have tried different creams, shampoos and diets, and even meditation to calm myself down. Nothing seemed to help. I came across Champori herbal remedies for psoriasis in one of comments to the article about psoriasis in the newspaper website. I searched for it, and found only positive responses. I must admit, I was still very skeptical even when I was ordering that. My husband and I decided to go for the biggest spray and cream combo. We expected to get one of those ''big'' cream jars with double bottom that has very little of the cream itself (as with most internet-marketed creams) But Champori proved all my expectations wrong: no double bottoms, just opposite, the cream jar and the spray bottle had very thin walls and the cream was enough for whole 4 months even after applying all over my scalp and body. After I started using the cream, I noticed the difference in just three days. After a week the redness and itchiness were gone. In just two month the big patch just below my breast that was growing and spreading disappeared with no trace. Amazing stuff!! AA

I have also been suffering for close to 8 years with this seemingly pointless disease and have tried everything time allows...I am active in music, have a daughter, work full time so thing like tanning a few times a week dont really work well for me!...Anyway, i had been approved for the injection stuff but Im pretty sure I dont want to mess with my insides with man made chemicals....so onto the new venture, I will be trying psirasis-tabs and will post back in about 90 days to let everyone know how it went. Wish me luck......you never know when God smiracles have been presented !

I am turning 15 this july and i was diagnosed with psoriasis when i was five or six years old. I had it on my face last year and taht went away but i have it on my palms, one really bad on my elbow and i have it severely on my scalp and at the nape of my neck.. i have had people tell me that reducing your intake of pork (bacon, pork chops etc,) helps but i havent tried it yet so we'll see.

I suddenly developed scalp psoriasis after eating a couple of chocolate bars every evening for a couple of weeks. I understand that some people's system cannot digest excess amounts of sugar and/or daily consumption of carbohydrates i.e. bread. Until I get my system back under control, I am using aloe vera daily and it seems to be controlling the scaling and the itching. Hope this helps someone.

Okay I've spent thousands of dollars without lasting results. Everytime I wash my hair with expensive hair products, I find dried up scabs on my head. I did go to the "Hair Club" for a year and found the products helpful but did not continue with them because they were so expensive!!!! I am a white person (Italian) but sometimes I find the hair products made for people of color helpful. These products for hair re-growth help keep my head from being so dry. Has anyone tried that TV product,"Scalp-Med"--Maybe I don't have the name right. I think I will try them next.

my son is 17 and has guttate psoriasis. It would start to clear up with creams, but then return. I had him tested for strep. We did a blood test. Normal ASO levels in the blood should be between 0-100. Anything more indicates strep in the body. My son's level was 943. He is taking antibotics now in addition to topical tretatments. His back has cleared up,and we are hoping the rest of his body does as well. There is a good chance that it will go into remission if we can clear his body of strep.feel free to email me for more info/support HasmigK@aol.com

Ms Mattie again, I have dark spots all over my body, I would like to maintain the lighter spot as my skin natural complexion, what can I get to either lighten up the dark spots...? so that my skin will be less noticable and I will be more noticable..? Give some clues as to how I can stop scaling like a fish... I am so ashamed of my skin it is quite embarrassing...! Help.....? Send this to Oprah

I have severe psoriasis and a friend gave me a tube of creme called "Miracle Rash Repair plus" to stop the itching and of all the things I've tried, this one actually works. It is distributed by a company called Ontel Products Corp. in Fairfield, NJ. My friend got it at a store for products advertised on TV. Also I've found that Eucerine Calming Creme Daily Moisturizer helps with the dryness. I hope this helps you as they have helped me.

To everyone who has psorasis. If you go to your local health food store or any nutritional store at that there is a cream that some stores carry called Gardener's Dream Cream. It has helped me through A most extreme extensive experience of psorasis which was utterly painful and confidence wrecking at a young age of 20 years old. This cream will help heal the itchy, dryness, and slowly help to get rid of it. This along with tanning was what healed me and nothing else! Just a suggestion. Alot of people recomend it!

Do you have a chemical peel for psoarisis , a treatment you can do at home. I have a disorder because of poison ivy, and it has left my skin scalley and dark. What can I get to pewel off this dead skin ? rtft123@yah00.com This is my email, and my name is Frances Alford.
