Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You can continue breastfeeding your baby even if you have a relapse. For mild psoriasis I think which you are having now, you can use non-medicated topical treatments such as moisturizing lotions, creams, and ointments. You can continue 777 oil if it is working for you.

Other remedies include :
- Adding oil, Epsom salt or dead sea salt to your bath water and soaking for 15 mins. Immediately use moisturizer once out of the bath. The water has to be lukewarm.

- Apple cider vinegar with water, turmeric, and capsaicin can be applied topically.

- A heavy ointment or thick cream may help to control symptoms and keep skin feeling comfortable.

- Fish oil or Omega 3 supplements help reduce the symptoms.

I hope this answered your query.
