Suggest Remedy For Painful Psoriasis

Hello, a dermatologist has told me I have follicular psoriasis. I have Daviobet cream to use + told I m too large for the light therapy box for UV treatment. My psoriasis is getting worse. What advise can you give me to help solve this painful skin process? What switches my immune system to act like this and can I alter my diet to reverse this biological process???? Sorry lots to cover! Thanks Ele

Hi,

I can understand your concern for treatment of psoriasis. I think you might respond to acitretin 25 daily for few months along with methotrexate 15 mg per week. Kindly consult the dermatologist and have thorough investigations.
Then under observation mentioned medicines may be taken.

Apply combined oint of salicylic acid and steroid on the lesions. Avoid stress and have positive attitude. Take care of any other systemic diseases if you have.

I hope this might help you.

Thanks.
