Psoriasis During Winter
Psoriasis aid?
I have had psoriasis since I was eight years old. I am now 21. It goes away completely during the summer but covers most of my body during the winter.
I know it's because of the sun and salt water during the summer that makes it go away but has anyone who has psoriasis used anything that actually works for during the winter?
I feel so confident in the summer when it's gone, but during the winter I just feel like hiding and winter is coming up so any suggestions?
Hi Tarsh
Here are some ideas to use to heal the issue.
Cause
Psoriasis is metabolic in nature and can be triggered by environmental or stressful conditions, poor diet, flu-like conditions, the administration of penicillin, and nutritional deficiencies. Patients with psoriasis are also a higher risk of rheumatoid diseases.
Psoriasis can be caused by food allergies, essential fatty acid deficiencies, low digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid levels, vitamin B complex deficiencies, emotional stress, illness, drugs (such as beta-blockers, lithium, and chloroquine), poison ivy or oak, skin damage, and several infections, bacterial or viral in origin.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: The following essential oils are recommended: bergamot (to help heal skin plaques), lavender (to reduce excessive itching), melissa (for irritated skin), jasmine (for dry sensitive skin), geranium (for dry irritating skin), and sandalwood mysore (for dehydrated, inflamed, and sensitive skin).
Diet: Screen for and eliminate all foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat a varied diet of organic, whole foods, rotating foods as much as possible. Eliminate wheat and wheat products for 1-3 months. Consume seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, and each day, on a rotating basis, take one tablespoon of olive or flaxseed oil, and be sure to drink plenty of pure, filtered water. Organic beef, venison, poultry, garlic, onions, parsley, organic plain yogurt, and sauerkraut are also recommended.
Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically can soothe symptoms.
Herbs: Combine equal parts of burdock, sarsaparilla, and cleavers tinctures and take one teaspoon three times a day. Silymarin (milk thistle) is also helpful for psoriasis due to its positive effects on liver function.
Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Psorinum, Sulfur, Graphites, Cuprum met., and Arsen alb.
Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: apple and carrot; beet, cucumber, and grape; and beet, carrot, burdock, yellowdock and garlic.
Lifestyle: Mild cases of psoriasis may be helped by daily exposure to sunlight. Frequent exercise is also recommended.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful: evening primrose oil, omega-3 essential fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin B Complex, vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, folic acid, lecithin, zinc, and a multimineral supplement. Taking hydrochloric acid (HCL) with each meal can also be of use.
In Europe fumaric acid treatment in the form of fumaric acid tablets, ointment, lotion, and scalp lotions is widely used to reverse symptoms of psoriasis
Topical Treatment: Apply seawater to the affected skin several times daily. Linseed or avocado oil, aloe vera gel, and/or capsaicin cream applied topically can reduce the scaling, thickness, redness, and itching.
Best of health to you
Scalp Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is often so mild it is barely noticed by the affected person, but it can occasionally so severe the patient must be admitted to hospital for treatment. Psoriasis is probably one of the longest known illnesses of humans and simultaneously one of the most misunderstood. A complete medical history and examination of the skin, nails, and scalp are the basis for a diagnosis of psoriasis.
Scalp psoriasis is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, one that can get so severe that it can result in hair loss, so obviously, regardless of whether you are a man or woman, you are going to need to get treatment immediately.
Another cause for dandruff and dry scalp is cold weather. The scalp surface becomes dry in cold weather. It then easily flakes off and sheds its dead skin cells that in turn, result in dandruff. Allergic reaction to some food and nutritional deficiency in the diet can be major reasons for dandruff. Deficiency of omega 3 acids and B-complex vitamins can cause the dead skin cells of the scalp to flake off excessively.
Getting back to the beginning, scalp psoriasis and dandruff can cause similar symptoms. Scalp psoriasis can be ignited by anything from wounds, a cut, scratching and even sunburn. An average flare up will happen usually in winter: most of the infected area becomes flakish and dry because of a decline in sunlight. With scalp psoriasis, the infected patch areas are usually seen on the back of the head but can be seen on other areas of the scalp.
Itchy scalp problems of the earlobes are due to the accumulation of moisture and inadequate exposure to sunlight, which makes them prone to bacterial growth. Vigorous brushing and combing of the hair over-stimulates the parting and hairline scalp areas leading to swelling of the hair roots.
Itchy scalp hair loss is nothing to blow off as it can be the sign of a serious infection. Don’t assume that such problems will go away on their own. If you take that approach you may be distressed at the amount of hair you end up losing before all is said and done. There are many different things out there that can cause it to take place besides an infection.
If you experience a scalp psoriasis symptom and find out that you do in fact have scalp psoriasis, or any other type of psoriasis for that matter, you should consider using natural remedies for scalp psoriasis, at least at first to see if the natural remedies for scalp psoriasis are enough.
Scalp psoriasis is a chronic condition where the generation of new skin is accelerated to a degree that it creates raised-red blotches on the skin. This raised skin, or epidermal lesion, is covered with dry silvery scales that itch, burn, crack, and sometimes bleed or become infected. If the scalp psoriasis is severe enough it can be disfiguring and debilitating.
An alternative treatment for psoriasis is detoxification. This treatment may just be the solution that you need to keep your skin disorder under control. According to naturopathic doctors, treating psoriasis helps by treating your liver. Psoriasis has been linked to the presence of several microbial byproducts in the blood. These signs point to an abnormal function of the liver.
