Psoriasis Oral Treatment
Any suggestions for psoriasis?
I currently use Clobetesol Proprionate (I think that's how you spell it) for my scalp and I have some cream to use in my ears and belly button. I use a tanning bed too to relieve spots on my body. However- I use a LOT of the Clobetesol and I haven't found a shampoo that worked well for me- any suggestions for my scalp? I also have psorasis of the nails on a couple toe nails and one fingernail- any suggestions for that? I'll I got from the dermatologist was that there were expensive shots I could get at the base of the nail which doesn't sound like something I want to do. I also would prefer not to have shots or anything oral. I prefer topical treatments.
Hi, you can try one of the natural treatments available on the Internet (just google "natural treatment of psoriasis") and take your pick. Some of them do actually work. For my scalp psor. I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and they then stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori is available online without prescription and comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn't work for you - it's free.
Cheers,

Psoriasis and Its Treatment With Garra Rufa Fish
Psoriasis is a skin disorder that can affect both males or females. It is an inflammatory of the skin with symptoms that include widespread redness, severe itching, and pain. Red rashes appear on the surface of the skin and begin to itch. They form plaques over the reddened lesions covered by silvery white scales which are actually dead skin cells. These flaky skin build up mainly on the knees, elbows, scalp and trunk or any other body parts. This type of discomfort and pain can affect the patient's quality of daily life. It can also affect the lives of the family members who have to live with their sufferings in the same house. More serious stage of the skin inflammation can lead to inflammation of the joints, which we commonly call "arthritis".
There is unfortunately no known cure for Psoriasis currently. Skin specialists or dermatologists can only recommend or provide short term treatments which would be different from one patient to another. That means the treatment can only clear Psoriasis for only a certain period of time. There are various conservative forms of treatments that may leave you wondering which one is true.
We can generally find 3 categories of conventional treatments for psoriasis i.e.:
- Topical treatment is applied to the skin for mild to moderate Psoriasis
- Photo treatment is light, usually ultraviolet, applied to the skin) for moderate to severe Psoriasis
- Systemic treatment is to be taken orally or by injection or infusion) for moderate, severe or disabling Psoriasis.
The new products like Theraflax and z-92 may help but as of now, patients have not obtained its full effect.
Recently, a new alternative method of psoriasis treatment is with the use of live fish called "Doctorfish" (or Garra rufa). This practice of using fish to treat itchy skin was first used in the small towns of Kangal and Sivas in Turkey where they are largely found in the area. The spa at Kangal has been a popular psoriasis treatment centre since 1988.People with this skin disorder have been flocking here to have their infected skin nibbled at by the doctor fish. These doctor fish live and breed in outdoor pools of some Turkish spas but now they are pretty popular in the Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan and most recently, Singapore. These fishes live in warm waters of high temperatures of around 36C. The water condition does not produce enough nutrients for the fish with voracious appetite so they feed well on dead scabby skin of psoriasis sufferers. These fishes will not nibble their healthy skin which will be left to grow. The saliva in the mouths of the doctor fish is the vital element in the treatment . In addition, the selenium- rich waters of the spa are also helpful in the treatment of psoriasis too.
However this type of treatment can provide temporary relief only but is not a cure for the skin disorder. It is reported by psoriasis patients that it does help and thus doctor fish spas have sprouted in many countries like Japan, Germany or Singapore.
