Hi Annabelle
This forum can be a bit brutal on any question. Here are some remedies to help correct 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
If you or one or more of your children suffer from eczema you are probably frantic to find something, anything that will 1. bring relief and 2. make the problems go away.
Although eczema and over the counter treatments do not go very well together, many people are treating their eczema or that of their children with products bought over the counter.
Popular products include those that have an anesthetic or analgesic effect, to lessen the pain and/or deaden the itching.
Antiseptic mixtures are used to treat open sores to prevent infection. Creams and unguents are also used to treat dry or crusty skin areas and cover affected areas to permit the skin to heal itself from within.
All of these are valid and useful applications. However, the problem with most of these is that they are treating the symptoms only and can only give symptomatic relief. Granted that some, like for example FreeDerm HC with 1% hydrocortisone, and similar special products specifically aimed at eczema, perhaps go further.
But even the best, at base, amount to only short-term fixes to a long term problem.
Generally speaking, over the counter treatments are fine for externally afflicted injuries or damage to the skin. But with eczema the real problem is coming from within, from imbalances in the body chemistry or autoimmune system.
To really get long term relief and freedom from the eczema affliction you need to go beyond symptomatic relief to longer term approaches that attack the underlying causes.
Medical science has not yet come up with a long-term cure for eczema. Eczema and over the counter treatments do not get you anything beyond temporary relief.
In this situation, one should consider "thinking outside the box" and looking to possible dietary changes, hormonal therapy, holistic healing and other forms of alternative medicine that show promise of actually providing long-term solutions.
