Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi, I've been observing this site for about a year. I'm an observer since " lurker " seems illegal. I have had inverse pshoriasis here and there for a number of years. I have found a very effective teatment. Use and astringent like " Sea Breeze " (in any drug store) on a cotton ball an swab the area frequently. It will hurt like hell the first time but if you can stand the inital pain it gets less painful with each application. You will noice a difference right away and in a few days be much better. This will get the site to heal but is not a permanent solution . Mine (in the groin) is worst in summer. Also I have P. in the ear canal as I've read others do too. I dip a Q Tip in the Astringent and swab the outer ear area. It controls the P. well. If I didn't use it on my ears they would soon fill with flakes. I have also had success using this on patches of P. under my eyebrows. I have P.A. in the toes and lightly in the hands and am taking MTX with moderate success. Good luck to you all.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Please make sure first that it is not a fungal or candida infection because my doctor said that corn starch is the worst thing you can use. Peggy B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I had forgotten about Seabreeze! Years ago I was living on the island of Okinawa and the hair dressers would put straight perm solution on my p which I didn't know was p.....just thought it was gummy dandruff. It hurt like the devil but cleared it up. When I got back to the states someone suggested seabreeze and it worked. Thanks for reminding me.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I didn't know it was Psoriasis - but I have had it under the 'apron' we portly souls get. It did not respond to the yeast creams the gyn. prescrtibed. But washing it, drying it and powdering it with corn starch (baking aisle in the grocery store) frequently has done wonders. Sometimes the simple things are the best - one medication I tried worsened it and . . . Well, lets just say it worsened it.

Corn starch is something I've used too, and it really does help. Also, the thing about keeping the area dry is really true. (And in fact, I think the corn starch helps partly because it aids in maintaining dryness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
