Question about topicals

[Guest guest]

In my experience the topical has to be used continually. Sometimes the flare

up will die down but comes back if I don't use the cream. I recently heard

of Dovenex? Is it a vitamin D cream? Recently, Dr. Oz said on his show that

vitamin D seemed to be working topically to stop the over production of skin

cells that is psoriasis.

I have also had luck with Tea Tree Oil dabbed on the scalp places. I have

treated scalp outbreaks like this for a few years now.

I read somewhere awhile ago that soaking a cloth in cold coffee and applying it

to the affected areas causes the blood vessels to constrict to take away the

redness and because of the reduced blood supply to the skin the scales start to

go away.  Somehow the thought of myself sitting around somewhere with dripping

coffee slapped on all over me wasn't too appealing...

Then I remembered that I had bought one of those caffeine eye roll ons (mine is

the Garnier Nutritionist, but I think other lines carry them as well), and I

decided this last week to roll that on the patches instead.  It took about three

days but it seems to be working. The " treatment plan " I came up with is to wash

the affected areas really well in my morning shower - scrubbing gently if it

could take it - then use a really good moisturizer (for me it's cocoa butter,

the Vaseline Intensive Care one) as well as the prescription I use, which I had

already been doing anyway. During the day, I use the same lotion on my hands

after washing them and I take a little more and rub it into the scales on my

arms. At bedtime I use the caffeine roll on,quite liberally, which dries in

a minute or so.  Will it last?  Don't know, but I'm feeling quite encouraged

because you can barely seen any redness at all now and the scales are definitely

less than

before. 

It would be interesting to see if this works on anyone other than me!

I have psoriasis in my inner ears and on my scalp and the only product that I

have had success with is DermaZinc Plus. The company is very good and the

product is almost to good to be true. For people with psoriasis on their scalp

it's terrific. The bottle comes with a spray nozzle and a simple applicator tip

and is a clear solution. They also have shampoo, creams, clear solution (my

favorite). It will change your life after using it as directed. I've even had

months when I had no symptoms. Web-site is www.sanavita.com .
