Psoriasis

Yep. I've had it on my scalp since I was a newborn. I've found when it's really flaring up, like during a cold snap, the most helpful, soothing thing is lotion with zinc and lanolin. The easiest to find is (believe it or not!) diaper rash cream. Some people find apple cider vinegar helpful.

I would explore a heavy metal detoxification, candida remedies (like turpentine and essential oils) and the use of probiotics to start.

Hi lismore - from your opening post, I am assuming that you're suffering from Psoriasis. Unfortunately, this disease can take many shapes and forms and range from small plaques on the skin all the way to mutilating systemic manifestations (psoriatic arthritis) or even the life-threatening Psoriasis pustulosa Zumbusch.

Medical treatments accordingly range from anything such as avoiding trigger substances and topical treatments to immunosuppressive medication or interventional PUVA-therapy (combining Psoralen with UVA-light). It's always a great decision to see your doctor, especially if you're on other drugs that may cause or sustain the disease, such as beta-Blockers or Lithium salts.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
Blessings, and get well soon!

Cold, dry weather can bring on a flare up.

Another remedy is to take at least 5,000 I.U.'s of Vitamin D3 daily, and mix the same with organic extra virgin olive oil and rub it on your body. This reduces the inflammation and helps with any fungal invasion. Adding essential oils to the mix wouldn't hurt either.

I have this from aspirin , and I also had the skin issues associate with celiacs .

Yes- sometimes on the arms and leg, the scalp is particularly stubborn and resistant to treatment.

But it's a comfort to meet others here who are afflicted in the same way. It's an illness that a lot of people aren't aware of.

I have found that stress makes it worse, stress and a bad diet.

God Bless

Well it is caused by oxidative damage to the skin by free radicals. So that's why diet can make it better or worse. Fried foods and oils contribute to free radicals in the body. Antioxidants neutralizes free radicals. So a diet high in antioxidants and low or free of oils and frieds foods will go a long way in optimizing the health of your skin.
