== Eczema Natural Treatment == You can do something to improve your condition. Your doctor or dermatologist would more likely give suggestions and recommendations that are stated here. They are some of the best practices you can incorporate to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html Eczema]. Eczema Natural Treatment Methods: Doctors Getting Agreeable to Alternative Treatments Some experts are amenable to some of the Eczema natural treatment methods that have been developed so far. Consider natural treatments and take them up with your own physician. Natural Treatment for Eczema for Adults: Healthful Practices Consider also the following practices. Many before you have found relief by keeping these healthy practices. * Soap and Detergents - Unfortunately, your soap or detergent may be worsening the condition every time you use it. Even those washing products which have the word "mild" in the label may also be guilty of causing you more discomfort. It's time for you to know irritant chemicals, hunting for them in the labels and discarding the products that contain these chemicals. * Toiletries and Perfumes - Toiletries and perfumes usually have ingredients that are no good for you. Look into those products that have alcohol, preservatives and skin-drying chemicals. Discontinue the use of products that are suspect and ask about alternatives from your skin doctor. * Clothing - It's also time to be choosy about clothing. You may have to forego using your clothing in favor of clothing made of cotton and those that have soothing materials. Especially during hot seasons, you must do away with clothing made of wool which is the most irritating or the worst material for eczema victims like you. * Temperature - [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html Eczema] is highly sensitive to extreme temperatures. You may have to plan your day so you'll avoid places and times when temperature is either too hot or too cold. High temperatures with their ability to cause excessive sweating can in turn cause terrible discomfort. On the other, too low temperatures can cause the skin to shrink, which may strain or put pressure on the affected area. * Stress - Avoid stress because stress can make you feel irritable. It has been observed with previous patients that people scratch itchy skin parts as a reaction to stress. This may not be true to you, but you will do well keeping your fingernails short or get used to rubbing itchy areas with your fingers. * Food Allergy - Look into your foods and keep away from food items that you suspect to be causing you allergic reactions. It is not difficult to identify these allergens because something wrong is happening with your body immediately after each time you consume them. Natural Treatment for Eczema in Babies Eczema natural treatment types for babies might be a little different from those for adults, owing to the fact that their skin is more sensitive and their bodily systems are easily susceptible to substances being applied on their skin. For best practices, it is important that the baby's surrounding is kept clean. The natural treatment products should also be milder than those used for adults. In any case, do not proceed with anything without conferring with your baby pediatrician. Are you looking for more information regarding Eczema natural treatment?

I dare to suggest that because it made my skin clear. Whenever I feel that my skin is starting to itch, I go to get the UVB therapy and the itching stops right away. That is how I keep my psoriasis in remission. Whatever treatment is used You should always be using skin moisturisers. Natural creams are a good alternative when it comes to psoriasis treatment. Psoriasis is so unpredictable condition, that it is an elusive target for even the strongest modern medications. This disease has led many people to develop their personal natural remedies to fight it rather than experiment with any other potentially harmful drugs. I have good experiences with emu oil, aloe vera and Dead Sea products. Research has shown that emu oil has the ability to penetrate deep into the inner layers of skin. It doesn't contain any harmful hormones or antibiotics and provides the necessary fats that are required for normal skin cells function.

There are about 125 million psoriasis sufferers world wide. This makes up 3% of the world's total population! It is estimated that six to seven million Americans have psoriasis, and each year 150,000 to 260,000 new cases are diagnosed. The incidence of [http://www.herosepharma.com psoriasis] is much lower in dark-skinned West Africans and African-Americans than in light-skinned persons of European origin. Incidence is also low in the Eskimos and the Japanese, and is extremely rare in Native Americans. Genetic, geographic and environmental factors may play a major role in this striking disparity between the races. Most psoriasis patients undergo intense emotional turmoil while they fight to control their disease which tends to have periods of flare ups and remissions the year around. Though no cure has yet been discovered, observing certain principles in life style and skin care management will provide patients a scope for optimum control of the disease.

But when you live with a disfiguring skin disease like [http://www.herosepharma.com Psoriasis], you have another layer of anxiety to add to the everyday stresses of finding a partner. For many people living with the condition, insecurities about their appearance and fear of rejection get in the way of romance. But having psoriasis doesn't have to prevent you from finding your happily ever after?and in some ways, it might even help. How to break the news Unlike sexually transmitted diseases, psoriasis is not contagious. But as with STDs, most people want to explain psoriasis to people they're dating so that they're prepared when they see it and understand they can't catch it. That's tricky, because you may fear that telling the truth is a one-way ticket to rejection. The common question people ask is, will my condition be the deal-breaker? If it is, it's a sign that the relationship wasn't meant to be. In that way, the disease serves almost as a litmus test for future mates by separating the good from the bad right out of the gate. If clothing covers your lesions, you have a little more time to broach the topic. Here's how to do it when you're ready.

Itching of the skin can be caused by irritants, infections, allergies and stress. Avoiding allergens such as animal dander, dust mites and cockroaches can improve atopic dermatitis. Eliminating foods to which a person is allergic will also result in the improvement of the eczema. The rash of atopic dermatitis called eczema appears as a red rash with flaking skin or as small blisters/bumps. The location of eczema is dependent on the area of the body that is scratched. In infants and very young children this rash involves the face especially the cheeks, chest and trunk, back of the scalp and may involve the arms and legs. In older children and adults, it involves the skin in front of the elbows and behind the knees. It may involve the eyelids and the palms of the hands and soles of the feet in certain people. Causes Irritants that cause itching through direct stimulation of the skin include: harsh soaps chemicals wool fabrics heat and sweating Skin infections which can cause itching include: Staphylococcus Aureus infections which can worsen the itching and eczema. Herpes virus infections can cause severe skin infections in people with atopic dermatitis. Allergies can be a significant trigger for itching and include: Animal dander and dust mites, Pollens and mold spores in the air Food allergies include egg and milk allergy particularly in children.

It was found that inadequate Ctip2, a protein that has genetic functions, may trigger the disease through several mechanisms. These findings may provide new therapeutic targets for treating dermatitis. It seems that Ctip2 is a protein that controls the synthesis of lipids in the skin and it can suppress TSLP, a cytokine produced by cells in the skin that can cause inflammation and thus dermatitis. It must be said that lipids form an important component of the skin structure and is essential in maintaining its integrity and hydration. The fact that inadequate functioning of Ctip2 can trigger dermatitis was demonstrated in experiments on animals. TSLP is not normally identified in the skin, but the rats that had no Ctip2 in their skins (the Ctip2 production was genetically suppressed) had high levels of inflammatory TSLP. Arup Indra, associate professor in the OSU year College of Pharmacy, mentioned that inadequate Ctip2 leads to decreased lipid synthesis and this leads in turn to the production of inflammatory proteins. He added that atopic dermatitis is associated with an immune dysfunction but that researchers have failed so far to decipher what is the mechanism underlying this connection. So far, atopic dermatitis has been treated with moisturizers that hydrate skin or corticosteroids that reduce inflammation. It is important to say that these treatments are symptomatic, in other words they do not cure dermatitis, they only alleviate symptoms. Indra said that by understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying this disease researchers can create new personalized and more effective therapies for treating atopic dermatitis.

Psoriasis affects approximately two to three percent of the European population and is caused when the body's immune system signals the skin cells to divide at a higher rate than normal. The most common form of the disease, psoriasis vulgaris, causes scaly, itchy patches of skin to form, which are often uncomfortable and can be painful. One of the published studies, conducted by scientists from the Genetic Analysis of Psoriasis Consortium and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium Two performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on individuals with psoriasis and a control group free from the condition, looking for small genetic variations known as SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). They uncovered eight regions not previously identified with psoriasis, including seven regions known to contain genes linked with immune function. Six of these were confirmed by an earlier European study that analysed the genomes of over 9,000 people. The scientists also discovered evidence of a strong interaction between two independent genetic regions, HLA-C and ERAP1 associated with the condition, which - when linked in this way - are thought to greatly increase the risk of developing the disease. Professor Richard Trembath from King's College, London who co-led the study said: 'Through our research, and other studies now coming through, the research community have identified genes that play a role in people's susceptibility to the condition'. At present, [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/psoriasis.html treatment options for psoriasis] are limited and complex, but experts hope that this new information may provide new leads for the development of better treatment for psoriasis and related disorders. Dr James Elder of the University of Michigan Health System who leads a related American study said: 'The goal is to guide the pharmaceutical companies toward a better understanding about which cells are working and which ones are causing trouble so that medicines can be made to stop the trouble'. The results were reported across five papers published in the journal Nature Genetics.

Some children outgrow atopic dermatitis (the most common type of eczema) or have milder cases as they age. In severe cases, this non-contagious rash forms clear, fluid-filled blisters. If you are concerned that the skin is infected you should visit your doctor. What causes atopic dermatitis isn't clear, but those affected may have a personal history of allergies and asthma and a sensitive immune system. Your McCabes pharmacist can advice you on choosing the right products from the La Roche Posay skin care range to help treat and ease the symptoms.

When my editor asked me to try a new hair removal method, I was pumped. As a beauty writer, I'm always looking to test out new products and services. When asked what part of my body I planned on making smooth, I volunteered my lady business, despite never having had a wax down there. Many of my friends get Brazilian waxes and swear by them, but because I have sensitive skin, I've been hesitant to try one. I had heard horror stories about wax burning or ripping friends' skin down below, and well... enough said. After reading about the Nufree system, however, I decided to put my money where my bikini line is and try it out. Nufree is a hair-removal system similar to waxing except it doesn't contain any wax, honey or sugar and is antibacterial and antimicrobial, which sounded perfect for my sensitive skin. Plus, the company doesn't test on animals, which is a bonus because I try to only use beauty products that are animal-friendly. Still, being a bikini-waxing virgin, I was nervous as I walked into the Massage Therapy Center in LA for my appointment. Both the receptionists and my esthetician, Brigitte, put me at ease. I voiced my concern about what often happens when I remove hair from any part of my body since I have a type of [http://www.herosepharma.com psoriasis] that does not appreciate hair removal; typically, I get bumps and redness that last for a couple days, if not longer. Brigitte informed me that indeed Nufree works well for those with sensitive skin, and as she spread the warm product on me, I began to relax a bit. Now, have I mentioned I was terrified of the pain? In addition to fearing the repercussions for my sensitive skin, I had heard how much a bikini wax hurts, especially when it's your first time. I won't lie: Each strip caused me to flinch a bit, but any time a hair follicle is being extracted, it's not going to feel great! It got easier after the first few strips, and I found I was calm enough to have a conversation with Brigitte and actually enjoy each warm application of Nufree.

My asthma is very well controlled with the help of the wonderful pill Singulair. I almost never have to use my rescue inhaler and my daily activities aren't limited - I can generally do high intensity exercise with no trouble breathing. Singulair used to only be available in a brand name form, but recently (within in the past year), drug companies have been given the green light to go ahead and produce this medication in a generic form, with the same active ingredient, montelukast sodium. This past fall, I received the generic and when I tried it, my [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html eczema] got worse and I got puffy eyes. When I stopped taking the medication, these effects went away. I don't think this was just a fluke because I then tried it again and got the same results. At the time, I filed a claim with the FDA and also called the drug manufacturer to get a list of the ingredients.

There are times when it feels like my skin is a size too small for my body, similar to how my pants feel after Thanksgiving dinner. One of my goals for 2013 is to explore and research natural remedies for treating psoriasis. I decided to start with a few that I've used when I'm feeling particularly uncomfortable and needed some extra oomph: 1. Olive Oil After a night shower, I rub a little bit of olive oil directly onto the dry patches. Be sure to wear soft clothing that you don't mind getting ruined. It's a greasy feeling, but you'll wake up with your skin still feeling moisturizer. In doing some additional research, I learned that due to its emollient properties, olive oil will keep the drying skin supple and less prone to damage, while the anti-oxidants will encourage normal skin growth. Another way to use olive oil as a treatment is to combine 2 teaspoons with a large glass of milk and then add the mixture to your bath water. Or if you are dealing with psoriasis on your scalp, massage some warm olive oil on your scaly patches. It will help soften the dead skin and make it easier to remove. Tip: Put the olive oil into a spritz bottle to avoid a huge puddle and excess oil in your hands. 2. Plastic wrap I've mentioned this before but it's a really great option for pinpointing stubborn spots or areas that are particularly irritating. After applying your medication or moisturizer, wrap your body in plastic wrap to help keep the application in place and keep it on your body instead of rubbing off on your clothes or bedding. The plastic wrap is an odd feeling to get used to, especially sleeping in a hot room. For the first few times, it may be easier to wrap up one or two spots so you get used to the odd feeling. All cases of psoriasis are unique, so I ask you not to get frustrated if any of the home remedies do not work immediately for you. These home remedies are not designed to replace the current treatment plan that you've worked on with your healthcare provider. They are to help provide instant (overnight) relief when you are feeling uncomfortable. The severity of your psoriasis usually drives how often you frequent your dermatologist, but sometimes insurance and health care coverage is the reason. Always check with your insurance company or explore alternatives such as Aviva health insurance to understand what your options for treatment are.

It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious. There are five types of psoriasis. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, appears as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells. Psoriasis can occur on any part of the body and is associated with other serious health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. Psoriasis is the most common autoimmune disease in the U.S. As many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis. Scientists believe that at least 10 percent of the general population inherits one or more of the genes that create a predisposition to psoriasis. However, only 2 percent to 3 percent of the population develops the disease. Researchers believe that for a person to develop psoriasis, the individual must have a combination of the genes that cause psoriasis and be exposed to specific external factors known as ?triggers". Psoriasis triggers are not universal. What may cause one person's psoriasis to become active, may not affect another. Established psoriasis triggers include: Stress Injury to skin Medications Although scientifically unproven, some people with psoriasis suspect that allergies, diet and weather trigger their psoriasis. Strep infection is known to trigger guttate psoriasis. Article Source: [http://justagirlwithspots.com/about-psoriasis/ http://justagirlwithspots.com/about-psoriasis/] == Benefits of Fermented Foods == Your body receives help breaking down foods into their component parts from the organisms that live in your gut (intestinal flora). These bacteria, yeasts and fungi can produce beneficial waste products as they feast on your digesting food, such as B and K vitamins that your body needs. They also function to break down some foods that your body cannot absorb by itself by changing carbs into simple sugars and proteins into amino acids. In fact, without good gut bacteria, your body cannot absorb certain undigested starches, fiber, and sugars. The list of conditions and diseases thought to be directly or indirectly related to a shortage of friendly gut bacteria is long: Infectious diarrhea Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Inflammatory Bowel Disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease) Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection, which causes ulcers and chronic stomach inflammation Leaky gut (a compromised intestinal wall that allows undigested foods and toxins to pass into the bloodstream, triggering an inappropriate immune system response) Lactose intolerance Post-surgical infections Urinary and female genital tract infections [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html Atopic Dermatitis](eczema) and acne Autism Article Source: [http://healthworkscollective.com/immunophen/73516/gut-flora-support-immune-system http://healthworkscollective.com/immunophen/73516/gut-flora-support-immune-system] == Eosinophilic Esophagitis == Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is an allergic, inflammatory disease caused by elevated eosinophils in the esophagus, which lead to inflammation of the esophagus. The eosinophils cause damage to the tissue of the esophagus. Other allergic issues often are part of EE, including a runny nose, asthma, and skin rashes such as eczema. Food allergy or intolerance can cause EE, which is why diet is so important to people with EE. Diseases other than EE can cause eosinophils to flourish in the esophagus, including gastroesophageal reflux diseases and inflammatory bowel disease. EE is a rare disorder, and diagnosis can take several years. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that are normally found in the intestines, but are not normally found in the esophagus. Eosinophils help to fight off certain types of infection and are involved in allergic reactions. Eosinophils sometimes are damaging if they migrate to parts of the body that they are not normally found in, such as the nose if a person has rhinitis, the lungs if a person has asthma, or the esophagus if a person has EE. Diagnosis EE usually is diagnosed through endoscopy with biopsies. The gastroenterologist will look at the esophagus, the stomach, and the upper part of the intestines (the duodenum). Several tissue samples are taken. Once EE is diagnosed, the next step is allergy testing to determine the underlying cause of the disorder. EE can affect anyone, of any age or ethnic background. Males are more at risk than females. Some people may have a genetic tendency to develop EE. Most people with EE have a familial history of allergies and symptoms of allergy disorders, such as asthma, nasal allergies, [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html atopic dermatitis] and/or food allergy.

Sometimes this is an uninformed assumption, but often it's a belief held by those who have tried acupuncture to little or no avail. So, why didn't acupuncture work for these people? While living for eight years in China, where I gave and observed thousands of acupuncture treatments, I identified certain commonalities among people who have success with acupuncture. Since being back in the U.S., I've noticed that many of these things apply here as well. People who see positive results from acupuncture share several characteristics. Here are three key requirements for effective acupuncture care. Gotta Get the Right Dose In today's world, instant gratification is in high demand. People who are new to acupuncture often expect immediate results, and stop coming when they don't get them. Rome was not built in a day, and acupuncture is not going to solve your problems overnight. Acupuncture works cumulatively, meaning one treatment builds on the next. I consider a course of treatment to be 10 sessions, received once weekly or more often, depending on the severity, chronicity and urgency of the problem. The first 10 sessions commonly produce some improvement, or even complete recovery. But again, it depends on the nature of your condition. Certain acute problems?for example, neck stiffness and pain, muscle strains and sprains from sports injuries, early-stage carpal tunnel syndrome?typically resolve in five-to-ten sessions, sometimes less. Chronic diseases, especially those associated with functional weakness of organs or low immunity, require long-term treatment. Examples of these more chronic conditions include most cases of infertility, asthma, allergies, some skin disorders like [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html psoriasis] and neurological diseases. Urgent conditions, such as severe migraines or post-operative pain, may require two to three treatments per week until symptoms are controlled, followed by less frequent visits until the condition is stabilized. Eventually, you can go down to once a month or less for maintenance. Similar to how medications are ineffective unless you take the prescribed dose, if you don't get acupuncture frequently enough?consistently, and within an appropriate time frame?it is unlikely to yield the desired result. Article Source: [http://acutakehealth.com/when-acupuncture-does-not-work http://acutakehealth.com/when-acupuncture-does-not-work] == Flaring of Atopic Dermatitis == It is important to note that the entire skin has the barrier abnormality that has been discovered in [http://www.herosepharma.com/diseases/eczema-atopic-dermatitis.html Atopic Dermatitis]. Some areas tend to exhibit more changes than others. Many different things can cause a child to experience itchy skin and a subsequent flare of the condition. Unfortunately, many families think that it is only foods that are triggers and when there is a lack of control, the parents are looking for more food allergy to be discovered. Consider also that temperature, humidity, irritants, infection, foods, inhalants, contact allergens, and emotional stress can be responsible for a flare. The Practice Parameters advise the careful use of allergy testing. The allergens should be relevant and at times a double-blinded food challenge is done to determine the relationship between the food and the symptoms. In clinical practice the double-blind challenge is somewhat problematic and hard to do. I would strongly advice against doing a specific IgE panel. These panels have more foods than are needed and each test increases the cost let alone the anxiety on behalf of the parent. One panel offers testing for extra foods including shrimp, clams, and walnuts all clearly not part of an infant's diet. Atopic Dermatitis was the model of disease where it was established that allergy tests by blood or by skin testing was falsely positive 50% of the time. What this means is that there is a real chance that there will be many positive tests for food items, however not all of them will be clinically relevant. Not all of them will mean anything. Not all of them will be associated with symptoms. I test to those foods commonly associated with food allergy in young children; egg, milk, wheat, soy, peanut, and fish (using codfish). This represents 90% of the foods associated with food allergy. There is evidence that aeroallergens may be triggers for flares of Atopic Dermatitis. These aeroallergens include house dust mites, animal allergens, and pollen. If the child is sensitive to these items, avoidance will help. In 30-50% of Atopic Dermatitis patients patch testing to aeroallergens will show a positive skin response, however the clinical relevance of this is at this time unclear. Several studies have shown improvement of Atopic Dermatitis with the use of house dust mite avoidance measures for those who are sensitive to the dust mite. It is also important to note that depending upon where you live, it could take as long as three years to develop pollen sensitivity. Irritants are often overlooked as a source of a flare factor. These items need to be considered as potential flares and should be avoided; soap, detergents, chemicals, abrasives clothing, extreme heat or cold, and extremes of humidity.

What makes it complex is the fact that it is incurable, because the problem is directly related to some malfunction of the immune system. There is a need to first correct the disorder happening inside the body before the reddening and flaking of the skin can be stopped. In the meantime, there are home treatments available to alleviate the symptom. What's Inside the Medicine Cabinet? Dietary supplements are known to help control symptoms of psoriasis, especially if they contain evening primrose oil, milk thistle, vitamin D or fish oil. Direct application of fish oil on the affected skin surface has been effective for some patients. Air Moisture Should Be Maintained Keep the air moist. This is to avoid drying out the skin, which can be very painful. One may also use skin moisturizers for the same purpose. Stop Using Perfumes and Dyes Use skin products that are especially formulated for sensitive skin and avoid using products that have fragrances and dyes in them. These ingredients are irritating to the skin and can only worsen the condition. What Foods to Eat? Good management of psoriasis entails keeping watch on the diet. Fatty foods and red meat are a big no-no. The National Psoriasis Foundation recommends eating cranberries, nuts, soy and chocolate.

I also had mild cerebral palsy and bipolar disorder. I never, in all my life, thought I had Lupus! I thought I only had CP and the psoriasis. Well, I started having symptoms of bipolar disorder at age 17, but wasn't diagnosed with that until age 27. During the 2000's, I would skip my period some months. I also started having frequent joint pain and I would feel wiped out sometimes. I just thought I was in my depressive phase of the bipolar disorder, which also runs in the family. Then, my mom and sister both had high ANA and later tested negative for lupus. Then, in the summer of 2010, my blood pressure was high, so I went to the doctor. He said that it was not high and ordered some blood work for me. A month later, he said my cholesterol was high and that I had a high ANA.

This condition is neither infectious (does not spread from one person to another) nor does it affect the general health. It affects both the genders and may start at any age. Psoriasis is quite common, affecting around two per cent of the population, although people with very mild symptoms may not be aware they have it. Psoriasis can begin at any age but usually starts either around the age of 20 or between 50 and 60. Causes of Psoriasis According to modern medical science the causes of psoriasis are unknown, but the following factors can trigger psoriasis: Heredity - If one parent is affected then there is 15% chance for a child to suffer from psoriasis. If both parents are affected then the possibility of a child getting psoriasis is 60%. Throat infections can trigger psoriasis. Trauma to the skin such as cuts, bruises or burns may cause psoriasis. Some medicines or skin irritants initiate psoriasis. Smoking and alcohol are another two factors which can activate psoriasis. Mental stress or psychological trauma may also set off psoriasis. - See more at: http://www.naturalbloom.com/articles/ayurveda-194/ [http://www.herosepharma.com Psoriasis Treatment in Singapore] == Reducing marital stress due to psoriasis == Question: For over eight years, I have had [http://www.herosepharma.com psoriasis] on my scalp. My wife has always been extremely supportive, even going so far as helping massage the psoriasis treatments into my scalp. In the past few months however, she has been complaining about my constant itching and scratching. Although she understands that the scratching relieves the itch, she doesn't seem to tolerate it as well as she did before. The tension between us is increasing and I'm afraid the psoriasis will lead to more problems in the future. What can I do? Answer: Psoriasis is often difficult on both spouses. Constant itching (also known as pruritus) can be upsetting to both the people who have it and their spouses. Quite simply, psoriasis isn't an easy condition to live with. Keep talking about it and try these tips: 1. Try to keep your scalp cool. Warmth tends to increase the likelihood of pruritus. You can even try using ice packs to gain some relief. 2. Dry skin tends to be more pruritic, so keep your scalp moisturized with a light emollient. Sarna-P is a very effective anti-itch cream. 3. For several decades now, many physicians have been treating psoriasis with tar-based shampoos. To ensure maximum penetration, leave the suds on your scalp for five minutes and then thoroughly rinse them away. 4. An all-in-one preparation such as Polytar AF uses soothing menthol to relieve the itching, salicylic acid to dissolve the scales, and hair conditioners to leave hair looking and smelling good. 5. Although scratching does relieve the itch, you should try your best to avoid any scratching or scraping because it can lead to infection. What's worse, hard scratching can trigger the formation of new psoriatic plaques and worsen the existing lesion.
