I have suffered from Psoriasis for nearly twenty years and controlled it wit steroid creams and emollients, however I Have just been recommended to try this new treatment by the community matrons. Its from a firm called Skin Kind Cosmetics, who have an agent in Accrington Paradise St. Pharmacy, who I have contacted. They recommend, as a new customer to contact the firm direct who are prepared to give a two weeks risk free trial, I'm waiting for them to get back to me. If any ones interested the free phone telephone number is 0800 883 07890

Wonderful to see that the NHS are advising a herbal/natural/non pharmacutical way of treatment

PS - if you find that lavender works for you, try this
Dr Bronner's Organic Lavender Castile Liquid Soap
...a whole body wash, free from synthetics

Thanks for this. My son and daughter have suffered with excema since being born. I'll look into this

I know this might sound daft but ´im indoors uses Head and Shoulders which seems to help his psoriasis. He used to be in such a mess and spent a fortune on lotions and potions but using the shampoo to wash himself down in the shower really helps.

Worth a try x

Sorry.

My mistake.

I thought this thread was to offer congratulations to the winner on the Observer's Bonny Baby competition.

I too suffer with psoriasis, I was told about Oregon Grape Root cream and within 3 weeks of using it the worst of the psoriasis had gone and I have only a few small patches now. I would highly recommend it. It is available from www.skinshop.co.uk and is made with only natural ingredients. I only ever use this now.

If you are advised to try 'Epaderm' cream, don't bother, it doesn't work too well and costs £13 for a bottle although I got mine on prescription (£7.40) but when I checked the ingredients it is the same as the aqueous cream available from Home & Bargain for £1 :-/ !!

Just picked up on this whilst investigating bananas (don't ask..

).
Maybe worth a try ...LOL.

'More than just a tasty fruit, the skin of a banana contains esterified fatty acids, which can be used as a skin lotion. Natives rub banana peels on their skin problems; which is supported by modern research, which says that banana peels used on red, scaly patches of psoriasis will provide a natural relief. Exorex lotion is a patented lotion created from the isolation of the esterified fatty acids and is sold commercially.'

Thanks JB I've ordered some, the preparation I posted about wasn't too successful

I ordered and use the Oregon hand and body wash - it is lovely stuff - like unscented shaving foam.

When my Mum was alive, she suffered from psoriasis. She used "Simply" soap and shampoo. She said it removed irritation and soreness.

I totally agree with this. I suffered from warts and scaly patches but found on the internet about banana skins. It worked, warts an all.
