Using Salicylic Acid Ointments:
Skin care experts suggest that patients suffering from psoriasis can keep the symptoms in control using salicylic acid based ointments. This helps to smoothen the skin while reducing the psoriatic scales. However, this is not a good idea to use the ointments at regular basis thinking that frequent use will bring faster result. One should follow the process of using it as prescribed by the expert. As the scales are reduced, you experience less inflammation and itching. Moreover, if scale production is reduced there is less chance of psoriasis to spread rapidly.
Natural based Creams:
One of the safest and best results in the long term results for psoriasis is a natural eczema or psoriasis cream. These creams will calm down the inflammation on the skin. I recommend the cream from this company: Grahams Natural
Steroid Based Creams:
Another effective way to Treat Psoriasis symptoms like itching, inflammation is to use steroid based creams. However, prior that, you have to consult with doctor if you have other skin ailments that can be affected due to the use of such creams. For example, patients who have skin allergy should not use steroid based creams as it triggers those symptoms while controlling psoriasis symptoms.
Using Anthalin Type Topical Medicine:
Topical treatment for psoriasis includes the use of anthalin ointments, a special medication that normalize the DNS activity of skin cell. This also helps the skin to become smooth while removing the scale.
Sunlight Therapy:
It is a natural solution that helps to keep psoriasis symptoms in control. Regular sunlight doses, (you should absorb the heat in a way so that you don’t experience sun burn) gives you a soothing relief from that burning sensation during scale reduction. Moreover, you don’t experience any other side effects when you try this method. Consult your doctor and he will suggest how and at what time you should absorb light so that you can avoid the risk of skin cancer caused from harmful UV rays.
Changes in Regular Diet:
In many people, psoriasis is a result of poor liver function and in that case, changes in your regular diet help improving the condition. Taking a glass of milk thistle (herb thistle) slows down the process of T-cell activation that is common symptom of psoriasis.
Use of special Herb in Bathwater:
Using special herbs like rose petals and chamomile in bathwater proves helpful to prevent skin dryness which actually cause scale reduction.
Use Vinegar to Clean Face:
Use old and plain vinegar along with any other soft cleaning agents to wash face. This prevents faster cell growth and sooth itching and inflammation.
How Bicarbonate Soda Can Help:
At the advanced stage of psoriasis, you experience constant itchiness that is hard to bear. In such situation you get relief applying bicarbonate soda mixing it with distilled water.
Supplements to Treat Psoriasis:
Supplements like sesame oil or flaxseed oil help in treating psoriasis in both young and old people. These supply omega 3 and stimulate blood flow that control inflammation and itching.
Increased Intake of Fish Oil:
Regular intakes of fishes, which are rich in fatty acid, bring improvement in psoriasis symptoms. You can include fishes like cord, tuna, and mackerel in your daily diet to prevent the growth of psoriasis from inside out.
