Psoriasis and Some Tried Methods To Cooping With It...

Tweet

I have had psoriasis since I was 12 years old. For many it really is a pain to keep under control, since so much can effect it from your eating habits to stress levels. These are a few methods I have used to ease such flare ups so I can save a little money from running to the doctor every time. I hope that it can help others with this condition. 1. If you are one that showers instead of sitting in the bath tub try taking a bath every other day and just soak for a bit. With a pumice stone ever so gently scrub the effected areas (just enough to get the top layer of dead skin off, don't scrub to much otherwise you can cause it to bleed, you don't want this to happen otherwise it could cause the area to flare). 2. Pat yourself dry, but not to the point where your skin will dry instantly. 3. Apply a small amount of baby oil to effected areas rubbing in thoroughly.(Don't use to much baby oil otherwise you'll feel really greasy afterwards) Than apply whatever brand of lotion you use. I use this method daily and it has helped keep the effected areas moisturized and stopped them from drying out to the point of it cracking and becoming uncomfortable. You will find also that some of the effected areas will start to heal and disappear if you follow this routine religiously. I hope this can help those of you out there that are dealing with this skin condition.
