Thank you for the tips, y'all. I've had a scalp psoriasis since I was 12 (I'm now 29) and it's starting to get worse and spread to other body parts. Especially now in the middle of winter when there's no sign of Sun here in Northern Finland. I'm now going to try coconut oil, baking soda, flaxseed capsules and see how it goes. So thanks again for the tips! I also want to say something else. It makes me sad to see there are some people who first tell their story how they found a cure, and then ask others to e-mail them to learn how they can order it. If someone really got cured and found out a great remedy, I'm sure they would share their "secrets" to others who suffer, and not try to make money out of it. It's disgusting when some people are using our horrible situation to earn money.

dear sirs i have had psoriasis for 6 months can any one help me regards peter robinson

Can I get it from Kuwait market?

showed completely gone in 4 days.Use 1 in morning and after bathing at night.Drank 2 spoons 2x daily.To better treat my diabetes I gonna increase my intake to 4 tablespoons.And it doesn't taste like coconut.Which I like the taste of coconut.

I've been eating and using Coconut oil all over my body for 4 months now.It's amazing! No more dry patches and no itchiness just smooth shining brown skin.And my diabetes i more controlled. Definitely try this you will be amazed. can't be beat

I had a really bad outbreak of psoriasis my body was pretty much covered with big patches. I have been fighting this for many years. I also have spent years using prescriptions and never have worked for me. My son-in-law gave me a bar of grandmas lye soap to try. I used it for one month and the psoriasis was cleared up. I quit using it for two weeks and my psoriasis came back. So I ordered some more grandmas lye soap and continued to use it everyday and I will never stop using it because it really does work. So if you are one of these people and you can't find anything that will clear your psoriasis just try the soap and you will see that it does work.

so my best bet with the psoriasis is to try the coconut oil?

I have been suffering from psoriasis for a year. I brokeout all over my body. I have been using psoriasin ointment and shampoo. it is clearing up

You can purchase all organic, unrefined virgin coconut oil at TropialTraditions.com. I have used it on my skin for the last 2 years and my skin feels amazing. I've never had any skin ailments but my son does. He thinks I'm crazy when I mention coconut oil to cure nearly everything, but it is naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. It can be taken internally and has a 2yr shelf life. I also cook with it since it's healthy for you as opposed to Canola which is from the rape seed, a known toxin.

forget-a-bout it.... nothing works. my dad had it, now i have it... tried everything. the last script was a tube of ointment for.... are you ready for this...0.00/tube, (vetical, I think)less than the size of toothpaste tube! And, .............it doesn't work. we're cursed!

I have a nasty bout of psoriasis on the backs of my hands,

i was told to try rubbing banana peels(inside of the peel) over my psoriasis...it helps, but doesnt clear it up. It doesnt leave you sticky and doesnt even leave you smelling like bananas! Try it, and enjoy the banana while your rubbing!

i am 23 years old and have an extreme case of psoriasis. It is on my elbows, scalp, ears, hands, face, thighs, stomach, knees, calves, teet, and yes even my bum, i cant shve because a tiny nick turns into a giant patch of psoriasis and i was perscribed a 300$ cream( better cure cancer) that i can't even afford=( I have tried cortisone perscribed, but after a full year and one very hot summer wearing long sleeves and jeans the whole way through, i am officially fed up!!! talk about a blow to the self esteem... i have been using coconut oil as a topical but am going to try ingesting it aswell, cut out the caffeine... and ill let ya know what happens...

Beware of 'Psoriasis Free for Life' recommended above. It's a scam. Once you go to the page you can't get out of it. Luckily i have a mac computer, but I think you may get a virus with a p.c. Anyways am gonna try the coconut oil plus apple cider vinegar....

I have been using baking soda every time I shower on my scalp. I put a small pile in my hand and add a bit of water to it till its like pancake batter. I dont use shampoos if I really dont have to, I find they make it worse. After I get out of the shower I rub tea tree oil onto my scalp, it really feels good and I find I can lessen the outbreaks as well as the frequency of them. Also I bought oil of wild oregano from a health food store and I have been taking 4 drops everyday in a little shot of orange juice. It helps boost ur immune system and I find lessens the frequency of my outbreaks as well. After reading about the benefits of coconut oil I am going to try that too!

I found pure coconut oil in the baking isle at Walmart. Same isle as cooking oils and shortening.

I have read that psorasis can be a sign of some internal body problem like digestive leakage due to compromised immune system; allergies, etc. It might be good to see a homeopathic doctor or chiropractor if you have this problem like I do?

my psoriasis is mostly on the back of my ears and around my hair line and different other places esp. skin folds I started using witch hazel ((tucks pads work great as it has witch hazel as main ingriedient)), it has cleared up behind my ears because it helps with any infection that may come from scratching i still have several patches so coconut oil is my next try thanks for feedback.

pauline, I'm using coconut oil for my stretch marks and it seems to be helping so far. I wanted to let you know that one thing to remember is you do NOT want the refined oil because it goes through so much heat and chemical treatment to be refined that it loses a lot of its natural healing components. Look for organic virgin coconut oil which is cold pressed and unrefined. You can find it at herbal food stores. Good luck!!

I have developed(as my doctor diagnosed, this week) psoriasis over the last couple of months, being mainly on the soles of my feet.My doctor also said it was probably a change of temperature that caused this. It has got to a stage that my skin is cracking over a wide area of my feet, including in between my toes, and the soreness is too much to walk at times. I was subscibed a mild steroid,hydrovate.Although I have only been using this ointment for 5 days, twice a day,I am still suffering with the soreness quite badly. Can someone, anyone, tell me how I can get hold of this refined coconut oil.

I've been taking Vitamin D3 supplements and Flaxseed capsules and my psoriasis cleared up!! I usually take 2,000-4,000 IU's a day of Vit.D3. I noticed when I was in Florida in the sun all the time, my psoriasis cleared up, and you get D3 from the sun. So if you don't get enough sun, try D3 supplements!!

I take 1000mg of turmeric as 1 pill everyday. It helps a lot with keeping the swelling down

@ Saira.khaliq, Try applying organic Coconut Oil for overnight on affected areas. Its anti-oxidant activity helps with rapid maturation of the skin cells which is considered one of the main causes of Psoriasis. Also taking Coconut Oil internally and eating Vitamin D supplements work too. I hope it helps... Good luck!

My 17 year old son has suffered with Psoriasis for about 5 years. we have tried all tratments from GP and referal made to Hospital without much success. this has had an emotional impact on him and he often brakdown in tears. i would love to hear from someone who would be able to suggets home remady to cure the problem.

I would like to share with all of you something that has worked for me to get rid of my psoriasis completely. I got my first sign of psoriasis about 13 years ago on my hands. It was not bad at first but in the winter of 1997 my hands looked like that of an unhealthy 90 year old man and I was only 26 then! In 1999 I had some major challenges in my life and it came back full force in my palms, on my knees, under my feet and on my elbows. I tried everything natural and unnatural to get rid of the psoriasis, but it would not go away and the stress I was under wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. During the day I visited every dermatologist I knew and at nights I was on the internet searching for the answer. Finally in 2009 after 10 years of research and paying thousands of dollars to doctors, I found the combination of couple of ointments that were suggested to me by doctors, that worked and since then I have been living psoriasis free! My skin has never been smoother since then and I am not ashamed to wear short sleeves or short pants and even go to the beach and enjoy the sun and the sand like everyone else. Now that I have tested this on me, for almost 2 years, and with confidence I know it will work for you too and you too can live psoriasis free, I am willing to share this ointment mixture with you. For further details on how to order this ointment, do not hesitate to email me at hamlet.sca@gmail.com I will reply ASAP to your request and explain you exactly how it works and how you can order it. I guarantee you will see result in less than three weeks.

I have had psoriasis since i was little. i have tried everything. the topical creams worked for a while but then they stopped. i am going to try the coconut oil and see if it works. i have psoriasis over 90% of my body and i would love more than anything to be able to wear shorts again...or even a bathing suit. wish me luck

I have Psoriasis on my face. I was givin hydrocortisone cream 2.5 (spell check) for it a while back and it worked wonders. Now that im no longer recieving it, the patches flare up, itch, turn red, and scale. My face is more sensitive than most of my other bodyparts. So, what else is there i can use so that it will not look so bad??

I've read the comments on the coconut oil, I want to give this a try. The problem is I can NOT find refined coconut oil. Everyone sells unrefine coconut oil. Where can I get it.

I have had inverse psoriasis on my neck and starting under my arms. I have tried about everything, the tanning bed doesn't appear to work on inverse psoriasis so through trial and error I have used the following and the psoriasis is clearing up. First for the severe redness and inflamation go to your local pharmacy and buy Domeboro astrigent solution. You can mix this to whatever strength you want and use it as a compress. You can keep the solution for several days and keep reusing it. I then use a good moisturizing cream that is absorbed into the skin. Next for the itching I used Caladryl Clear lotion. Then I top off with a "chafing relief powder-gel" made by Monistat and can be purchased in the feminine aisle. This is keeps the skin from chafing. I also used some anti-fungal spray in case the moisture from the lotion caused a fungal infection. you may need to try a mixture of these and may need to use them in a different order. The caladryl will dry out the psoriasis but not to the point of being plaque psoriasis. Hope this helps someone else.

I have been having Psoriasis for the last 2 years and despite numerous visits to the doctors and using various skin fungi creams, the ocndition persisted.The simplest way for it to subside is to AVOID totally all milk (including evaporated milk altogether. This meant a big NO NO to all cheese,yoghurts,ice creams,cakes,creamy gravies, biscuits,salad creams/dressings even mashed potatoes mixed with milk products. The psoriasis will flair up exactly 4 hours after ingesting any of the above.I will try the coconut oil treatment

I found this site back in January of this year. I was researching Psoriasis. I had an outbreak that had lasted more than 8 months and was desperate to clear it up. I have spent years using prescriptions and finally reached the point where they stopped working. One of the comments mentioned coconut oil so I did further research and decided to try it. I purchased refined coconut oil and put it to the test. For the first month, I ingested 2 TBS per day (in hot cocoa or tea) and applied it topically as a moisturizer. To make the test fair, I stopped using a tanning bed and all the topicals I had accumulated. Once my skin started clearing (arms, legs, hands, scalp, stomach and back), I stopped ingesting it and just continued using as a topical. Not only am I clear enough to show my legs and elbows, but my nails have also cleared. If I have a flair up, I do go back to ingesting coconut oil until it clears up. I have stuck with it for 3 months and I am very pleased with the results. If you do a search on 'benefits of coconut oil' you will see that it has many benefits. I did learn that it needs to be refined coconut oil because that is the one that has the 'anti-fungal' properties. I worked for me. This site and the participants that took the time to share their experiences made such a difference for me and I am grateful. It inspired me to do further research because I also have a slight case of rosacea on my face and read on this site that Apple Cider Vinegar was good for that. The recommendation was 2 tbsp daily and then using it as a topical. It tasted horrible and it burned my skin. Fortunately, there is an ACV supplement and it also has multiple benefits. After 3 months of trying that, I have found that it also provided wonderful results for me. Not leaving anything to chance, I did further research and discovered that Oregano Oil is also a great supplement. I have taken that for 3 months too. My overall results are amazing: my skin have improved at least 90%. I encourage people to research alternative options, because they do exist. BTW (ladies), coconut oil is wonderful for the skin. It can actually help diminish age lines; it does offer UV protection and helps your skin retain moisture.
