I’d recommend the Dead Sea shampoo in. White and blue bottle....I’ll try and find it online and post the link xSo my doctor diagnosed me with psoriasis a few years back. I've tried every treatment that you could think of. Smelly shampoos, ointment, steroid liquid. Nothing helps. Does anyone have a shampoo they can recommend? I've already tried: T Gel, Nizoral, Head & Shoulders, Body Shop Ginger Shampoo, Psoriaid (Amazon). I'm at my wits end. I'm constantly scratching and the flakes are so embarrassing that I can't wear dark clothing. Does anyone know what their triggers are? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, does it stop the itching and flakes? XThis is the one I meant x
Yes! I’ve had both. I was on them for nearly 7 month with no effect. I’m now on ciclosporin and noticed a difference within days!has anyone tried methotrexate injection or tablets? I’ve only just started considering it bc I have tried everything for the last seven years now and I’m sick of it affecting my mental health so much, would love to know if anyone has experience with it xx
I've been on methotrexate for 2 years. It's made some difference but I think Sulfasalazine helped me the most (although I have psoriatic arthritis)Yes! I’ve had both. I was on them for nearly 7 month with no effect. I’m now on ciclosporin and noticed a difference within days!
Please don't ever ditch moisturizers and basic skin self-care when you have severely dry and atopic skin. It's lunacy.Have you guys heard of “no moisture therapy”, it’s basically when you ditch all steroid and moisturisers, so that your body will start producing its own moisture. I’ve read a lot about it on Reddit and online (I’ll attach some articles), but honestly I’m too scared to try it...

Thank you for responding! I’ll have a look at ciclosporin now xxYes! I’ve had both. I was on them for nearly 7 month with no effect. I’m now on ciclosporin and noticed a difference within days!
Yes I do, I really struggle with wearing short sleeves or shorts. I recommend spending a lot of time at home idk if you have a garden in your shorts or skin out tanning, and if you don’t go to a local park with just your arms out and try and combat feeling uncomfortable. When you’re somewhere less busy it becomes easier to feel less insecure. Sometimes I feel like getting outside somewhere not busy and having my arms out prepares me for feeling less self conscious in busier places if that makes sense?As for when I go out, like into town i love wearing trousers that are like linen material and really breezy and shirts on top or a cropped top with long sleeves. Not really about how to get sunshine on skin and kinda unrelated but that’s how I feel like most confident if I was going to a a really busy place in summerDo you guys often feel self conscious in hot weather, and wearing short sleeves? I’m trying to overcome the feeling because I know that fresh air and sun is good for my skin. But, even though my eczema isn’t really noticeable I still feel like people will look at me
Dont be put off by the side effects. I was so scared to take it but I was fine! Just a bit more tired than usual but it’s honestly worth it! XThank you for responding! I’ll have a look at ciclosporin now xx

Sorry for the delay! Yes I remember it helping! My scalp psoriasis has improved hugely thankfully tho my scalp is so prone to sun burn even though the rest of me is fine.Thanks, does it stop the itching and flakes? X
I do yeah, I’ve had it most of my life. I’m 31 now so I care a little less but I’m still very aware of it. And it has a huge impact on what I wear etc sadly.Do you guys often feel self conscious in hot weather, and wearing short sleeves?

Haven’t drank for 68 days now and quit smoking 22 days ago, the difference is nice but I feel a bit disappointed that it hasn’t completely cleared up :/ it hasn’t improved as much as I hoped it would tbh!Hi all
I’m 35 days free from alcohol and my psoriasis is getting better everyday! Yeah, It’s a bit boring, but I’m so happy and if I can go off all alcohol just to see a difference in my skin, anyone can. I’ve also been putting olive oil on as a moisturiser haha and getting in sun every other day. But I’m certain being sober is what’s helped my skin so much!
They will possibly want you to try all the lotions and potions first unless your GP has prescribed those already but there is a few that only the dermatologist have. If you’re lucky and they allow you to skip that I’d recommend cyclosporine over methotrexate. I had no results on MTX and I was on it for 6 month. Cyclosporine worked in days! But I stopped due to side effects (heartburn, joint pain, chest pain etc) so now I’m on the biologics waiting list.Haven’t drank for 68 days now and quit smoking 22 days ago, the difference is nice but I feel a bit disappointed that it hasn’t completely cleared up :/ it hasn’t improved as much as I hoped it would tbh!
Going to the dermatologist next month, I’ve used steroid creams years ago but never taken tablets. Gonna see if I’ll start methotrexate, cyclosporine or something like that. Anyone have any recommendations for tablets?
oh shit, not nice side effects I’ll keep that in mind but happy it worked for you for a bit :/ hope you get biologics soon. Melts didn’t work at all for you? Do you mind me asking how severe your psoriasis is? thanks so much for your response xxThey will possibly want you to try all the lotions and potions first unless your GP has prescribed those already but there is a few that only the dermatologist have.
