I'm having psoriasis for nearly 17 years. Initially I tried ayurvedic treatment (patolakaturohinyadi, madhusnuhi) felt better and over a period of time I switched to allopathic treatment (dermatrex). I developed psoriatic arthritis on my left feet and it has not got any better and now i'm using psorid 200 mg/day and by using it sometimes I feel better but not always. I have psoriasis on my trunk about 20%, ears, behind the ears, scalp and legs. I'm non-alcoholic and non smoker. Please advise.

Sensitive skin moisturizers are also great at keeping your skin supple and preventing plaques from forming. 2. Avoid fragrances Most soaps and perfumes have dyes and other chemicals in them that may irritate your skin. They can make you smell great, but they also can inflame psoriasis. 3. Eat healthfully Diet may play a role in managing psoriasis. Eliminating red meat and fatty snacks may help reduce flare-ups triggered by such foods. Cold water fish, seeds, nuts, and omega-3 fatty acids are known for their ability to reduce inflammation. 4. Soak your body Hot water may be an irritant for your skin. However, a lukewarm bath can soothe the itching and infiltrate scales and plaques. Moisturize immediately after your bath for double benefits. 5.
