I suffer from Psoriasis, and have found that the best way to control it is to heed the advice of my dermatologist and use my medicine!
That wasn’t your question, but.
Try the following, I’ve found they help:
1) Don’t itch
2) Take as small and as cool of a shower/bath as you can handle, and dry off immediately (without rubbing)
3) Don’t itch
4) Moisturize! Cetaphil cream works the best, it is
more expensive than “normal” lotions, but is very
gentle and does a fantastic job
5) Don’t itch
6) Relax! Stress can be a major trigger
7) Did I mention don’t itch?
