****************

Dear Dr. Gott: Please tell me what to do to get rid of my psoriasis. I’ve had it for a

long time and just can’t seem to get rid of it. I do have a prescription for Taclonex that

works well, but I don’t have health insurance to continue to fill the expensive

prescription. What else can I do?





*********************

Dear Reader: Most forms of psoriasis are cyclical, meaning symptoms flare up, subside and

then flare up again. An outbreak can present with red, scaly patches of skin, itching,

painful joints and more.



Common forms can appear anywhere on the body, including the inside of the mouth. Treatment

depends on the location of the outbreak. Some lesions might be controlled with an

over-the-counter topical cream. Corticosteroids are prescription anti-inflammatory drugs

prescribed frequently. And, as you pointed out, some drugs can be quite expensive.



Keep your skin moisturized, especially after bathing. Avoid harsh soaps and very hot

water. Both will dry your skin and aggravate the lesions. Use a sun block prior to going

out of doors in daily sunlight. Controlled exposure can improve lesions, but take caution

not to overdo it, as too much sun will trigger an outbreak.



Alternative control includes synthetic forms of vitamin D that may reduce inflammation of

the skin and block cells from reproducing. Medicated chest rubs can be applied to affected

areas to relieve the itch and stop the scaling.



Apart from being healthful, eating a banana a day can benefit psoriasis, not for the

fruit, rather for the peel. Simply rub the inside of the peel over small or mildly

irritated areas two or three times a day. Cut the balance of the peel into patches large

enough to cover the most serious lesions. Hold in place with paper tape. Replace daily.

The results will be astonishing
