Advantages: Natural Remedy, Ocurrences seem fewer because of use

Disadvantages: Mail order product

Two years ago I had no idea what psoriasis was. It was something that you heard talked about but like all normal people you always assume that it will be someone else that the condition will affect.

However as a result of an increase in my workload my skin began to show indicators of this condition in the form of white patches on my knees and elbows. Naturally concerned I booked an appointment with my GP and once in her office was immediately told that I was suffering from psoriasis. She sat me down and talked me through what might be causing it and identified the increased workload as the most likely suspect.

Asking what she could prescribe for the problem she mentioned a steroid based cream which I was not particularly happy to use, as I did not want any more chemicals being absorbed by my body in excess of the already heavy dosages of tablets I have to take for my epilepsy. However I chose to accept the initial prescription whilst I looked for an alternative treatment.

My extended series of searches provided me with a vast array of information that I managed to whittle down to three products.

Tea Tree Oil – The first alternative I tried. Unfortunately this did not generate the results I hoped as I still had small patches after a period of regular use.

Evening Primrose Oil – This disagreed with my tablets that I am on for epilepsy (Sodium Valproate and Phenytoin)

Goat’s Milk Cream – Of the three this generated the best results clearing all the patches within 14 days.

There is an alternative to steroid based creams and the items above are just three of them. Give them a go you might find them useful.

Goats Milk cream? Very interesting. My wee nephew has excema, and only drinks goats milk as it's better for his skin. Jessy - tea tree stuff is available everywhere - Boots, superdrug etc. Not sure about the goat stuff.
