Skin care routine for psoriasis sufferers? Is there one? The internet talks of coal tar and UV therapy but I only have small patches so dont need all that. Its especially flaky on my forehead and eyebrows for some reason!!

Does anyone have the cure?

another one here for vitamin D

I've had psoriasis for years. not serious but enough to make me weep every now and then (normally at this time of year)

Cod liver oil has been uh-mayyy-zing. No, really. That and Exorex (the coal tar one, not the vaseliney one) and Body Shop hemp body butter.It never quite goes, but it's about a tenth of what it was this time last year

sorry for hijack as some of this is probly no good for you, OP- I've not really had it on my face, just legs, knees, elbows etc- but you could always give the vit D a go

Here we have a complete ban on anything with sodium lauryl sulphate in it (that includes aqueous cream believe it or not) and we supplement to keep good levels of vitamin D and B12.

I've had better results with this regime than with anything I have ever had on prescription over the last 20 years!
