Psoriasis Treatment?

I have had a problem with psoriasis for 5 years. It is located on the base & sides of my nose and above my upper lip. I had been using my sister's corticosteriod medication, but that is no longer an option.

My main problem is the redness in this area; scaling is minimal and it doesn't itch.

I have tried vaseline, lotion, and a tar substance. The vaseline and lotion have minimal effect if any. And I have experimented with tar a couple times; each time my facial psoriasis is redder and sore. Does this mean it is working? Not working?

Is there a non-prescription treatment for my psoriasis, especially to get rid of the redness?


If the rash is around the nose and upper lip.,... It looks like seborrhoeic dermatitis and not psoriasis. Just do a web search for seborrhoeic dermatitis and see the pics. Does your rash look like that. If yes just apply nizoral shampoo to wash that area everyday. It will decrease. If it doesnt .... meet the dermatologist

Customer Reviews

overnight
This product works great on overnight treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
Give it time to dry on your scalp and NOTHING comes off onto your bed linens.
AWESOME for allergic skin and mild acne!!
This product is amazing not only for psoriasis (which I DO NOT have), but for exfoliation, and ESPECIALLY FOR SENSITIVE OR ALLERGIC SKIN. I use this nightly after cleansing my face. In the morning, my skin is clear, and glowing. Also helps to clear up occasional blemishes. Highly recommend this product.
Works Great
I'm using this in addition to a topical cream prescribed by a dermatologist . . . i put it on my skin once a day, before bed and it works very well in soothing my skin and reduces the itching. It makes a big difference in how my skin looks so i will continue to order this product. I would recommend this product to anyone who suffers with this skin condition.

It contains a unique combination of natural extracts and essential oils such as kukui nut oil, known to soothe and calm psoriasis flare-ups. Dermarest Psoriasis Medicated Skin Treatment works two ways: (1) it helps to break down the "Cement" that holds the crusty scales together in order to remove the scales and then (2) it penetrates the skin to help treat the irritation.

Customer Reviews

Great for acne too!!
Acne sufferers listen up... Although this product is for psoriasis and does not mention using it for acne, the active ingredient is salicylic acid which is also the active ingredient in many, many overpriced OTC acne medications. What is great about this Dermarest product is that it has 3% salicylic acid - most acne medications only have 2%!! If your skin can tolerate salicylic acid alright, I would definitely give this product a try for acne. It will dry your skin out somewhat, but the product has other ingredients in it that seem to counteract the dryness. Also, I found it not to be irritating. Another big plus about this product is that one gets a lot of product (4oz) for a fairly cheap price. Most other salicylic acid acne medications come in tiny tubes and cost a heck of a lot more. This one will last you a long time.

If your skin does get overly dry from using this, another Dermarest product (the Eczema treatment) will help with any itching and dryness. That is actually how I stumbled upon Dermarest products at the local drug store. I developed a horrible, red, peeling, itching rash on my face that continued to persist for several weeks from using an acne product containing benzoyl peroxide. The Dermarest Eczema product really helped with that!!! (Now I stay away from anything containing benzoyl peroxide!)

Oxypor
This product works OK for clearing the Psoriasis scales. Before falling, they turn to a yellowish color.
This stuff works...period.
This stuff cleared my scalp p in only 2 days. I was shocked and really couldn't even believe it myself. I literally stared in the mirror for a good 10 minutes looking at my head. If you're like me, I've spent a ridiculous amount of money trying every over the counter shampoo, lotion, etc. with little to no success and was really frustrated. Dermatologists recommended some heavy duty oral medications that have some major side effects. I almost caved until I found the positive reviews for Oxipor. It was a bit expensive, but I figured what the hell? I've tried coal tar shampoos (T-gel, MG217, etc.) in the past with no success, but only 2 applications of Oxipor before going to bed and my scalp p was completely gone. The most bothersome condition of my scalp p was the embarrassing redness on my scalp, but the redness completely disappeared after only 2 applications of Oxipor and my scalp is back to normal.

The only drawback, aside from the price, is that this "lotion" is actually a liquid. So, you either have to apply it with a cotton ball or use a small spray bottle which I found works the best. A little goes a long way. It can also stain your sheets, so make sure it's completely dry before you go to bed.

Honestly, I only wish I had found this product sooner. It's been over 2 months with a total of 2-3 applications and my scalp psoriasis has not returned! Unfortunately, not everything works for everyone. So, I have no idea if this will have same effect for everyone, but it's the only thing that's cleared up my scalp p. Good luck.
Works!
I've tried to find a similar product in many Rx stores in my area; there's nothing on the shelves but weak diluted creams. Of 3 MDs treating my psoriasis, none recommended a product nearly this effective. For me, a bottle lasts over six months. That's a cheap remedy to embarrassing blotches.
Very Effective Treatment for Scalp Psoriasis
I am a long term sufferer of scalp psoriasis and have found Oxipor to be a very effective treatment. I use a cotton swab or ball to apply it, sleep with it in overnight and shampoo the next morning with a medicated shampoo such as Tegrin. Nothing cures it but this will give you a clean and clear scalp. No, it doesn't smell like roses but it's not that bad. A good product.
This is excellent stuff!
I have used Oxipor for years. It is the best medication I have found for my psoriasis. I have had it so bad at one time, that I went to a doctor that specialized in psoriasis. He was not just a dermatologist. He said I was beyond normal medications, and wanted to put me on a cancer medication that had to be signed for and approved by the insurance company. I'm a nurse and know a little too much and was not willing to go that far, because of the side affects involved. So I used Oxipor, and put it on daily (when it's bad), and go to the tanning bed (periodically), and tan for only 10 min. Oxipor is sun sensitive, so it burns off the scaly areas, but not in a bad way. Eventually, your skin gets used to it. You may have to start with 5 min at first. I do this every so often to keep the scales gone, and it works. It's the only medication that works for me. No other prescription Rx works better than this, and believe me, I've tried them! Most of the time, I'm scale free, unless I slack off.

Customer Reviews

Outstanding product!
I echo the glowing reviews that appear on this site. Over the years, I have spent untold dollars on specialty creams and potions with varying results; however, none have surpassed the results I've experienced with regular use(twice daily, for almost six months )of the Organic Argan Oil. Fine lines have disappeared around my eyes and mouth; my skin is more supple and soft without that "over-moisturized" feeling that some of the heavier creams can produce. For those who are sensitive to perfumes, there is no discernible fragrance to this product. The oil is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no shine. Make-up can be easily and evenly applied right after using the oil. I have been so impressed with the results that I have started to use the oil on my nails (it quickly conditions nails which have been dried out or damaged by polishes) and on my hair (I color my hair, so dryness has been a concern -- a few drops of argan oil lightly worked through the hair keeps it in shiny condition -- it also tames the "frizzies".) In fact, this oil is a true bargain when you consider the number of other beauty products you can do without. I gave a bottle of argan oil to my good friend who had been complaining about dry skin despite trying different moisturizers. Now she's a great fan, as well. Try it with confidence -- it's an outstanding product.Organic Argan Oil
If you have skin problems this is a must!
This is a miracle product for eczema and other skin irritations. This oil stops the itch and irritation on contact. I've used about 20 different products for eczema (some given only by prescription), but none are as effective as this.

However, one should beware of the other Argan oils sold on this site. I purchased another brand and it seemed to be a watered down version of this Organic Aragan Oil and didn't work at all.
happy customer
I received my bottle of Argan Oil within three days of placing my order. The package was very attractive and the product is awesome. It was everything I expected and the customer service at Argan Oils,LLC. was the best. They responded to my email immediately and was happy to know that I received my product in a timely manner and was quite satisfied all around. I will continue to deal with this company and will order from them again! I am a happy customer!
Fabulous oil
I have been using this product for approximately 4 months. At bedtime I mix it with several drops of Hyaluronic Acid serum from Swanson Vitamins and apply it to my face, lips and neck. The serum helps make the oil easier to smooth over my face and neck. I also use it on my hands, nails, hair and scalp. Am seeing great results. My skin seems to glow from within, eye area is smooth and less puffy then when I use eye gels/creams, nails are not as dry and brittle and I have also noticed that my make-up last all day with minimal meltdown (less touch-ups) even in the heat of Miami! The bottle contains 30 ml or a little over 1 fl oz and dispenses the oil by pump so there is zero waste of precious oil. Love this oil, and plan to continue using it as long as it is available.
Great moisturizer
I had a terrific experience reading about this company and buying their argan oil. They very promptly shipped the product and packaged it well. I use the oil on my face as a nighttime moisturizer and on my baby fine hair. It moisturizes without clogging my pores and also absorbs really well in my hair. I am definitely reordering.

Very good
This product is better then the many, costly, prescriptions I had for the same ailment.
Great product for treating mild cases of psoriasis
I have used this product before and highly recommend it for mild cases of psoriasis. I couldn't find it in any local pharmacy, so went to Amazon where it was available, of course. Unfortunately, shipping fees added to the cost significantly, but at least I got the product I knew I could count on to treat my condition.
Very Good. Helps a lot!
I bough this for my mom and she is very happy with it. Of course it does not cure Psoriasis, because this condition comes from the inside out, but it really relives the symptoms of itchiness, sore, and everything else. The best part of this product is that most Psoriasis medications are for the skin and this one is specific for the scalp and the symptoms in this area.


Psoriasis Drug, Stelara, Gets FDA Approval, Skin Care Treatment

The psoriasis drug Stelara (ustekinumab) was yesterday given FDA approval for adults with moderate to severe psoriasis.

Stelara, manufactured by Centocor Ortho Biotech Inc., is a monoclonal antibody administered by injection. After the first shot, patients get another shot after four weeks, then a shot every 12 weeks. Stelara treats psoriasis by blocking the action of two proteins that contribute to the overproduction of skin cells and inflammation.

Plaque psoriasis is an immune system disease that affects about 6 million people in the United States.Psoriasis affects the life cycle of skin cells, causing cells to develop rapidly to the surface of the skin, forming thick silvery scales and itchy, dry, red spots that are sometimes painful.

Psoriasis is a persistent, long-term (chronic) disease. For some people, psoriasis is a nuisance. For others it is debilitating, especially when associated with arthritis....
