Hi Melody,

I also have psoriatic arthritis and skin psoriasis.
My skin psoriasis is very limited, so far, to my elbow and a couple of nails.
I am very lucky, I know.

Many people with moderate to severe skin psoriasis (Ps) are reporting amazing results with a 1:1 mixture of (liquid) glycerin and alcohol-free witch hazel. They mix this solution, place it in a spray bottle and spray it on 3-4 times a day. This is the most popular CAM approach right now. Many excellent testimonials to this approach.

Others are doing a similar mixture with raw apple cider vinegar and glycerin at the same 1:1 mix.

Some are very happy with the skin healing they are getting from applying coconut oil directly to the Ps lesions.

Many swear by a paleo diet.

Many meds used for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) tend to aggravate the skin Ps.
These can include NSAIDs, Plaquenil and others.

I have not been around NeuroTalk for awhile, so I don't know what Alan has tried. The remedies I have mentioned above are some of the newest and "greatest" natural approaches within a large international group of people living with Ps and PsA.

There is a new med people like. it is not a "biologic" type, it is called Otezla.
Many swear it clears up their skin well.

I hope I have mentioned something helpful.

To Our Healing,
DejaVu
