He's been to countless dermatologists. He's had this condition for YEARS. Nothing they did helped. It was explained to me that his immune system is out of whack and this is excess growth of cells that accumulate and flake off. Behind the ears have disappeared so that's a good thing. He gets some between his eyes, so we gently clean that and I put the soothing balm there.

I forgot to mention however what happened two days ago. He woke up with something on his face. I said "what the heck is that??" I brought him a mirror and he said "oh, that's psoriasis". It was on his face, next to his nose but underneath is eye. I looked at it and I believe that's exactly what it was. I gently cleaned off the scale, lesion, whatever it was and I had an idea.

I said to myself. "I'm italian, we use extra virgin olive oil to moisturize our skin". My skin is great so I said: "well nothing else is working, why not do this".

I found a good facial recipe that said "warm a bit of extra virgin olive oil between the hands and gently apply to affected areas".

I did just this. gave him a whole facial. Did his scalp (he's bald), so it was easy. I then did his whole face, behind his ears, everything.

It was gone the very next day. Smooth as silk. It's still gone.

So just now, I put some extra virgin olive oil on my hands, warmed it, and applied to to Alan's patches.

Hey, if there's a miracle happening tomorrow, you know I'll post it on this thread.

Can't hurt. Might even moisturize and help with the redness.

Will update.
