My daughter had (HAD) psoriatic red patches on her face, thigh, and arm. We tried many methods and of course, the DR did nothing. We did not want to introduce antibiotics only topical. We tried Retin-A and everything else in between. What finally took care of it was one or a combination of the following...
- MG-217 psoriasis(coal tar) multisymptom ointment over the counter at your local Walgreens or CVS,
- Hyaluronic acid beauty cream from Vitamin world,
- NOW brand tea tree oil,
- Uncle Harry's spearmint toothpaste.
What really I believed helped after using the previous for about 1 to 2 weeks alternating was putting Elmer's glue on at night time which starves the area from oxygen. Also, Dog licks can help which my daughter said the dog liked to lick her arm.
Eucerin lotion if it gets too dry or itchy. Use sparingly so it can heal. Any q's please ask. Good vibes.

l read this med study and remember reading about these good remedies for psoriasis in the homeopathic materia medica published in 1927 by two MDs.
Those who dealt with the 12 Chief minerals in the body recommend for psoriasis Kali sulph 3X or 6 X the 3 X or 6X potency. Some added in rotation Kali mur 6X (which they also present for shingles).
l have my clients start with low potency say, 3X or 6X then after two or three weeks move to 12X. If the skin is improving stop if it continues. If there is improvement slows or even reverses then take three days a week MWF prior to sleep.Take under tongue.
In homeopathy lf it gets worse stop. When it subsides take MWF and observe.
I would take cuprum or copper 6X first.
Those whom refuse homeopathy can try colloidal copper. Search Amazon for a good copper. Don't know if l can give a brand here so just read up. Fill a small bottle with a mist pump and used on skin and scalp as well as orally. Follow directions on product label. Three pumps is a dose.
Wonderful for skin makes it appear younger! The appearance of Wrinkles are reduced too.
As to Lycopodium 6X MWF at bedtime every other week.
Lycopodium good for hair and skin. Vary dosages. Don't take too frequently. I just gave a guideline. You can take every three weeks or 4 then stop for a few days. Suggestions. Homeopathics are by nature time releasers then continue to work after you cease for awhile.
A good bath for skin is Epsom salts, magnesium flakes, baking soda and Dead Sea salts, apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup. Follow labels.
ALWAYS shower with a good filter. You can fill your tub with filtered water! The chemicals cause many negative conditions.Use a good anti psoriasis shampoo and conditioner.
