Each day skincare

Not a lot actually, however I take advantage of coconut oil each day. Not in the entire physique, however within the elements the place I’ve or have had psoriasis.

As for what makes it worse ………………………………. I’ve stopped making an attempt to unravel that .

I am afraid I do not maintain my pores and skin as a lot as I ought to … I haven’t got a routine as such, however I do use coconut oil on my legs most days as these are the elements of me that appear to dry out and not using a little bit of moisturizer

I’ve been psoriasis free for round 9 years, however once I had it prior to now, I used to be solely utilizing prescription steroids on the psoriasis patches and I used to be prescribed a dual-based moisturizer that I by no means used. That was earlier than I discovered this discussion board and discovered extra about psoriasis in my first month right here than the remainder of my grownup life.

I take advantage of Aveeno on the driest patches and on my face. I personally do not get together with coconut oil, though it tastes scrumptious

Sure, I discover that my pores and skin all the time will get a bit worse within the fall / winter. I am undecided if it has to do with heating or presumably much less daylight.

Ms. Fred makes use of Aveeno and says it really works effectively for dry pores and skin.

Thanks for the solutions. I’m making an attempt to determine this out and, like Jim, I’ve discovered extra from this discussion board than from my transient go to to the dermatologist. In years previous, a physician famous, “Your pores and skin is dry.” By no means a point out of what to do about it. Only a assertion. I’m not the brightest bulb in a string of lights. I didn’t understand the necessity to maintain my pores and skin, to concentrate to dryness.

Once I do not use any moisturizer, the itchiness appears worse. Some days I take advantage of unrefined coconut oil (which has actually helped my scalp however is uncomfortable to clean off) and different days a Cetaphil cream, which is heavy and appears to assist a bit too. Now, I’m utilizing coconut oil or Cetaphil cream in every single place besides my face and genitals. I take advantage of an over-the-counter cortisone lotion on my face and barely on my genitals. (Why ought to this seem there ?!)

I’ve puzzled in regards to the absorption of those, particularly the chemical substances present in Cetaphil and the way that may negatively have an effect on well being, however patches and itching appear to be a better stage of discomfort than concern about absorbing questionable chemical substances.

I’m utilizing the steroid ointments as sparingly as doable and solely as soon as a day now. Nonetheless, I believe that they contribute, indirectly, to the unfold of patches.

Elements ahhh cetaphil
Cetaphil Cleaner accommodates water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben

What’s not so nice are the three parabens I’ve all the time tried to keep away from

I typically use two completely different moisturizers.
A great dose of Cetraben on my legs each day as they’re the worst for Ps. It’s kind of greasy but it surely retains my legs completely happy all day. Normally.

Most nights I take advantage of Dermol, it absorbs simply, not that greasy, so bedding / nightclothes do not stick.

If I’ve an outbreak, I’ve additionally used Dermol with an excellent, thick software earlier than getting within the bathe as an alternative of cleaning soap so the bathe does not dry out the pores and skin and exacerbate the itchiness.

I am not superb in terms of creaming … I overlook more often than not, however one which I discovered was calming, non-greasy, and absorbs shortly is Gold Bond Final.

I attempt to put some on earlier than mattress to ease the itchiness.
