A Remedy For Psoriasis - Can Modern Medicine Really Cure Psoriasis?

Has modern medicine found a remedy for psoriasis that actually works

?

That's a question that many have asked in frustration at trying to rid the skin of this horrible condition, including myself!

When I got my first outbreak and had it diagnosed as psoriasis, I was desperate to find a remedy that would cure my condition. The first thing I turned to, like anyone would, is modern science. Surely they would have come up with a remedy for psoriasis in this day and age?

So, what do doctors have in their arsenal for psoriasis?

In the first instance most doctors will prescribe corticosteroid creams, as these are proven to be an effective remedy for psoriasis patches. The problem for me was that due to the large areas of skin affected, I would need a hell of a lot of these creams that would cost a hell of a lot of money.

Another problem with these creams is that prolonged use can cause a thinning of the skin, making it tear easily. I didn't like the idea of being afraid to leave the house without a pack of band aids at the ready!

The second treatment you may be given is phototherapy. This involves exposing the affected areas to UV rays, which has shown to be effective in treating the condition.

While an effective treatment, UV therapy involves visiting a special clinic that has the equipment several times a week. This could be difficult for those who work long hours or live far away from such a clinic.

Is there an easier alternative to phototherapy?

Yes, that big yellow thing in the sky!

Nature got there first with this one. Getting exposure to the rays of the sun is an excellent natural form of phototherapy, and a good natural remedy for psoriasis.

Obviously, heed the usual warnings about over-exposure to the sun. Psoriasis is bad, skin cancer is worse!
