I lived in Iceland when I was in elementary school. Definitely a cool country. Lots of volcanic activity and mud pots, never considered any correlation with the Dead Sea, but certainly makes sense that there would be a lot of minerals!
I have not had Psoriasis all my life, so I cannot say much about sea water and clearing, but I do know that when I lived in Panama I tried paddling a cayuco, and ended up with huge blisters (seriously, they were about 3 inches tall, all the way across) on my back from the wooden back "rest". They swelled to over an inch thick. Some of them broke and my back was just a mess of raw yuck. I was in my teens, and not the brightest of people, so when I had the chance to get in some cool water, I dove right in- ocean. I screamed bloody murder for a few moments as it hit the raw flesh, but the sting went away rather quickly, and I stayed in and swam.
My back dried in the sun afterwards. I had no infection, no scabbing, no scarring, just like it never even happened. (not instantly, I was at the beach for a week). It made be a believer in sea water curing stuff.
