This is a fairly unique forum as there are no outside interests here just fellow sufferers sharing experiences of psoriasis, with what treatments we are on and how well or not they are working .
You will find so much information on here, if you need to know anything just ask there's usually someone here
Enjoy your time here and join us if you wish in the off topic boards where it's fairly light hearted and I'm the sensible one there keeping order
I look forward to hearing of your experience of psoriasis
Jim
I would say there's lots on here on all the creams that are any use for topical treatment , but it's difficult to advise as it depends on the severity of your psoriasis and then it's trial and error and between you and a dermatologist. If you haven't seen one yet, get your gp to refer you . He will make a judgement of what is the right course of treatment for you.
Most creams are either steroid based, or a vitamin derivative. But they are only available on prescription.
You could try coconut oil that proves very good at soothing the itch and moisturising
Beware of anyone selling you a cure.... They will get rich and you will still have psoriasis
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'm sure others will chip in with good advice
