Hi
Apparently, it's not the salt in the Dead Sea but the sunshine that is doing the job. Any sunny climate will help with the symptoms (according to my consultant).
There are such a lot of products out there claiming to do this or that, it is big business! The only time my psoriasis has been infected was when it was suggested I use aloe vera. Not a good idea for me took several courses of antibiotics to clear the infection. I know we are all different, what works for some does not work for others. I personally stear clear of any products claiming to do this or that for psoriasis. Mine is genetic, thought I was lucky and it had skipped me, then at 45 it started with a vengeance, worse than my mother or brother has ever experienced, I now only use what is prescribed and have to say without epiderm my life would be miserable. I soak in it, wash with it and moisturise with it. Great stuff for me!
Just started phototherapy this week again, good news is I shall have a tan this winter!
