I had another post on this forum where I said baking soda will cure your psoriasis. I may have been a little bold and arrogant, but it did greatly reduce my psoriasis. If I were to take before and after pictures, I would say that my psoriasis got significantly better.
Now I believe I have found something that works even better than baking soda: --- Eucalyptus oil. With baking soda, it took a looong time to work. It tooks months of consistant application. And it would cause the application area to sweat profusely, and it would smell funky.
But with Eucalyptus oil, all you have to do is apply it strait to your skin undiluted (you can also use a carrier oil), and it's alot less messy than baking soda (if you apply it undiluted). A possible downside depending on how you look at it, you would now smell like eucalyptus oil.
I've been seeing way faster results with Eucalyptus oil than I did with baking soda, so Eucalyptus oil is the clear winner for me: No sweaty skin, less applications, faster results, smells ok.
With both baking soda, and Eucalyptus Oil, there is some minor discomfort involved. With baking soda, the salt in it would cause stinging to the raw red skin.
With Eucalyptus oil, the eucalyptol (I think) causes a super cooling sensation similar to menthol. So the super cooling sensation does sting, but it's less painful than baking soda.
I don't have red raw skin anymore because of the baking soda treatment, so I can imagine that Eucalyptus oil would be even worse for red raw skin. So... if you can take it strait, I would try to do that, but if not, you can mix it into a carrier oil, or you can add drops of oil to water bottle, and some water to it, swirl it around, and pour it on the affected area.
With both baking soda and Eucalyptus oil, it gets a little worse before it gets better. After applying these treatments, your skin will get a little more red and a little more sensitive, but after a few days, it gets better.
How to buy:
You can get a 1 oz bottle for $5 on amazon (including shipping) to try it out.
If you buy larger than the 1oz bottle, I can't guarantee that there will be a convenient built in euro dropper cap. I think 2oz should have a euro dropper cap, and I think I read that 4oz and larger doesnt have a euro dropper cap.
I bought the 1oz bottle from amazon just to try it, but if I buy it again I will buy it from bulkapothecary.com. They have good prices and don't gouge you on shipping if you order a few small things. If you live in the US I would definitely use them. If you live in Canada, newdirectionsaromatics.com might be cheaper.
They offer 4 different kinds of Eucalyptus oil. Whatever you do, don't pick Eucalyptus lemon oil, because it's like 75% citronellal instead of 70% - 87% eucalyptol like the other three.
If you order from bulkapothecary, your going to either get a dropper bottle with a built in dropper (my preferred way) or you can get a small dropper. I got one at my community college store for super cheap.
Or you could get a glass roll on bottle from some health food stores like whole foods, or at dollar stores if they carry them.
Another essential oil worth considering is camphor oil if you have an itchy scalp is camphor. It's stupid cheap from bulkapothecary. It may work for you, or it may not. No guarantees
