Hi guys! Im suffering psoriasis for 6 yrs now. Im 18 yrs old from philippines. Im a new member of this forum and i would be glad to share to you what am i using.

I've been to many procedures since my psoriasis started. I was so depressed when i knew about this kind of skin problem. I already tried visiting a dermatologist I also tried chinese treatment. And to make the story short, im using a BL cream. I dont take in medicines, im just appling this ointment to affected parts and im happy to say that it disappears. It doesnt cure totally but im contented with the result. Even my friends dont believe that i had this skin problem. My psoriasis now is not obvious though it suddenly appear especially when im stressed but over all its a good thing for this ointment. Ive been using the ointment for 5yrs until now. I suggest you try this also. Maybe it could help.

Hello Krstndnlrsn   to Psoriasis Club.

It's good to hear you have found something that helps, but I don't think it's something many in Europe would go for as it's not regulated or probably even available. Apparently it's not even registered for use in your own country by the Food and Drug Authority, also it's an Anti Fungal cream and although it and you say it works. Psoriasis is not a fungal problem so I remain sceptical myself.

But good luck with it if you feel it's working.

Regards.

Fred.

Welcome! It's good that you've found something that works for you. I'm currently using topicals as well to help treat my psoriasis (mostly just coconut oil) but I wouldn't hesitate to go back on medicines if things worsen. I've read where other people have some success with anti fungal creams, some have success managing with diet alone and the main thing is that we each find what works for us. I do feel that most severe cases usually need to be treated internally, but that's just my own thoughts on it.

Much success and glad you found us.

I agree with Fred . Psoriasis is a autoimmune disease and can only be managed. It can go into remission. It waxes and wanes. Never totally goes away because it is a autoimmune disease. There are many.

I'm not at all familiar with BL cream. I would advise you to stay with a good derm a immune suppression drug will help with psoriasis. From what I undetstand BL cream is an anti fungal cream and whitens skin. This is not what will clear Psoriasis. Speaking from my many years of experience with psoriasis if you truly have Psoriasis BL cream will not help. It may stop the itch it is only for fungal skin disorders. Psoriasis is described as a autoimmune disease. See below definition.

QUOTE [Autoimmune diseases arise from an abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body (autoimmunity). This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).

The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication that decreases the immune response.

A large number of autoimmune diseases are recognized. A major understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases has been the application of genome wide association scans that have identified a striking degree of genetic sharing in families.]
