[split] From "Something new I'm trying"

I suffered from psoriasis for about 3 years before I was able to visit the doctor to find out what it was. He gave me a skin cream that was one of those used for minor skin irritations that has steroids in it. it did not even phase it, so for the past 4 since then I have been searching for something to use. About 5 months ago I had a really bad flare up, and my skin hurt so bad I could not sleep. I cried for three days because my skin hurt so bad and nothing would help. I gained about 70 pounds in the last 7 years since I started having this skin problem and nothing was working.

I went crying to my mom. A 30 year old does not like to say that. She looked and looked and then remembered someone in her office at work had a blue gel or blue bottle or something is what she told me that helped with his skin condition. Then she went looking at the store.

She brought home Blue star ointment and I took a really hot bath that night and got rid of as many of the scales as I could, and applied the blue star to my abdomen and my lower areas where I was hurting. Kind of an all or nothing thing. The next day my skin was still irritated mildly. The second day it didn't hurt at all. it was stil red for a few weeks after and Within two months you could only see the lines of where the psoriasis had been. Now five months later I can barely tell I have it. My psoriasis was covering 1/3 to 1/2 of my body and now i can barely tell it is there. I would have written a whole lot more about this and I will take time to answer any questions you have about my psoriasis but I am at the library and it is closing.

Bluestar can be found at wal-mart or walgreens and all you need is bluestar and to not use any lye soaps. like the oil of olay cocoabutter soaps work excellent.

I hope this helps you.

Hello Beka, I have moved this post from Hanna's Something new I'm trying thread as I don't think it was in keeping with the subject, and given it it's own thread here.

Also Hanna is expecting a baby any day now and Bluestar should never be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; the hazards of camphor for a pregnant or breast-feeding woman are unknown. Active Ingredients: Camphor (1.24%)Inactive Ingredients: Benzoic Acid, Lanolin Oil, Methyl Salicylate, Mineral Oil, Paraffin Wax, Petrolatum, Salicylic Acid, Aloe Oil Extract

Any questions let me know.

Fred.

When i contacted bluestar for a friend of mine who began having psoriasis after she got pregnant, they said that it should not effect a person in pregnancy. That it would only effect the child if the ointment were used on the breast prior to breast feeding. That if the breast were a problem area, it was advised to use it after the child was past that stage.

I completely understand the mothers want of not taking chances. I hope that you might be able to try it once your pregnancy is over. It was a really unexpected amazing relief. I am just g;ad that I did find it and am not able to feel more confident and to lose the weight I gained from not being able to be active, because it was just so painful.

I do hope you find some relief Hanna while you are pregnant. Please let me know if it helps one you have had the baby. Perhaps it may help your sister.
