Sometimes for me at least because we are all experiencing The Big P in very different ways...I use a simple Epsom Salts Bath I can spend an hour in the tub..doesn't work for everyone but about 1/2 a cup to my full tub of water and it takes away most of my itching..I was so depressed when I was told I couldn't take biologics and I guess I just had to dig a little deeper and do a process of elimination of certain foods...for me I went straight onto Ketogenic diet and collegen shakes..and one pill and so far(knock on my wooden head) I am doing OK and yes UV rays help a bunch

I tried the ketogenic diet too but only for a few weeks. Since I can’t eat too many eggs, avocados and seeds, or else I end up with digestive issues, it was not for me. I do take ginger capsules for internal inflammation (1200 mg/day) and turmeric, drink a lot of water and rarely consume sugar. My P on my body is never itchy but the P on my scalp always is. I wonder why?!

I go on light therepy in hospital clears it up for afew months about six months then came back on light therepy again

Courtney I'm 54 and HAD psoriasis for 30 years until I tried phototherapy in my local hospital in Limerick. It took about 3 months treatments but nearly all gone except a few places where like back of my ears and top of my shoulder worth looking into

Thanks for your comment, I'll definitely have to give it a try! Not gonna lie I was a bit skeptical about light treatment. Thanks!

Hi Courtney I do feel for you being so young. Ive had it for over 40 yrs it use to be really bad on knee & elbows, but over the years it has virtually disappeared from there to my scalp. I always have a number 1 haircut every few months and get so embarressed when what looks like a ton of dandruff comes falling out. But at least once its short i can apply creams. Talking of light treatment, have you been on many Sunny holidays, a week or 2 in the sun does help.

Im on sunbeds in hospital again maybe this time it will work the p isReally getting me down at the moment the itch is terrible

Thank you all for your helpful comments, for some reason flaym won't let me reply to each of your individual comments but definitely got a lot of points from you guys so thanks again :)
