What do y'all use on your scalp and in your ears? I hate the topical creams because they are usually so greasy.

I have been suffering with scalp and ear psoriasis. I do NOT want to be on strong medications. I've been reading more and more about the dietary links.

How many of you have made drastic dietary changes and experienced relief from P?

Tip of the day: don’t pick a small scale on your ear lobe at work because you will get home to discover a nice bloody ear.

What is the best way to treat psoriasis in your ears? When they are really peeling, scaly, cracking...maybe even bleeding? 😢

If you have raw coconut oil ...it will help relieve your itching ...or organic olive oil will also help ...apple cider vinegar is good for calming down your scalp irritation...watch your sugar intake too...less havoc caused in your liver

Thank you Cheryl, and thank you Susan. I am trying so hard to hang in there. Psoriasis in my ear canal has now caused me to have an infection in both ears and they are plugged! Can't hear at all. It's one thing after another and I feel like all I do is complain but I'm so so tired.
