Psoriasis is a complex, reoccurring autoimmune disorder characterized by red, flaky patches on the skin. Even though there is no cure, many treatments exist to ease the symptoms. Some aren't far away from your computer screen.
Here are some pictures of psoriasis and seven simple treatments to help quiet its signs.
1. In the Medicine Cabinet
Dietary supplements can help
ease psoriasis symptoms from the inside. Fish oil, vitamin D, milk
thistle, and evening primrose oil have been successful for some. It's
important to only take supplements that do not interfere with other
pre-existing conditions or have harmful side effects. Fish oil applied
directly to the skin has also been known to work well for some.
2. Moisture Everywhere
Use a humidifier to keep the air in your home or office moist. It can prevent dry skin before it starts. Sensitive-skin moisturizers are also great at keeping your skin supple and from forming plaques.
3. No Dyes or Perfumes
Most soaps and perfumes have dyes and fragrances in them. Sure, they can make you smell great but they also can inflame psoriasis. Choose products labeled as "sensitive skin" – these are made without the dyes and perfumes that can irritate skin.

Diet can play a pivotal role
in managing psoriasis. Eliminating red meat and fatty foods have been
effective for some. The National Psoriasis Foundation lists soy, nuts,
chocolate, and cranberries as a few "functional foods" for treatment.

As healthy as olive oil is inside your body, it can have extra benefits for the skin. Applying olive or vegetable oil to scales and patches of psoriasis can lock moisture and nutrients in. Try massaging a few tablespoons on your scalp to help loosen troublesome plaques during your next shower.
6.In the Bathtub
Your dermatologist will tell you hot water is your skin's enemy, but a lukewarm bath with Epsom salt, mineral oil, milk, or olive oil can soothe the itching and infiltrate scales and plaques. Moisturize immediately after your bath for double benefits.

7.Hard Water
Soft water is treated to
only contain sodium, which isn't good for already dry skin. While hard
water might leave more stains on your shower walls, it contains
naturally-occurring minerals that some have found helps their
psoriasis. Water pumped in from your local treatment plant is usually
hard. If you're using a water softener in your home, turning it off
could benefit your skin.
