Psoriasis is one of the most embarrassing diseases. Those fingers, toes and other body parts aren't generally welcome in public when nasty-looking skin irritations are hanging around. I've known certain people who were afraid to wear certain clothes based on the scales and hard skin that psoriasis results in (and shows off).

What to do? Topical treatments like Tinactin and other anti-fungal medications are used by athlete's foot sufferers, but these products do little to alleviate psoriasis problems, which sometimes have to be dealt with internally.

Enbrel, a psoriasis drug that triggers immune responses to dampens inflammatory issues, is a drug I've not researched but looks interesting. Does Enbrel wear off over time of have side effects like most other prescription drugs? A large-scale clinical trial looked at questions like this and provide some answers, some of which are listed here.

I read in my local newspaper that Vik's vaporub (is that the name of it?) works wonders for psoriasis. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I've bought some to try. I hope it works; it's a lot easier than taking medication.

Someone else told me that you can use coconut oil, a banana peel, or direct sunlight, but I'm not sure about any of those either.

For years I have tested so many techniques to help my Psoriasis, and some things have helped more than others. Some things I have done have worked very well. Many other people have different stories on what helped them the most. For more details visit http://www.mypsoriasistreatment.com/
