I have been fighting psoriasis for 30 years (I'm 36). I have never managed to heal her so that nothing can be seen. I know others can do it. I used various methods. After the last antibiotic treatment, which made my body immune to antibiotics, and as a result I am recovering from some disease to this day, I resigned from visiting my dermatologist. It doesn't do anything anyway. And spreading the skin with lotions and creams is more pleasant and gives the same results. I would like to add that I often catch a cold and I intend to take vaccines to increase the body's immunity. However, I have heard about the treatment with herbs that regulate the internal balance of the body. Can I ask for information on this and other alternative methods? I will not come back to ointments and antibiotics.
Please do not use herbs to treat psoriasis, as you may aggravate your symptoms. Currently, there are many drugs available for the treatment of this disease. In the treatment of psoriasis, external medications are used, e.g. vitamin D3 derivatives, tar. In advanced lesions, PUVA therapy or oral medications (eg Neotigason, cyclosporine) can be recommended. The method of treatment is selected individually after a thorough medical examination.
