Any over the counter creams good for psoriasis?

I'll give you a few suggestions you can try. Not all are just creams but all are over the counter or easy to get.





I am going to try this one since I just heard about it. Soak your elbows in vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a few minutes and then wrap it with a pad soaked in warmed olive oil. I'd suggest doing this in the evenings before bed so it can really soak in. This would make a great nighttime soak.





Also, you can go for lotions that really create a barrier and keep your skin from being exposed to dry conditions etc like Vaseline Intensive Care lotion twice a day. That one really gave me some relief and helped keep my plaques under control the best.





Sunlight or UV rays is touch and go for people but make sure you use sunscreen on the areas of the body that isn't covered in plaques while in the sun or rays since our skin is different than the average skin types out there. You definitely don't want to cure psoriasis to end up with skin cancer!





I have heard of people having success with rubbing vitamin e oil *just take vitamin e capsules, break them, and rub the oil on the plaques* and then bandaging it.





The main thing is to keep the areas moist or protected from drying out. If you do keep the skin moist just be really careful to watch for infection since we get it easier than other people. Let the skin dry but not dry out between applications of different products! I hope that gives you a few things to try so you don't feel at your wits end with it. The main thing you need to know is not one thing is going to work for everyone so try a few different ideas to find what works for YOU. You're never alone so if you need someone to talk to about this to have a shoulder and listen you're welcome to email me any time. Good luck!Any over the counter creams good for psoriasis?
I've never found an OTC cream that worked. Ever.





What DOES work?:


Pine Tar Soap


Sunlight


Gentle exfoliation (don't scrub the affected area)


And one cream I got from the doc, once, years ago. I can't remember what it was called. But it was the ONLY one (in 25 years of treatments) that made any difference.Any over the counter creams good for psoriasis?
These moisturizers should be applied in the direction of hair growth to prevent pimples.:


Eucerin


Vaseline


Aquaphora


Those are all sold OTC at any drug store. You can always ask the pharmacist what he/she recommends. Good luck! :)
