Psoriasis tips so as not to get discouraged
If you suffer from a severe psoriasis, that is to say it covers more than 10% of your body, your treatment whatever it is risks being discouraging, because it risks taking up too much of your daily time, if you are subjected to a local treatment.
You can fight effectively, naturally and… intelligently against this psoriasis by favoring natural solutions. Take action and treat psoriasis by area. You will undoubtedly choose the most embarrassing parts of the body, because they are the most exposed to view. Treatment for psoriasis requires daily or even twice-daily application (as with our Pso Natura Regenerative Complex). Beyond 3 minutes, once or twice a day, the treatment is generally perceived as very restrictive. This is why we suggest treat the body in several stages. For 1 month, choose one area, then another, so that the first results encourage you to continue.
The disappearance of psoriasis will take longer, but also more assured, because the treatment will not be burdensome.
Furthermore, it is important to always maintain morale. Some patients become depressed because of psoriasis. We suggest a series of articles that challenge preconceived ideas and will undoubtedly allow you to better react to issues such as: Psoriasis and discrimination
Psoriasis tips against itching
A psoriasis flare-up usually causes significant itching and irritation. It is obviously advisable to never scratch psoriasis plaques or drops. This disease being autoimmune, the skin then interprets scratching as an additional attack and then activates the overproduction of scales and plaques, thus leading to a worsening of the outbreak.
If you can't avoid scratching, some tips to limit reactions
- Apply a cool compress to the area to soothe the itch and make it “bearable”.
- Scratching with cotton gloves (ideally organic) will prevent the attack from worsening.
- Run the itchy area under water.
- Apply a moisturizer such as Creme Riche moisturizing and anti-itching, several times a day if necessary.
Since itching appears especially during a psoriasis flare-up, it is recommended to immediately treat this flare-up adequately, with appropriate treatment.
For scaly scalp conditions and itching, consider Pso Natura Dermatological Shampoo which helps relieve scalp psoriasis in a few applications, then cleanse the epidermis.
