Hello all, I've now suffered psoriasis for around twenty years and have managed to get it down to lower legs and elbows. I now work in sunny Catalonia as a gardener and am still waiting for the sun and vitamin d to do their job and make the psoriasis go away but after fifteen years still no luck.
I've tried many things both prescribed, and natural remedies and up until now the only attempt with any success has been bath, Wrights coal tar soap, scrubbing brush followed by a moisturiser. Unfortunately I now live in a small house with a bath made for Hobbits so it's back to the drawing board.
Hoping to find some new ideas but more importantly just hear how others are coping with the day to day, glad to have found you

Hello David to Psoriasis Club.

Catalonia, love it. Had a great holiday there once at Tossa de Mar, and can recommend a visit to the Dali Museum at Figueres.

Teeeeeeeeeeeeeny Weeeeeeeeeeeeeny Bath's, they have them here in France too! not even big enough to bath your dog in.

Have a good look around the forum and just dive on in, you will find us a small but friendly bunch.

Regards.

Fred.

Freeed,
Those Teeeny Weeeeny bath's are called "bidet's", there are not meant to wash your dog in it….


Hello David,

Welcome to the forum !
I do not know Catalonia, but I guess there is a lot of sun over there. I have recently been in Barcelona. Enjoyed it very much.

This forum is full of information and experiences of people on many different forms of medication.
We all have our preferences, on what we found that works for ourselves, maybe there is something in between that will also work for you.

Ask, post, and someone will answer.

No not a Bidet I know they are for washing your feet.

Catalonia is a department or county and I think Barcelona is in Catalonia, so you have been there. Hide up your chickens David.

I honestly don't understand why the girls always believe that we males really don't know that the bidet is merely a footbath with a fancy French name. And as for our two surly old hens, Caroline can have them as they've given up laying eggs and are now enjoying their retirement.

Come on.... Get lost with your footbath

Hi and David. I hope you get some good advice for your psoriasis on the forum. It's well worth trawling through old posts, there is a treatment to suit most of us and reading other peoples experiences here may give you ideas to suggest to your dermatologist.
It sounds painful using a scrubbing brush on you skin, I think it' may be a blessing in disguise that you don't have a large bidet to bath in

well in reality it was a nail brush smeared with the soap, and I used it to scrub off the plaque from my thighs. The result was sore red skin followed by itching sent from hell for the next day or so, but it did work as I have only had spots appearing every winter on the same place. And i'll never need to depilate my thighs
