Hello,
I have only had psoriasis for the last seven years and my first time on a forum.
Just about to start 3rd course of phototherapy. It has been really difficult to manage/control, though consultant is really good. For all those who are perhaps using Dead Sea salt, I thought I would let you know what my consultant had to say. He was involved in extensive research into the affect of Dead Sea salt and the results were it has no effect on psoriasis whatsoever. He also said why pay for sea salt if you believe salt works, just use table salt as cheaper! It appears there is still a lot to learn about psoriasis and a lot of new treatments. I have so far refused to use anything but topical and phototherapy treatments even though I am currently experiencing my worst outbreak yet! However I don't let it stop me doing anything, I even went to work in bare feet, because the psoriasis meant wearing shoes was agony, thank goodness we had a great summer!
Glad to have found you.
