Psoriasis On Scalp And Very Dry Papery Hands From Psoriasis

by Sharon
(Washington, Indiana)

I would just like to be able to wear dark colors but cannot due to an extreme case of scalp psoriasis. Also my hands are so dry and papery.

I have a severe back problem and received cortisone epidurals which give me relief and for some reason, also clear up my psoriasis, but I cannot have them very much because I am diabetic and you know cortisone is not good for me. Anyway, my scalp is so bad I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks, Sharon

Response To Psoriasis On Scalp And Very Dry Papery Hands From Psoriasis

Hello Sharon,
I understand the frustration you feel in having such an extreme case of scalp psoriasis and being limited in the colors of your clothing. And I will also be addressing how to resolve the condition and strength of the skin on your hands. Our hands are some of the most highly used parts of our body and when they hurt....our activities can be greatly hindered!

You mentioned cortisone epidurals but you must know that cortisone and hydrocortisone are in the corticosteroids class of drugs, often used as an anti inflammatory to reduce inflammation and suppression of immune system action. Because of these steroids' adverse side effects, you usually are only permitted to use them for a short time. Side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. It is wise to avoid them as much as possible.
Here are my recommendations for the psoriasis on your scalp followed by what to use to help repair the skin on your hands.

1) At night before bedtime, rub in our DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the parts of your scalp affected and be sure to do this daily. This double strength formula is all natural and penetrates the thicker scales of psoriasis as well as the thicker skin of the scalp deeper and faster and will stop any itching you may be experiencing. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue.
2) Next, wash your hair and scalp with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which is hypo-allergenic and filled with nutrients. These 2 products, together, will unpack dry patches down to the deepest part of the scalp and restore much needed moisture and regain a healthy balance once again. They will also provide anti bacterial protection while working. Once your condition is repaired you need only use the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT to keep your scalp healthy and problem free.

For your dry hands, I would strongly recommend our HAND & BODY THERACREAM to be applied day and night. This cream is hypo-allergenic and filled with rich, wholesome ingredients to penetrate the 7 layers of skin to provide healing "deep down" with complete absorption necessary for the replenishing of much needed vitamins and moisture for proper skin repair.

One of the biggest reasons why the majority of creams on the market today DO NOT absorb into the skin is because they contain mineral oil or other petroleum by products. The fact is that gasoline is made from petroleum and a by product of this process is mineral oil and widely used as a cheap filler! This inert molecule called mineral oil, is too large to even penetrate the much smaller pores of our skin so it just sits there, suffocating our skin and acting just like plastic wrap, not allowing moisture in or out. This is why most creams do not absorb and mineral oil is to be avoided.
Please let me know how you are progressing Sharon.
Warm Regards,
Nanette
