    I have had Psoriasis for 40 years.
    From my feet to the top of my head.
    The worst places are inside ears and in the corner of the eyes.
    I reckon I`ve used over 50 different creams.
    A lot of people make the mistake of trying to treat the surface ( skin ) first.
    The most significant triggers for myself are :
    Diet
    Lifestyle
    Stress
    Cold weather

    The best treatment is the beach. Sunshine and saltwater.
    I swim everyday up until May and then spend most of the winter in Asia or on a Pacific island.
    All the steroidal creams are good. I use the Advantan Cream once or twice a day.
    I have it under control now am resign to the fact that I will die with it not of it.

    Tips :
    Wear light coloured shirts.
    Keep affected area moist.
    Dont pick at dead skin.
    Be prepared for a long battle.
    Try to stay/live in warmer climate.
    Pay attention to your general health.
    No sugar.
    Less alcohol.
