psoriasis is an autoimmune condition and over the past 10-15 years. we have discovered the exact pathway that's gone awry and so there are new treatments that we have for it that can target various points along that pathway and these are called biologics and they are prescription based medicines. in psoriasis there is no diet or supplement that has been shown consistently to help treat the psoriasis. so there is nothing out there that you can really do. but psoriasis being an autoimmune condition tends to also be made worse by stress. so managing your stress can help. it won't cure the psoriasis but it can help you have better control over it. other products we use are just moisturizers and even just occlusion. so just having something cover the area and add water in and maybe even a little bit of sunlight along with that can help suppress the psoriasis in that area but it isn't a cure. so what the sunlight does that helps the psoriasis is that it suppresses the immune system in the skin and that's what turns it off. but in the winter it tends to come back and of course you have to be careful not to get too much sun and a sunburn because then you end up with other problems that can be much worse.
