It's a good thing you live in the 21st century, when psoriasis treatment options are plenty and effective. In the 19th century, psoriasis remedies included ingredients such as cat and dog feces, goose oil, onions with sea salt and urine, and toxic substances such as nitrate, sulphur, and mercury. These were not very effective solutions, and in fact, were harmful because of the toxic ingredients.
Today, there are many treatment options available for psoriasis. Topical medications, systemic treatment, and light therapy are all effective at improving psoriasis symptoms.
Science has come a long way since the old days of using toxins to treat psoriasis. Now there are many treatments that will not only help improve symptoms, but can clear psoriasis lesions. You don't have to settle for less than satisfactory results. If you feel you are not seeing the treatment results you want, use the treatment check-up tool to see if it's time to visit your doctor about your psoriasis treatment and treatment expectations.
