I have Psoriasis and it's not really fun to have. I don't have huge spots though I do have them. I have to get UV treatment every day at the dermatologist.

I have it on my scalp too. And you're right, if you don't use it for a few days then your head itches like crazy. For me, the Psoriasis on my scalp is the worst.

5. Continue this for minimum of 3 months before deciding that it is not working. Sometime you may even start to get a bit worse, before improving.
I don't know how well following these directions work. About two years ago I pretty much did all of that for weight loss purposes (lost about 80 lbs) and that was when my Psoriasis showed up. I never really had problems with it until I started doing things like the items that you listed.
