Dear Dr. Prasad,I t is a privilege to be able to reach a Super Specialist like you and I thank ChatDoctor  for it.We have a 3 generation history of PSORISIS. My grandfather had it mildly all over, my father, very severe and in big patches on his lower legs, arms, trunk and face apart from the scalp. He used to scratch till blood oozed out.I had Psorises, all over me suddenly in span of a couple of months, starting from a small patch on the outside of the elbow. We used a emuslion made from COCONUT SHELLS, I dont remember about it. It used to flareup every 2 or 3 years an random season. Never took any medication, but applied plenty of White Grease, and a solution of Solid Tar (The ONE USED for making Roads in the seventies with BENZENE.My father prohibited me from touching any patch.I used to clench my fist so tight that my nails dug into the palms and only applied the above medications. I ensured that I never have upset stomach--loose motion or constipation, drink 2 or3 liters of water, plenty of liver in diet apart from fish and chicken, and curd. Consequently in time, the itchy sensation  subsided and I came at peace with myself.The flaring up of Psorises was random and not linked with any season, The quoting of grease made summers difficult as I had a field job travelling 20 days plus, in a month. Exposure to sun and dust worsened the situation.Then in earsy ninetees Psorises took pity on me, or let us say I learnt to live with it and round then I came in touch with a Homeopath. He gave me PSORANIUM 200 for six months 4 times a day, and NUX VOMICA30 for one month every night initially in tandom. Then came MEZROL in 100,000 Potency, 4 timesa day, for about 6 months and weekly since then,No trace of Psorises now,except on my hairline on theforehead and at the back of my ears at the back. But that goes when I put MALAI from milk. MY BP remails, with odd exceptions as 120/80, Fasting Glucose at about 80/90, Chlostrol at about 150, homoglobin at about 14/16, and pulse at about 70 normally except when it slows down to about 60 after 15 minutes of Meditation and remains so for ablut 3 or 4 hours after it. HOW, IF AT ALL CAN I GET A CLEAR FOREHEAD AND STOP HAIR LOSS. LOSING ABOUT 12/20 EVERYDAY.Would be most obliged if you suggest some treatment. I havenot taken any allopatChatDoctoredicine for about 30 or 35 years, and feel I am allergic to Anti boitics. I AM 70 YEARS, 70 INCHES, 70 KG AND CLIMB UP 80 STEPS ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES EVERY DAY, AVOIDING LIFT AND DETEST WALKING ALL MY LIFE. THE STEPS I HAVE STARTED CLIMBING ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO WHEN I SHIFTED TO THIS 4TH FLOOR FLAT.With this, I rest my case and await your judgement.Regards.AK. SHRIVASTAVA YYYY@YYYY
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor Psoriasis has a chronic remitting and relapsing course. It may involve only isolated areas like scalp, palms, soles, elbow, knee etc. Or may spread to involve vast segments of the body. Psoriasis is a steroids responsive skin condition. Topical steroids are first line treatments in limited involvement with psoriasis. As your disease has largely remained localized to a limited area on your hairline at the forehead and behind the ear, therefore, I would suggest you to use a topical steroid lotion with or without salicylic acid, twice daily at the scalp skin. You may was the scalp with a coal tar and salicylic acid based shampoo, daily or every alternate days. These together would be good enough for your localized psoriasis. Topical steroid lotions and coal tar based shampoos are prescription products, therefore, I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for a review of your skin condition and appropriate prescription.
