Question/Comment:

I had severe psoirasis on my scalp several years ago. I tried meditation ...and..it worked ! Anxiety usually brings it on. Relaxation and destressing techniques are a great help to controlling the condition.

Question/Comment:

I am considering asking for my dermatologist to prescribe Enbrel for treatment of my severe psoriasis. Current treatment with topicals is useful for the face and back, but the condition on my scalp is spreading to my ears, eyebrows and nose.
Does anyone have any experience with Enbrel or anything homeopathic?

Answer/Reply:

I am a 32 year old male and I have tried many treatments. Ive had psoriasis since Ive been 16. The only thing i have found that works is sun, but ofcourse, that can lead to skin cancer. So good luck.

Answer/Reply:

My husband injects Enbrel 50mg once per week as a maintenance program. He has Psoriasis on his feet, hands, elbows, and knees. It has worked miracles, his hands and other parts have cleared up to look like he has no problem at all. The Dr also told him that a tanning bed would help control the psoriasis and ven suggest he move to a state with a warm climate and salt air. But please talk to your Dr it is a good product on market.
