Psoriasis and the band

[jillrenee15 0]

Do any of you out there suffer from psoriasis? I was wondering if yours flared when you were banded and started losing, or if it got better and better as you lost weight?

I had terrible scalp psoriasis in my late teens early-twenties. It all the sudden disappeared after about two years and has been gone for 10 years. I'm getting a little spot on my scalp now that is flaring up, and it is really bothering me. I'm scared to death that it is going to get as bad as it was before.

What are your experiences?

Hello,

I have had Psoriasis for 15 years. It got worse after getting the band. I used to have it really bad however there's two things that I do that keep it in remission. One is I go tanning at least once a week and the second thing that works like a charm is a product called Skin-cap. I get it on the internet. They have all different product.... They have Shampoo also. Hang in there. Psoriasis it very hard to deal with mentally.

I had psoriasis years ago until I found a product that works for me. The main ingredient is Coal Tar. It is basically the sludge on the bottom the the Dead Sea. They have a psoriasis clinic at the Dead Sea. That is in Neutragina TGel, and at beauty supply stores like Sally's, they have 2 shampoos that have it in it. If you live in Texas TGF Good hair has Coal Tar Shampoo. That and a sister salon are the ONLY salons that I know of that sell coal tar. If you go to a salon they will steer you to Tea Tree--that does NOT work. I am a hairstylist and I am so sad the coal tar is not sold in salons. Now this was years ago that I got it so IDK if it is still sold there. Good Luck!!
