A link between psoriasis and allergies?
Question by ? ? ???: A link between psoriasis and allergies?
I have pretty bad allergies, and I get white dry patches on my head. I’ve tried dandruff shampoo thinking it was dandruff & it didn`t help. I’ve read somewhere that there is a link between allergies and psoriasis. Is this true? Is it treatable? What kind of treatments are available besides the creams? I hate putting the creams on my scalp because they make my hair oily.

I treat my scalp psoriasis with herbal remedies from serenaskin.com. I used ointment (greasy) and spray on my scalp and now take anti-psoriasis extract to prevent future flare-ups. This stuff works for me nicely. If you do not want to put ointment you might want to try just spray, I guess. I would recommend trying out this remedies.

Hi
The link between them is the immune system and the ways that it sometimes under-reacts or overreacts.
One of the reasons psoriasis gets worse during the winter may be its connection with Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D has important connections to immunity and protecting us from autoimmune diseases.
Many people who find that their condition gets better when they spend plenty of time in the sun get relief in the winter by going to a tanning salon and using the UVB booth.
Others have found other ways to get UVB treatment at home without prescription such as buying UVB lights meant for reptiles kept as pets. Since you might have psoriasis on a small area on your head, that might be a particularly good solution for you. The UVB lights for pets apparently are not as strong as the prescription type, but use caution and look into the proper dosage. You don’t want to burn.
The Vitamin D Council is a good site to find out more about how much Vitamin D to take internally during the parts of the year when you don’t get enough sunshine. They will also provide information about how to be properly tested to see whether you’re Vitamin D deficient.
The combination of salt water and UVB (simulated beach!) seems to work especially well for some. Regular cooking salt or epsom salts can be effective when dissolved in a tub full of water.
Finally, while researching gallbladder and liver problems I came across studies that found that taking bile salts to aid digestion can help psoriasis. That would make sense from the standpoint that a diseased or sluggish liver can often manifest itself in various skin conditions and allergies.
I hope that helps some!
Good luck!
