If
you have been recently diagnosed with psoriasis, your dermatologist will go
over all the ins and outs of proper skincare for treating psoriasis.
Two
of the most important topics for treating psoriasis, will be about moisturizing
and bathing. Bathing can be a great way to deal with the pain and aching
psoriasis can cause.
When
treating psoriasis, your doctor will strongly advise against taking long baths
or showers and tell you to avoid hot water. All bathing should take place as
quick as possible and in lukewarm water.
When
treating psoriasis, you may not need to shower or bathe on a daily basis and
doing so can actually be more harmful to the skin by drying it out.
Once
you have finished with the shower or bath, pat yourself dry and make sure to moisturize
the skin thoroughly afterwards to keep in the moisture.
Too
many showers or baths can dry out the skin considerable if proper care is not
taking right afterward. Dry skin is the
worst nightmare for someone who suffers from psoriasis because dry skin equals
itchy skin. Itchy skin leads to another flare-up.
Doctors
will tell you short showers and baths are acceptable for treating psoriasis.
Taking a shower can help aid in alleviating the symptoms of psoriasis and can
give the body much of the moisture it needs.
However,
it is necessary to capture and lock in that moisture by applying skin creams
and lotions.
When
drying off, avoid quick rubbing motions that you may be used to. Instead, pat
yourself dry and gently remove the excess water from your body.
You
don’t have to be completely dry to moisturize, the little bit of water needs to
be there in order to keep the skin hydrated. Immediately after toweling off,
apply the lotion so the access water doesn’t evaporate.
It
may help to add some oils into the bath like olive oil, mineral oil, or
vegetable oil. All these oils will help soothe the skin and fight of
inflammation. Adding in some Epson salt will help relieve some of the symptoms
as well, and help keep those dry, patchy spots at bay.
Baths
or showers can help keep the skin moisturized and relieve some of the pain
psoriasis causes. When treating psoriasis, just remember to limit the amount of
time spend in showers or baths and keep the water lukewarm.

sufferer, who authors the The Psoriasis
Free For Life program.
In Psoriasis Free for Life, Katy Wilson offers a
comprehensive guide to completely eliminating psoriasis.
Early on in her battle against
psoriasis she understood that the best remedy was helping the defenses of the
body’s immune system, as opposed to masking the physicality.
As such her work further shines the
light on the problem within Western medicine, where doctors are trained to
focus on drugs, as opposed to getting to the root of the problem. Click HERE to find
