I have psoriasis
Severe psoriasis. Last year at this time I was covered with sores and scales.
There is no cure for psoriasis.
Psoriasis cripples people.
About 3 years ago I was an invincible 36 year old American male. Not without my problems, but certainly with nothing to fear.
Then one day, these things like flea-bites appeared on my legs. I thought it was just a rash.
Then these lumps started up on my scalp.
In about 6 months time I went from a guy who was often complimented by his girlfriends for his enviable clear skin (I never had zitz in high school), to a guy who was covered with these terribly uncomfortable and unsightly sores and scales. It was hell. Worse than the physiological discomfort, was the psychological trauma..
When you have psoriasis, you will go to enormous lengths to conceal it. It's bad enough that it is personally painful, but you have to live with not wanting to disgust other people with the sight of your affliction. So you hide.
And who wants to hold a body covered with scales? If you are lucky, you don't have it on your face or hands and you can cover it up. But what happens if you meet someone and....
It isn't easy to stand naked before people when you have psoriasis (let alone when before you had you it you were a proud and cocky bastard like I am).
It was hell. But, thanks to modern medicine and great insurance I pay only $25 for a drug with a cash price of $375 for a 30 day supply of stuff that keeps me clear like when I grew up. But if I stop taking it, my constant companion comes back. It's like being crippled.
I may not be able to see the psoriasis right now, but it is there. It's always there. There is no cure.
The only thing good I can say about psoriasis is that it will put you in touch with your vanity. One day you are carefree and so very beautiful. The next day.....
Don't ever take your life for granted. Don't ever take your value for granted. I am lucky to have an incurable skin disease. I could have a cancer that is killing me.
peace to all,

Really riff, I would do a test with oregano oil. I'd also do a test with the oil that you can press from apricot seeds. I haven't seen the blemish that the apricot oil can't deal with.
