Itching All Over Again.

A MyPsoriasisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Port Orange, FL

I've used some different things , prescription creams , itch spray works for a while. And have even taken Visterial for itching. Sometimes it seems to work somewhat and other crimes the itch get a little worse. I haven't been on any biologicals yet hopefully this will be an answer for me. But trying to find something while waiting for the biologicals. What have you found that works well ;!! ??

Itching can be a significant issue for those with psoriasis. Here are some ways to manage the itch:

- Topical Treatments: Dermatologists often prescribe topical corticosteroids or nonsteroidal topicals with ingredients like vitamin A and synthetic vitamin D. Over-the-counter options may also be recommended
- Moisturizers: Show Full Answer

Itching can be a significant issue for those with psoriasis. Here are some ways to manage the itch:

- Topical Treatments: Dermatologists often prescribe topical corticosteroids or nonsteroidal topicals with ingredients like vitamin A and synthetic vitamin D. Over-the-counter options may also be recommended.
- Moisturizers: Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized is crucial. Dry, scaly patches from plaque psoriasis are likely to itch and can crack and bleed, exacerbating flare-ups.
- Skin Care Routine: Maintaining a regular skin care regimen, including moisturizing and gentle exfoliation, can help control itch.
- Avoid Scratching: Scratching can make the patches thicker and lead to infections. It's important to treat the underlying psoriasis rather than giving in to the urge to scratch.

Yes thanks for reminding me about that. I was off to trying other things. Like I got a prescription from my doctor and I think it may have caused more itching instead of stop it. Haha I don't know. But didn't have a side affect with apple cider vinegar. I may need to retry the medication again but am reluctant to. I hope to be on bilogical s soon and hoping to have less symptoms then.
