Lotions and creams are no substitute for the treatment your health care provider recommends for treating your psoriasis, but they are an easy way to combat some of the symptoms associated with the disease, like itching and flaking.
Not all lotions are created equal, however. Many contain chemicals, fragrances and dyes that could irritate your skin, so please choose wisely. Essential oils, for example, which scent many face and body products – even those formulated for sensitive skin – can irritate some people's skin.
The National Psoriasis Foundation Seal of Recognition highlights products that are meant to be safe and non-irritating. No one deserves to suffer the itch and burn of skin impacted by psoriasis.
Remember: What works for some people may not work for everyone. Always consult with your health care provider to find a product that works for you. You can learn more about maintaining healthy skin with our free Skin Care E-Kit.
