Gooday Poodles' I have had Psoriasis for long time and other than methotraxate haven't had much luck, I have psoratic arthritis in my left knee which is fairly painful, the methotraxate controls this. I read somewhere that green vegetables help, so I try to eat at least one green vegie a day. I hope you find something that helps, there are a lot of helpful people on here that will help if they can, but sometimes some cures only work for some and not all. Cheers. Dave

Hi Dave, I also have that in my left knee, however the methotrexate doesn't seem to help much, being treated with cortisone also at the moment.   Psoriatic arthritis only affects about one in 10 or 20 people with Psoriasis irrespective of the severity of the psoriasis itself (more or less).   I have tried most lotions and potions and once belonged to a psoriasis group who had tried all sorts of treatments even Deri Sal used on cows teats etc.   As you say what works for one may not work for another.   Sometimes when travelling and not wanting to apply recommended creams (from the skin specialist) I just apply sorbolene, won't cure it but gives some relief from the itch etc.

Good luck with that other cream Poodles, lets know what the Aussie equivalent in dollars is for a jar please, I see it is mooted as an Aboriginal treatment but has to be ordered from Japan, go figure!   Surely there must be an Aussie supplier somewhere in the Health Shop industry? 

Worth a try, thanks for the tip Westcoast......
