 | Psoriasis Treatment? |

Question: I have had a problem with psoriasis for 5 years. It is located on the base & sides of my nose and above my upper lip. I had been using my sister's corticosteriod medication, but that is no longer an option.My main problem is the redness in this area; scaling is minimal and it doesn't itch.I have tried vaseline, lotion, and a tar substance. The vaseline and lotion have minimal effect if any. And I have experimented with tar a couple times; each time my facial psoriasis is redder and sore. Does this mean it is working? Not working?Is there a non-prescription treatment for my psoriasis, especially to get rid of the redness?
Answer: If the rash is around the nose and upper lip.,... It looks like seborrhoeic dermatitis and not psoriasis. Just do a web search for seborrhoeic dermatitis and see the pics. Does your rash look like that. If yes just apply nizoral shampoo to wash that area everyday. It will decrease. If it doesnt .... meet the dermatologist
