Home Remedies For Psoriasis And Tanning

I have psoriasis on my legs and have seen a dermatologist who prescribed two expensive creams. They help a little but it never goes away. I've been tanning for a short time in a tanning bed every other day and have seen a drastic improvement but Iam a little worried about skin cancer from UVA rays. Any home remedies out there? Any advice?

Exposing the affected areas to sunlight can help ease the psoriasis flare up, but natural sunlight is better for your skin since tanning beds can be too harsh. Try natural remedies as well, like pasteurized creams, bee's wax, and lemon oil. They are really effective and cost less as well.
