Can I Take Hydrogen Peroxide Baths For Psoriasis?
I have psoraisis on my hands and elbows. I have tried several creams both over the counter and presciption. Nothing seems to work. I am investigating hydrogen perioxide baths, am concerned that H2O2 is unstable, and could be bad my health in general.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
There is no evidence that hydrogen peroxide baths could help in psoriasis. Intact, it could cause dryness and irritation of the skin which could worsen psoriasis.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
