Suggest Remedy For Psoriasis On Palms,left Knee And Right Leg
I am 25, male and have Psoriasis on palms (dry scales) left knee and right leg below the knee. I work in air-conditioned office and it is not possible for me to apply medicines (creams) in the day time.
I have used topical creams, but the patches were not cured. I have read that the body gets used to topical steroids and it doesn’t work in the long run and doesn’t completely cure.
Does homeopathy provide a better solution/cure?
I had read about a drug “Tinefcon” by Piramal Life Sciences claimed to have fewer side effects but the doctors I have consulted were not aware of the same?
What should be the right approach to be taken by an individual like me.

hi, welcome to HCM,
psoriasis has only control, no cure.
it needs both topical as well as oral treatment.
topical steroid develops tachyphylaxis. Tachyphylaxis is a medical term describing an acute (sudden) decrease in the response to a drug after its administration. it is due to continuous use of the drug. steroid in psoriasis should have drug holiday( 3 week on , 1 week off therapy).
start your treatment with tab Methotrexate 7.5 mg weekly.
apply clobetasol+calcipotriol cream twice daily.
apply emollient containing urea+:actic acid, twice daily
Tinefcon is an extract from a plant called Sphaeranthus Indicus.Tinefcon helps to normalise the immune system, meaning the body will no longer suffer from psoriasis symptoms such as swelling & redness. Tinefcon is adjuvent only.
hope this is helpful.
thanks
