I’ve had this since i was 8 or 9, back then on elbows. I had no idea what it was & kids in class would say “your elbow disease is so GROSS”

We had a very hippy-dippy doctor back then who told me to take flax oil. That was so hard to find back in the 70’s!! but i took it & it mostly went away until I was 22 & just out of college. I got it in my ears then & they would peel & seep fluid & bleed. At one point i just bandaged the bad one up. Bring on the Vincent van Gogh jokes. I was working in theater at the time & people would sing the “starry, starry night” song when I came by. That’s when I got a diagnosis of “maybe it’s eczema, maybe psoriasis…” I started using Elocon and had fabulous results.

Fast forward to my toxic life working in fashion in NYC. Psoriasis raging – elbows, hands, ears, eyelids, asscrack & armpits, basically anyplace sensitive. Prescription meds are not working for me anymore. Here’s what helps:

Accupuncture & tcm cleared it up very very well, but i cannot afford to do that for ongoing treatment

Dead sea salt, ocean water, sunbathing (including fake ‘n bake in a tanning bed), aromatherapy (sea buckthorn oil, helicrysum in rose hip oil, angelica seed oil). Then it got bad again in january & with stress so my homeopath practicioner said “try lanolin, it’s an animal product, therefore your skin will accept it faster than plant products like shea butter or coconut”

AH HA – This is the secret, the deal, the shit that works!! Ta Dah! TRY THIS!! After the cracks healed & the flakes stopped I was able to see results from prescription cream again too. So def have broken a plateau.

Now…need to stop drinking booze & see if that is the next step…but not tonite, lol, it’s friday
