Had it when I was a kid of around 8. Used to have Pragmatar applied all over my body, and simultaneously underwent some Homeopathy treatment. The spots then turned black and eventually faded away. I don\'t know whether it was Pragmatar or the Homeopathy medicine that did the trick...

For people in US - There is a National Psoriasis Foundation(6600 SW 92nd Avenue suite300 Portland OR USA 97223-7195, PH:503-244-7404). If you call and request them, they will send you the latest research,medical and cure information. Its pretty useful. It also gives the mental strength that you are not alone fighting with this.
People in India...Can you please tell me - is there any alternative medicine(like homeopathy) that works for Psoriasis? If so, whom should I contact?

Psoriasis is a medical condition that appears when skin cells grow speedily. Faulty signals in the immune system cause new skin cells to form in days not in weeks. The body does not throws away these excess skin cells, so the cells pile up on the surface of the skin and lesions form.
