These methods will not cure psoriasis, but can help reduce symptoms.1 Simple steps such as the use of over-the-counter creams, medicated shampoo, mild soap, avoiding psoriasis triggers, and daily baths using bath oil, colloidal oatmeal, or Epsom salts can be helpful in taking care of psoriasis at home.2
Fast Facts:
