My sister used to have this quite bad on her scalp until i recommended to her to get a shampoo called polytar from boots. Works a treat and shes pretty clear of it now. I'll have a look at that dream cream from lush as well, might be worth a try.

It's more expensive than your regular bar of soap.
Regular warm baths using Simple soap or baby's soap ?

I have eczema, and thought I had asthma, until last week ,when I cut out tomatoes from my diet, this because I had such terrific tummy ache.
Now wheezing and being out of breath gone. Still get itchy with dry skin though.I use Sudocrem, which eases it.

I had to go to the doctors as a child with Urticaria, and it was diagnosed then that tomatoes were the cause, then grew out of it, but seems it has now come back in my old age.

For thelast year and a few months I have regularly been using a launderette for under wear jeans socks shirts towels etc.

Is it possible that the cleaning agent being used is some thing Im allergic to ?

It is quite possible, David. It can be a real problem sorting out what your skin is allergic to. That is not usually psoriasis thuogh, more likely excema, both of them can occur at once. Unscented soaps and washing powders, which of course are the dearer ones, but are best to use.
