A member asked:

Hello i'm casper. i recently got really bad psoriasis. i've had it a little bit in the past but it's almost all over my body now. have tried nizoral (ketoconazole).

Get serious Rx: Listen, Casper. You're going to need prescription-strength Rx and long-term care by a dermatologist. Home, over-the-counter and "pop" / "natural" remedies will fail. Good luck with this.
