Does anyone else have psoriasis?

Question: If you do how to you cope with it?

Answers:
My husband has had this for years and he tried everything under the sun from prescription drugs to diet control. But what has kept it under control is -

1. Applying Vaseline or any other petroleum jelly on the affected area
2. Keeping the skin clean, moist and away from direct sun
3. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding too much alcohol
4. Trying to keep a low stress level (which is very difficult - so medittaion might help - he has yet to try this one!)

My wife has it. She uses "Skin-Zinc". It works fairly well.
