Psoriasis Types

Anyone have a baby suffering from psoriasis?

My husband has psoriasis and has a family history of it. I recently noticed several patches on my baby (on her legs, back and arms) of what looks like psoriasis. My baby is 4.5 months and of course I hope it's not psoriasis. I'm slathering on the lotion and will soon take her to the pediatrician to check it out. I just wondered if anyone had a baby young people with mild psoriasis, and if so, what types of remedies (natural and medical) did you use to treat it? Thank you!

ok there are many myths about psoriasis. Your best option is to check with the pediatrician .. and if it is psoriasis get a referral to a dermatologist. GPs and pediatricians do not know enough to treat psoriasis. There are tons of new discoveries about it and things are no better. (Hanging out the sun is not a cure for psoriasis!) Many things that work for one person will not work for another, especially in young children. Your best bet is to get a quick diagnosis and get it under control because the sooner you do, the less likely it is to be serious and painful. I would not say "natural" remedies .. or remedies until my child went to a dermatologist as many "old wives' tales" has been shown to exacerbate or cause other problems. This is your child and your husband, he has, he knows how this can be horrible. Do what you can and fast to get this under control. If your pediatrician does not seem convincing .. 100% then get a second opinion that many doctors misdiagnosis of psoriasis in children. also .. not be 100% sure that is what it is yet .. Like all babies may have dry skin and its less flaky, you can not be sure it's psoriasis. If it is flaky, you should really stop using the lotion and bring a doctor because lotion is generally not recommended for psoriasis. There is something called cetaphil moisturizer that is recommended by the National Psoriasis Foundation, which works like a lotion and you can get it at any store. it is safe for children the last I verified. Good luck and I'll send your way goodwill in the hope that the psoriasis, it is NOT!
