I do not l know - have you tried coal tar? Neutrogena T-Gel is what we use. His ears is are definitely more of a flaky Inverse psoriasis but his scalp would get thicker flakes. Neither were anything like the thick plaques arms and legs can get. For his skin we use a JAK (the bio molecule it...

I agree - we’ve been using a coal tar based shampoo for my son since he was three (he’s 12 now, so almost 10 years) daily to control his psoriasis on his scalp and ears. He has not had another psoriasis outbreak on his scalp or ears in almost 10 years with near daily application of coal tar, so...

I think Brambleberry has a 8% honey recipe tutorial on their site. I’ve been experimenting with honey and beeswax too. I followed IrishLass’s recipe :)

Brambleberry has high oleic canola oil you can buy as small as 1 pound. They also have free shipping till oct 31 for artisan and do t know the next level up (if you have ordered with them before). For Brambleberry - it’s inexpensive. Oh wait - nevermind got soybean and canola oil mixed up.

I’d guess it’s the orange oil - it’s an incredibly powerful degreaser and can be very irritating. There are several natural cleaning products out there that use it. But - next time wipe away and dilute with water sooner! Likely whatever is causing the irritation happened before you could...

I wish I was in CO but please accept a virtual hug instead. Have you looked into physical therapy as an option? Because I live three hours ahead of my work colleagues I scheduled my three times a week physical therapy appts (needed to rehab my ankle) early in the morning on week days and it...

Wow - I never heard of tide. Bleach bath (didn’t make a difference, but it before seem to help people with eczema from what I heard) and coal tar were the first remedies we tried since they are over the counter. Bleach bath ends up being similar to the chlorine in pools, but was still...

Thank you for the advice @Zany_in_CO and @Kiti Williams. I’ve been thinking of maybe trying a regular shampoo for him but a small percentage coal tar kept psoriasis out of his scalp and ears for many years and I don’t want to mess with what works no matter how terrible it smells! Pine tar is...

Random thought - my youngest has used a tar based shampoo since he was three (when he was diagnosed with psoriasis). His shampoo seems incredibly drying and I wonder where it would land in this debate.

yinz, yunz, or you’unz for you all (@Zing to add to your list of ways to say y’all) In Pittsburgh one doesn’t need to [action verb] - [action verb] needs done I need to clean my sink becomes My sink needs cleaned We frequently move for my husband’s work, lol.

I’m trying to picture this and failing badly. Can you give an example, lol?

Yep - I learned these from my grandma too. Davenport was a famous furniture maker in the 1900s and people used to say Davenport to mean couch similar to saying Kleenex to mean a tissue.

You betcha, Casserole of course 😉 Door wall or sliding glass door? Norfolk accents sound heavily southern to me compared to the VA DC suburbs.

Following - I just bought some activated charcoal to use a FO that discolors dark dark brown. Most of the time I can use titanium dioxide for slight discoloration. Once I embraced a warm brown discoloration and pulled some pre-fragrance oil batter aside (that I added titanium dioxide to) to...

@KiwiMoose wrote “When I lived in Kentucky, I asked for a glass of woor-ta (in my Kiwi accent) several times at a noisy bar ( and was not being understood AT ALL) before I finally gave up and said wah-derrrr. I got my water instantly.” This has happened to me in an airplane more times than I...

I had so much speech therapy as a child to pronounce read and spell letter blends correctly. I blame this for enunciating letter blends correctly. You wouldn’t think this would cause so much confusion, but I get blank looks for just enunciating letters correctly. For example, asking for...

I wonder if switching to a high oleic version of canola oil would interfere with the length of time the batter stays liquid? Brambleberry has a high oleic canola oil (unfortunately no information on fatty acids for how high oleic it is) for ~4/lb. I haven’t seen high oleic canola oil anywhere...

Yes, I meant castor oil :) I just fixed it.

@Mobjack Bay Not sure where you posted palm oil plus castor oil accelerating - but I noticed my palm oil batter WITHOUT 5% castor oil behaves much nicer than when I added castor oil. Thanks for mentioning this!

Bramberry’s Queen’s purple went from dark shimmery purple in the pre-pour batter to pale lavender in the mold overnight for me. I didn’t use titanium dioxide. You’re not alone with this result.
