Dietary supplements indicated for psoriasis

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Any connection between high triglycerides and psoriasis? I've dealt with psoriasis since high school; don't know how long my triglycerides have been high as I sort of avoided seeing a doctor other than for injuries for the past 20 years. 44 years old, 6'1", 220 pounds, no other health concerns.

Condition analysis:
Psoriasis is no longer considerated a skin disease but a systemic one. It has been recognized the association of psoriasis, especially the most severe forms, with several diseases that share a common pathogenic inflammatory substrate (TNF-α ).In patients with severe psoriasis there is an increased prevalence of obesity, dyslipemia ( high Cholesterol and high trglycerides), adult diabetes mellitus, fatty liver. Also Psoriatic patients may have abdominal obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance with or without glucose intolerance.
You must visit a Doctor.

Instructions:
1. Dietary supplements
Dietary supplements may help ease psoriasis symptoms from the inside. Fish oil, vitamin D, milk thistle, aloe vera, Oregon grape, and evening primrose oil have been reported to help ease mild symptoms of psoriasis, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation. It's important to only take supplements that don’t interfere with other pre-existing conditions you may have.

2. Prevent dry skin
Use a humidifier to keep the air in your home or office moist. It can prevent dry skin before it starts. Sensitive skin moisturizers are also great at keeping your skin supple and from forming plaques.

3. Avoid fragrances
Most soaps and perfumes have dyes and other chemicals in them that may irritate your skin. Sure, they can make you smell great but they also can inflame psoriasis. Avoid such products when you can, or choose those with "sensitive skin" labels.
