The 5 most common symptoms of psoriasis include:

• Rashes or patches of red, inflamed skin, often covered with loose, silver-colored scales; in severe cases, the plaques will grow and merge into one another, covering large areas.
• Itchy, painful skin that can crack or bleed
• Small areas of bleeding where the involved skin is scratched
• Problems with your fingernails and toenails, including discoloration and pitting; the nails may also begin to crumble or detach from the nail bed.
• Scaly plaques on the scalp.

Psoriasis can also be associated with psoriatic arthritis, which causes achy, swollen joints. Between 10% and 30% of people with psoriasis also have this painful joint condition.

• Salt Bath: A warm (not hot) bath can be soothing to the skin, especially for people with psoriasis. You can try adding Epsom salt, mineral oil, colloidal oatmeal, or olive oil to help with itching and irritation.
• Aloe Vera: Creams made from extracts of the aloe vera plant can be applied to the skin to help reduce redness, scaling, itching, and inflammation. The results of clinical studies testing whether aloe vera creams help with psoriasis have shown mixed results.
• Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are known to help decrease inflammation in the body. This can be beneficial for psoriasis symptoms. Inflammation is what causes the itchy, red flakes.
  Omega-3s can be found in a variety of foods, including: flaxseed oil, nuts, seeds, soy, fatty fish
• Turmeric: Mild to moderate psoriasis found that turmeric gel applied twice daily for nine weeks helped improve the size, redness, thickness, and scaling of their psoriasis lesions.
  Another recent double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trialTrusted Source found that turmeric extract taken orally and combined with visible light phototherapy could be beneficial for people with psoriasis.
  However, in another studyTrusted Source, taking turmeric capsules by mouth wasn’t found to be effective in people with moderate to severe psoriasis.
• Oregon grape: Oregon grape or Mahonia aquifolium is an antimicrobial herb in the barberry family.
  Research has found that a cream containing an extract of the herb might help with psoriasis. In one open clinical trial, a total of 433 people with psoriasis were treated with a Mahonia aquifolium ointment.
  After 12 weeks, psoriasis symptoms improved or disappeared in over 80 percent of the study participants. The extract was also shown to be safe and well-tolerated.
