Health Tip: Caring for Psoriasis on Your Feet

HealthDay News : 04-Jan-2017

Psoriasis causes red, scaly, itchy plaques on the skin, including the feet.

The American Podiatric Medical Association suggests these ways to soothe it:

•     Moisturize your feet regularly. Choose a moisturizer that's hypoallergenic and non-irritating.
•     Soak feet in an oatmeal bath.
•     Ask your doctor about special light therapy.
•     Avoid psoriasis triggers, such as alcohol and exposure to dry air.
•     See a podiatrist if your foot psoriasis doesn't improve.
