In my previous comment I wrote Aveva instead of Aveeno. Aveeno is the super duper lotion!

I take baths to which I add olive oil (about 2 oz) – I will also try grape seed oil as I heard it could be very beneficial. Anyway, with olive oil your entire skin absorbs it in the bath and you don’t have to use any extra moisturizers when you get out. I used to have lesions on my feet – which have now completely cleared. For my hands, I make an ointment of 2 parts vaseline, one part neosporin, 1/2 part Dermovate (which is a strong corticosteroid for psoriasis)and use it morning/evening when needed. The best moisturizing lotion I tried so far is Aveva body lotion which is very gentle and long lasting. I always have it in my purse and apply it every time I wash my hands and in between. By the way, when I even touch Nivea my hands flare up. Just a few tricks to share – hope it helps.

Hi, I GOT RID OF IT. I had pustular psoriasis on approx 50-60% of my palm’s and the soles (in step portion) of my feet. I had it for 5 consecutive months and the creams that the doctors prescribed didn’t work. For every pustule that would drain and turn into a red scab or dot more pustules would break out. It started on my finger tips and spread to my fingers, palms and then to my soles over a period of about 3 weeks and then it got worse or stayed about the same for the next 5 months. Here’s what I did, it was some thing I remembered from my grandmother using on stubborn skin rashes and it’s so simple. As it turned out, it worked, and I haven’t had a recurrence since February 2009. First I broke open all the pustules with a sterile sewing needle. Then I filled a basin with “hot” water and added 1 1/2 times the recommended Epson Salts, yes that’s right Epson Salts. I soaked about 5-10 minutes (took my hands out before they started to prune)then I applied hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball. I did this over the next couple of weeks when ever I noticed more pustules forming. My fingers were the last to heal and when they had new pustules but my palms didn’t I would just soak the effected fingers. I did the same thing for my feet. It took about 6 weeks for my feet to heal because of all the thick dead skin that had to work it’s way off. I was all healed in about 6 weeks, hands were 4 weeks with no signs that I ever had this horrible thing. About two months later I noticed some pustules on my fingers, I immediately treated them and no additional pustules came out, the little scabs were completely gone in 4 days and I’ve never had a reocurrance again. I don’t know why it worked, but it did, I hope it works as well for you. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Oh one more thing, I was very careful when I was healing to keep my hands dry (apart from when I had to soak). Don’t get them into any detergents, scented creams or anything that could be irritating. If you need to wash your hands use a use a gentle pure soap (I used ivory)and pat them dry. Don’t go rubbing all kinds of creams on your hands or feet. When they are healed if there is still a lot of hard calloused skin or your feet try a little vitamin E oil or something pure. It will all eventually come off.
Best Wishes
PS I did not use anything to moisturize until I was healed from the pustules completely.
