Is sulfur soap effective for psoriasis?

Sulfur soap has certain adjuvant effects in the treatment of psoriasis, but it cannot replace standard professional medical treatment. Sulfur soap contains effective ingredients such as sulfur, which can kill bacteria and relieve itching. It is particularly effective in alleviating itchiness associated with psoriasis. Sulfur soap also helps eliminate bacteria, fungi, and mites on the skin surface, thus enhancing the skin's defensive capabilities. However, its sulfur concentration is relatively lower compared to clinical sulfur suppositories, and therefore its effects are somewhat limited. When using sulfur soap, care should be taken not to wash too frequently or vigorously, to avoid causing skin dryness or irritating existing skin lesions. Patients with severe skin lesions or open cracks should avoid using sulfur soap to prevent exacerbation of the condition. Patients should use sulfur soap cautiously and follow their physician's advice.
