Pass urine boiling point, body ache and fatigue. The higher the hotness the more my body aches and the more my stomach races itself in producing acid.

I have a psoriasis problem; (albeit not severe) it seems that there is a link between high core temperature and psoriasis as well as eczema. People who have encountered with these skin problems all seem to have a high running temperature.

Lowering the core temperature seems to be the other treatment in which the Chinese herbal stores all agree is the solution. Is there a reliable solution?

Well, for the pimples on your face I do use Panoxyl 5 cream(not the gel). My pimples have gone completely and trust me I am not kidding about it like any commercial ad.
Well, for the pimples on my head too, I have not found a remedy yet in spite of visiting a lot of doctors. But I will recommend an antibiotic named Cefadur-500. It works very well making all the boils on your head disappear but they return if u do not take care of your head.
Please check with your doctor before you try any of these though!
