it off. Probably wouldn't work anyway, since it isn't psoriasis, but
it is an interesting thought.


The ones in the article just needed dry skin, not diseased dried skin. ;-)

Other articles called these fish doctor fish and made health claims.
One stated a lady planed to return to Turkey next year because the
fish cleared her psoriasis longer than other previous treatments. I
suppose there might be some benefit for certain people, beyond the
pleasure of enjoying the nibbling of pet fish. My thoughts went to
the sun damaged patches on my own skin and the possibility that
goldfish fry raised here might be of some benefit, but it hardly seems
worth the effort in my case.
