Extreme Body Hair - Please help!

Dear Doctor(s),

I am a male, 28 years old, 5' 10' tall and I weight 82.5 kgs(182 pounds). I am originally from India but I have been living in the USA for the past 4 years. My biggest problem is extreme body hair growth - It is all over my body, the hair is dark black and tends to grow pretty long (sometimes close to 2 inches long all over the body). I have very thick/coarse facial hair and I have to shave every day to keep it under control - Even after a clean shave, it looks like I have a 5 o' clock shadow. This is seriously affecting my social life, my confidence and I am just not able to enjoy the simple things in life, like going out, wearing a t-shirt during summer and even going to the gym, because I am getting very conscious about my body hair and it looks bad. I am always trying to avoid social occasions lately. It is very depressing to know that I am starting to cut down on my social life because of this. I am a smoker who has been smoking for the past 6 years, with an average of 10-12 cigarettes per day. The more depressed I am, the more I end up smoking and consume sugary foods - Lots of coffee/tea, ice cream. I sometimes skip meals and live on tea/coffee along with cigarettes. I badly want to quit smoking but every time I try, I fail. My self-confidence has gone down very low. I feel very lethargic lately and I procrastinate a lot. I have great personal goals and things I want to achieve and always think positive, but when it comes to actually doing the work, i tend to get distracted, waste time, procrastinate and then regret a lot. This is also the reason why I end up doing most of my work during the last minute and take a lot of stress. I want this all to change.

My History: From the moment I can remember, I have always had extreme body hair, which is around the age of 15-17. I have been suffering from Psoriasis from an young age. I used to have very bad break outs, especially in the fingers, joints (elbow, knee) and at the back of my neck. This was when I was 8-12 years old. I used to apply steroid creams and it used to help. Surprisingly my condition of psoriasis disappeared as I grew older and right now I have very bad scalp psoriasis, in the groin area, and dry skin all over, dark joints and toes. I have to wash my scalp every day and apply oil based hair cream and it is good for a few hours and then the scalp starts itching again. This is the case for the past 10 - 12 years or so. I have scaly patches in my scalp, groin area and it can get really itchy sometimes. My breakouts are bad whenever I am stressed out. I sweat a lot in hot weather conditions and hence I prefer the cold/winter where I don't have to deal with the sweating. I have suffered from Jaundice once when I was a kid. I also used to have bad sinus problems and I took Homeopathy medicines in India (around 5-6 years ago) and it was cured. I do not know what medicines they were, since the doctor will just give me a tablet after the consultation.

I normally tend to avoid any sort of medication and I strongly believe in curing any ailment the natural way. I have been taking a multivitamin tablet every morning for the past 3 and half years. Recently I was diagnosed with adult adhd in the US and I was prescribed stimulants. I took them for a week and then stopped taking it, because I didn't feel it was right and I am exploring natural ways of finding a solution. The medicine also had bad side effects which I could feel every time I took them. So I completely stopped taking them after a week.

I recently went for a basic blood test including Thyroid levels and ECG a month ago and everything was normal. Thank God for that.

These are the concerns I would like to get medical help for:

1. Excessive body hair - I really want to get rid of all my body hair. The hair on my scalp is fine, but I don't want the body hair. It is all over my body.
2. Psoriasis - I want to take control of this issue. I recently ordered Loma Lux, a homeopathy medicine for Psoriasis. Is it advisable to start taking this medicine, or can you suggest me something else?

These two reasons totally kill my confidence, my outlook on life and it is starting to affect my productivity. I am getting more and more concerned about this, and sometimes getting rid of the body hair is all I think about all day. I am willing to quit smoking and coffee if that will help with my cure. I am becoming less and less active lately. I would appreciate any kind of help.

If there is any other information I can provide, please do let me know and I thank you in advance for the help.
