the one that works best for me is dovobet, they say dont use it for long periods but i have been useing it for several years, using it three or four times a week. the best thing is the cream doesnt stain. i have been able to wear short sleeved shirts for a few years now and also go swiming. i would like to know why they say dont use it, apart from thining the skin what else is it supposed to do. my doctor never told me only to use for a short period of time, but then again like what a few people have mentioned, they don't seem to want to know.

My mum has suffered from psoriasis for most of her life and it flares up really bad at times then it can die down. Usually stress sets it off really bad. She had light therapy at the hospital - basically just controlled sun beds and it cleared up amazingly. She has loads of creams including dovobet, diprobase, dovonex. She has been told to take plenty fish oils and eat a healthy diet and no alcohol. Dont use perfumed or fragrances products. She seems to be coping well with it considering its very widespread to her scalp and all over her body.
I've heard that sunlamps work quite well?
it is a steroid cream that's why! thinning your skin will not be helpful to your problem instead it can bring on secondary infection, skin becomes more sensitive and irritable easily, sun exposure will be intolerable. u should depend more on moisturiser to keep the skin moist
I answerd a similar question yesterday so I wish to be breif if you go yo my name you can bpick up the answer there , but in essence I said my fater and sister had had this condition my fatheres was chronic and made him a recluse both of my relations got arthrits often this si a result in thai s disease as both are auto immune . Normal medicine does not cure the condition a fwe days rago there was a nrticle in the times about a new treatment effective for two months then the condition came back with the sam e viralence
Go to a TCM traditional chiinese medicine or Homeopath there can be quite a few reasons for this condition , But to a homeopath it is usually what is called the PSORIC miasm
Hello:Dovobet is a combination psoriasis treatment - it is part Calcipitriene and a potent steroid. Calcipitriene by it self was originally brought to the market as Dovonex and it is a vitamin D derivative. The precautions for Dovonex is that it can lead to in increase in calcium. The way Dovonex worked was that it slowed down the cycling of the psoriasis. Cortisone/steroids work by healing the scaling skin but it thins it out. Also applying too much cortisone/steroids to your skin could also cause your adrenal glands to stop producing cortisone which is even worse. By putting the two of them together you have two different effective ways to go after the psoriasis. One slows it down and the other heals it which allows you to get a leg up on the disease. But since you have two different components you also have two different sets of adverse reactions that are possible. Dovobet is also not recommended to people under the age of 18 or to sufferers that have psoriasis on more than 30% of the body because of the possible increase of adverse reactions.Good luck to you, I basically did the same thing that the donobet now does. I used Dovonex at night and a corticosteroid during the day and I found that helped immensely. I did it quite by accident though - the dovonex was burning my skin and I could only use it once a day and I had some Dermovate hanging around so I used it during the day.

WHY THEY DON"T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT DOVOBET
Read on the side effects are real.
Warning!
This medicine is for external use only. The ointment should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area(s). Wash your hands after each application, unless you are treating psoriasis on your hands. Avoid accidentally transfering the ointment to the scalp, face, mouth or eyes. You should not use more than 15g of ointment in one day and more than 100g in one week, and the treated area of skin should not make up more than 30 per cent of the body surface. If corticosteroids are used long-term, on large areas of skin, raw skin, skin folds, or under airtight dressings they are absorbed into the body more. This increases the risk of local side effects such as skin thinning, and those on other parts of the body, such as a decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal glands. Do not use this medicine on large areas of damaged skin, under dressings, or in skin folds (eg armpits or under breasts), unless told to do so by your doctor. Consult your doctor if your skin becomes infected during treatment, as you may need to stop using this medicine and start treatment with antibiotics. People using this medicine to treat psoriasis should have regular check-ups with their doctor. This is because although corticosteroids may be useful for psoriasis in the short-term, they can sometimes make psoriasis worse, and may cause the condition to relapse into generalised pustular psoriasis after the treatment is stopped.

You say you have tried all sorts of creams %26 so has my husband. We have finally found his cure! Exorex cream has cleared it up in a few weeks. Before that he mixed honey %26 vaseline together to make a paste which also worked wonders but it was very sticky. One teaspoon of honey %26 a little vaseline mixed together if you want to give it a try.
