Works really great and well if you have psoriasis .As soon as I applied the dermalmd serum and absorb into the skin, my rash seemed to disappear.

I have had a bad psoriasis spot on my the back of my scalp for over 6 years (but nowhere else) and nothing will cure psoriasis they say. I have used prescription creams and ointments the entire time on and off, some seemed to alleviate the itch for a short time but then it would come back after a few hours and be worse. None of the pharmaceutical Rx stopped the flaking. Some prescriptions even made the symptoms worse! I have only tried one other product over the counter and it only worked the first few uses to almost numb the itching and then it also stopped Working all together. I was a bit hesitant at $50 USD to try dermalmd psoriasis serum in case it didn't help ME, but after asking a question on Dermalmd support system and receiving a few encouraging helpful replies from the community I decided I had nothing to loose on this serum as it seems to be a very good company and product, and offers a money back guarantee! Well, I must say that I have only been using the product (once sometimes twice per day) on my scalp and it has made a huge difference. I would say that after only 2 weeks of use my symptoms such as uncontrollable itching and flaking due to treatment has been 80-90% improved! To me, that is a miracle! Not to mention it does not ruin my fine hair when styled is another bonus. Why would I want to use a prescription that doesn't even work (and who knows what else) when I can use this? It is amazing! I am so happy with the product and so glad I tried it!
crushy, gonna be honest if you use healthy options the doctors will tell you to go away had severe P back in april last year to the point were i was hospitalised tried acitretin and other crap and made my life a living hell, i used a healthy approach as in stop all the crap food no smoking no alcohol i use mainly celerey juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to clear any crap out, i eat a lot of blueberries and other healthy foods, the moment i told my doctor he was not happy with me as i didnt take his approach.

Hello, just adding to the chat. I have started to get really dry patches around my eyes. Has anyone experienced this and knows of any way to help it?

Just adding to the chat, ask your doctor about vitamin D analogues, I think its called calcipotriol or calcitriol, unlike can steroids it can be used for 4 weeks, and it feels really nice. I used it every other 4 weeks. Defo check it out works a treat

Hi, my daughter (aged 11) was recently diagnosed with guttate psoriasis. It is particularly bad on her scalp, forehead, behind & in her ears & around her eyes. It isn't particularly itchy but is quite red & very dry. We have tried all sorts of creams. Doctor prescribed Diprosone ointment (betamethasone) which I now know is a potent steroid cream. He didn't give us any advice, just apply cream twice a day. In hindsight I probably would have pushed back or certainly asked more questions, but at the time I just wanted it to go away. I've been trying to cut back using the cream and haven't used it on her forehead for a few days now. I just don't know what to do for the best and I know that everyone is different and what works for one person does not work for another. At the moment we are just using a very gentle moisturiser but I don't know whether that is going to make it better. It is all over her body but certainly her face is the most noticeable. Anyway, thank you for reading, it sort of helps just to be able to share with someone.

So sorry to hear about your daughter - it's hard to watch little ones deal with this. I hope you find a solution that works for her very soon.

I would ask for a dermatologist referral for your child. A lot of GPS are good but if it's that bad I'd see an expert. I got my psoriasis when I was 19 so don't know what the recommended treatment for children is but I would be tempted to go carefully with steroids especially on the face.

Hi ,I have had psoriasis on my face for most my adult life and the only application that I found to work is the cream Protropic from the docs . After couple applications it's gone , then just use every couple of days what starting to come back . It saved my sanity and life I guess , hope it works for others

Hello, I’ve just been diagnosed with mild psoriasis. The comments and suggestions above are really helpful as I re-visit my skin care routine. Thanks for sharing.
I’m interested to know what others use to remove make up with? Prior to diagnosis I’ve been using quick wipes.
What experiences and understanding do you have of Eumovate Cream’s side effects? My GP said not to use it on face and I see its risks include “increased hair growth” and also “weight gain, rounding of the face”. But does that mean if the cream is used on the face or is it that once absorbed by the skin those side effects can affect the face even if they aren’t directly applied to it?

Using a face wash before bed every night is the only that has helped me. I get psoriasis around my nose and eyebrows and doing this simple thing does wonders for me. Do it for couple of weeks and see if it works for you.

Does anyone know the name of this nettle moisturiser?

i first started getting symptoms at age 33 just a small rough patch on my cheek. nothing terribly painful or noticeable.about 2 yrs later i moved to a very sunny region (sonoran desert) and never had another issue. i was outside a lot eating healthy low stress working out regularly.
then i moved far north for job/school and almost immediately experienced a major flare up on my scalp. it was full blown w seeping sores and shedding.
my face turned into sandpaper and it just got worse from there progressing to eyebrowns forehead ears cheeks and jawline leaving scarring.
recently (last week) my doctor prescribed dovobet gel and fucidin cream and i noticed a difference right away. but this is only a temporary fix.
am wondering if living in a desert w all that sun is what kept it under control also why would it only show up at age 33 if its genetic?
also theres been research that indicates inflammatory medications can help as it is a condition that is related to an immune system over reaction and inflammation is a related mechanism.
it got really bad in the last two weeks and i have avoided leaving the house bc it looked ike i was a mangy contagious mutt and people are so judgemental.
im worried because im also currently looking for work i was laid off right when covid hit and spent the last 6 months in isolation bc the city i live in closed down completely. its just now reopening slowly.
cant use anything to cover my face bc that just irritates it and i know for a fact when people look at the red blotches and scarring it freaks them out ;(
any effective treatments/creams?
someone said nettles, also e350?
anything else to look at is appreciated

I am a new user of this website and new to all the P stuff. I think this site will help.! I am shocked by the GP lack of concern ( wrongly diagnosed months ago) and only when I paid to go to a dermatologist did I find out the truth of what I have. GP not offering any support even after letter sent by dermatologist. Only offers phone call, 10 days away!!! I am in a sea of uncertainty, not knowing which treatments to use . Thanks in advance for everyone's advice.
pen: use the treatments as advised by the dermatologist. Give them a chance to work.

I have medication that works but I need a suggestion about psoriasis in my ear drums. Has anyone else suffered from this and how was it treated?
Posted Mon 19 Oct 2020 12.08 by pen
I think that my real question is how long roughly does the medication take to work? I have been using for nearly a month and the patch on my face is worse. using Protopic. it seems to have no effect at all!
