You’re very welcome, hope it helps you, might takes a week or 2 but I’m sure it will! I’m currently in a battle with the rest of my body and just finished my first week of UVB treatment so fingers crossed! It never ends does it haha! :-(

Thanks for your comment! On the reviews on Amazon it mentions it a pharmacist thought it may have coal tar and not safe for long time use. I don’t mind using coal tar so never know. Thanks for the recommendation. Did it work for you?

Hi all Had a very persistent intensely itchy rash since November which has severely impacted my sleep. Some nights zero sleep. It was misdiagnosed by doctors several times but I paid to see a private dermatologist, which is not a route I can continue to afford. He said he thinks it's psoriasis which I've got on other areas of my body but not like this severe rash patch. I've been using Enstillar on it but it changed to feeling burnt/ painful and now it's back to itchy and painful. Anyone had similar experiences? Thanks in advance

Anthony have you been taking it for very long. I found that for the first 3 or 4 day my skin got worse and more painful but after that it gradually improved. My experience of using Enstillar has been mixed. I had extensive thick plaques on my legs and lower torso. Initially was going through a can in about 12 days, which proved difficult as my GP would only prescribe it every 30 days, so had wait a couple of months and save up enough Enstillar.to keep using it After a couple of months of daily use my legs and lower torso were pretty much clear, however I started getting small patches of psoriasis everywhere on my body, including in places I hadn't had or hadn't had for many years. I treated these patches with Enstillar. All was good until I tried to go down to a maintenance dose of twice a week and the psoriasis reappeared within days. Under advise from my dermatology dept I weaned myself off it but my psoriasis is back to how it was before I started on the Enstillar. I am now waiting to start a course of light treatment which I was hoping to avoid, as have had around 20 courses of light treatment already. Light initially was great the first course I was pretty much psoriasis free for around 2 years, each subsequent course the respite was shorter and shorter. The last couple of course I only got a couple of weeks before the psoriasis was back to the same as I started.
