Thanks, Chris Morgan67.
Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!] in Health ·
I have a quick question for Chris Morgan67. I recently picked up some Psorcutan from the pharmacy, but the packaging was completely different from what I usually get. To make matters worse, the cream isn't clear like the gel used to be—it's white now. Worst of all, it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all, no matter how much I apply. My previous batch of Psorcutan (the clear gel version) worked wonders for me, so I'm a bit confused by this change.

Best regards,

goldenstag213 said:Michael Ramos3, you’ve been a fixture on this forum for a long time, which is great. Some members have even reached out saying they’ve seen real results using your cream, which makes things even better. However, please don't feel the need to defend something that just doesn't pass the smell test of common sense.
So, here we have rowdyviper99 popping up for the very first time claiming to have a cure, and even going so far as to say 80% of his body was affected. In my case, about 20% of my body is covered, so there’s at least a few spots visible in every single family photo I have.
I simply asked the gentleman if he had any proof that he ever actually suffered from psoriasis in the first place. Besides, I mentioned to him that I still have a few spots left and that the skin where the psoriasis used to be is slightly darker now. I don't see why it would be an issue for him to snap a photo and show us. The fact that he hasn't responded at all since my post leads me to believe he was just selling smoke.
Let’s be realistic—nobody wants to heal their psoriasis more than I do, and I’d be thrilled to share that success with everyone, provided it's backed by actual arguments and some kind of evidence.
On another note, I’ll be in the city for business during the first month, so I’ll reach out to you to pick up your ointment. I plan to take photos of the changes every single day, and if it works for me, I’ll post everything and bring you enough business to keep you incredibly busy (someone else tried that once but disappeared shortly after).
I want to remind everyone that every true member of this forum shares one single goal: helping one another heal or, God willing, achieve total remission from psoriasis. Anyone else who shows up once and then vanishes is just a manipulator.
P.S.
Regarding the group that started using the ointment and tea from Smith—nobody is reporting anything back. Please let us know what's happening; even if there are no results, tell us so we don't waste our time and money.

Greetings,

It’s been about three or four weeks now of applying Smith's ointment, and the bottle is nearly empty... The redness is still there, the scaling is still there, and I honestly don't see much progress. My skin feels a bit softer and the flakes that fall off seem thinner, but I'm giving up. Perhaps it just doesn't work for my skin type. If you decide to try it, just a heads-up: stick to wearing black, because the cream will definitely stain your white clothes a bit. 🙂 NEXT CREAM PLEASE....

wearycrane11 said:Hey everyone, I'm curious about one thing: is Daivonex and Dovonex actually the exact same cream? It seems to me from some previous posts that they might be different... What exactly is in Daivonex? Honestly, I'm a bit anxious about what I'm applying to my skin. It’s really important to me that these are plant-based products rather than hormonal ones! Cheers.

It is effectively the same thing; it just goes by Daivonex in certain places and Dovonex in others, though both come from the manufacturer LEO Pharma. To give you an example, I once had 50g of Daivonex ordered through a pharmacy from Denmark, and another time I sourced it from Korea. A friend of mine is heading back to Korea this Saturday, so I asked him to pick some up and see if there are any new treatments or anything similar available there. Best regards!

There is a specific cream out there that shares the exact same formula as Dovonex called Sorrell. You can pick it up at pharmacies in Canada, but unfortunately, I just haven't been able to make the trip down to Herzegovina lately. $27 It’s essentially the same calcipotriol compound.

goldenstag213,

You can order Dovonex at the local Walgreens over on Valpowacka Street—it’s that little pharmacy right next to the Bank of Split. Just a heads-up: some of the staff there can be a bit too clever for their own good. They might question why you're asking for something you aren't familiar with, and they'll likely try to push Smith's cream on you instead (I suspect they get a commission on that stuff 🙂). Just stay firm and tell them you've already used Dovonex before.
I'll give you an update on the ointment I'm using now. It's still early days, but I've already seen about 5 or 6 millimeters of clearance from the edges.

Best regards,

Greetings everyone! 🙂>

I find myself checking this forum every single day, and honestly, it’s wonderful—there is so much useful information here. Michael Ramos3, you are truly an inspiration; keep up the great work. While I have absolutely no doubt about the effectiveness of your ointment, my personal take is that psoriasis really needs to be treated from the inside out. Of course, since there isn't a magic pill for that yet, we are left relying on various creams and ointments. I've noticed that whenever I sustain a skin injury, my psoriasis flares right up. Since I tend to live a bit of a high-octane lifestyle, injuries happen fairly often, so in two or three years, I might need a 20kg bucket of your ointment!
Anyway, enough about the ointment...
For me, the psoriasis triggered after a period of intense life stress. I didn't pay much attention to it until it actually started spreading. Then, a friend mentioned that his father dealt with the exact same thing on his elbows (back then, I didn't even know it was called psoriasis). He told me his dad uses Dovonex and that it cleared him up completely. His father actually lives in Korea, where Dovonex is easily available. So, I sent my mom to the pharmacy to pick some up for me. Naturally, we can't find it here in our lovely America, so the pharmacist told me she could order it from abroad. I waited a month and a half and ended up paying about $100. I would apply the Dovonex every morning and evening, and at night, I’d wrap my arms in plastic wrap. Within two or three weeks, it vanished from my arms, and for about two months, there was nothing left. I thought it was gone forever, since I wasn't even sure it was psoriasis yet. Then it came back, and I was totally confused. I went to see a dermatologist, who confirmed it was indeed psoriasis and told me it was incurable. Being young and stubborn, I thought, "What do you mean incurable?" Then summer arrived; I wasn't using any treatment, I was drinking plenty of beer, and the psoriasis spread like crazy. It wasn't a huge deal to me personally, until every single person at the beach started asking, "Hey, what's going on with your elbows?" By the end of the summer, I was losing my mind over the flare-up, so I sent my mom to hunt down that miraculous Dovonex again. But instead of ordering the Dovonex, my poor mom brought home some cream labeled "psoriasis ointment" $32. It has this distinct scent, almost like smoke, and it's dark in color—it reminds me of that herbal stuff from Smith's back in Knoxville. So, what did I do? I started applying it three times a day. I've been using it for a week now, and I am noticing that the psoriasis is receding a little more every day, moving from the outer edges toward the center. I've gotten used to the smell; it doesn't actually smell that strong once it's applied to the skin. The ingredients are lard, burdock, Avena sativa (oat), pine nuts, and olive oil. I’m going to keep using it and see how it goes; if it doesn't work out, I'll go back to Dovonex, because that stuff is incredible (it has no smell, it's colorless, and it works incredibly fast).
So, that's the update for now. I'll let you all know how things progress.

Best regards,
