Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]
in Health ·
Greeting everyone! I’m just another person dealing with the struggle of psoriasis. It all started for me right after I had my baby. At first, I tried Cherry's ointment, then moved on to Daivonex, and then spent quite a bit of time experimenting with various herbal teas and tinctures from both local pharmacies and holistic herbalists. Most recently, I was using Butavate ointment, but honestly, nothing I've tried so far has really made a dent in it. Yesterday, I finally went to see my dermatologist, and I was honestly ready to lose my cool with him. Well, he told me he'll prescribe some tablets, but only after we get my bloodwork back. In the meantime, he wants me to follow this plan:
- 10% salicylic acid under an occlusive dressing for 10-14 days, applied to the body
- 6% salicylic acid gel for the scalp
(He wrote out the prescription and I had it custom-made at the pharmacy)
After that period is over, I'll move on to:
- Diprosalic ointment under an occlusive dressing for 14 nights
- Diprosalic lotion—about 20 drops at night for 14 nights on the scalp.
Has anyone else here ever gone through a treatment regimen like this? I'm starting tonight, so I guess we'll see how things look in 28 days.
