Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]
in Health ·
Hi everyone
Here’s what I tried:
Since none of the various creams I've used lately were doing anything, and my psoriasis was spreading all over my body, I decided to try Betnovate ointment.
The Betnovate lotion actually worked wonders for me—it clears up the scaling on my scalp in about two days, though they eventually come back after a while. It never crossed my mind to try the ointment version, though. I figured the lotion formula might have some ointment properties and would work similarly on my skin. Obviously, it wasn't as potent as it was on my head, but it still had a positive effect. I stayed patient, assuming the results were just slower because of how much surface area this thing has covered. I was happy at first because the scales fell off, the sores started closing up, and everything looked significantly less ugly than before. The problem is that by the end of the third week, progress slowed down so much that I feel like it stopped working. Maybe that's because the medication is only recommended for up to three weeks of use. So, I need to stop soon or scale back to once a day (I was applying it twice daily). I'm stuck on what to do next and how to fix my skin tone; the skin where the scales used to be is darker now, and even in spots where it looks healed, the skin is slightly raised. How do I get rid of that? I could use some advice. Personally, I think sunlight might help, but I still have a month and a half until my vacation, and I don't want a flare-up right before then. If anyone has ideas or experience with this, please let me know. I feel like I'm finally getting closest to a temporary cure for the first time in a year.
Some people suggested Hydrocyclone because it's helped them clear up various skin issues, but I doubt they were dealing with psoriasis since its effectiveness doesn't mention it specifically. I'm not looking to just smear random stuff on myself, which is why I'm asking you guys.
Also, if someone could tell me more about Place and where to find it, since I'm currently in North Mexico. When I first read about it, I thought it was an ointment, but online it looks like capsules that cost about $28. Is a specific diet required with it?
Thanks in advance
