Psoriasis for 3 years
I have had psoriasis since 3 yrs old, I'm now 64.
I have it quite badly under my breasts & scalp and also on my elbows.
I just wondered if there is any new medication on the market that will help more than the Betnovate ointment, prescribed as a liquid for my scalp and cream for under my breasts?
Many thanks

Re: Psoriasis for 3 years
Dear Marian,
Thanks for posting. There are a number of products for the scalp - simple measures might include soaking the scalp in coconut oil to help lift off crust. Dovobet gel or Diprosalic scalp application are effective for the scalp.
There is a relatively new product called Enstilar foam spray which is pretty good for psoriasis on the body.
Hope that helps a little,
Sree
