Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone (Topicort), fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues (for example, calcipotriol), and retinoids have been routinely used. Phototherapy containing UV A has also been employed. But it is usually seen that psoriasis can become resistant to a specific therapy. Treatments may be periodically changed to prevent resistance developing.
Hello, my six month old son was born with ILVEN. It starts on the back of his shoulder and goes down his arm to the crease of his arm. We have been going to a pediatric dermatologist since we first noticed it. They did a biopsy and it came back as ILVEN. His dermatologist prescribed dovonex and a steroid cream I apply twice daily. I have been doing this for 3 months now and I don't see any change at all. Our next appointment is in another 3 months to check it.
The affected areas are in the T-Zone and scalp. These areas are very sensitive and red. When I leave the areas alone, they develop yellowish scales in about 2 days. The scales cover up some redness so should I leave them or wipe them off? I experience constant flushing and burning only in these areas. Any topical product or lotion makes my condition worsern and showers seem to do the same. Sunlight makes my face feel a little better. Anyone have any tips or ideas or anything?
For a couple years now I've had fairly bad flakes--as in they never let up all day long. They are particularly numerous whenever my hair is dry after I washed it. I cut my own hair with clippers and keep it very short year-round, 1/8" -1/4", so the flakes were never a problem, it seemed. No itching, no excessive amounts of it, etc.. I would try moisturizing shampoos, which wouldn't work; so I'd try dandruff shampoos, which also didn't work.
My scalp will be red with blood, but it is a clear liquid that makes my hair stick together at night. It started about 3 years ago and then went away and came back last year and never cleared up. When I do itch my head, I have these big clumps of scabs that come off with it. I have tried T-gel shampoo and nothing is helping. Can you suggest anything? I have also put neosporin on them.
Ive been using nizoral shampoo every other day on the infected area and for the first 2 weeks was using lamisil or canensten cream (anitfungal). However the last doctor i went to prescribed me DOVONEX (calciptotriol). Ive done some research on what it is, and there is no link between Psoriasis(which is what dovonex is used for) and Pytriaisis Versicolor or even Tinea Versicolor, or any other fungal infections for that matter.
Treatment options include Ointment and creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone (Topicort), vitamin D3 analogues (for example, calcipotriol), and retinoids, Psoralen+UVA and PUVB therapy. Over time, psoriasis can become resistant to a specific therapy. Treatments may be periodically changed to prevent resistance developing (tachyphylaxis) and to reduce the chance of adverse reactions occurring.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
my son has severe plaque psoriasis. he is on medicare and dovonex is not covered. What other medicine can he use and is there any financial assistance.?
I want to use the scalp solution for the dandruff.Please write the trade name of the solution which I can purchase in India.I am suffering from dandruff for almost 15 years and i have tried some will advertised shampoo and other prodicts which are not effective.Somebody has advesed urine therapy.I may use it if possible for me.
Then follow up with another light misting of the scalp and hair with the solution and allow hair to air dry. The vinegar smell will be gone once the hair completely dries. The solution acts as a clarifying agent, removing build from the a scalp and hair while promoting ph levels. It also has anti microbial benefits which kills door causing bacteria. Let me know if it helps.
If I skipped shampooing for one day the itching became unbearable and then the scratching made it worse, causing more of an eruption. Once the scalp developed bumps or flaking then I would use a fluocinonide solution on my scalp - probably any steroid solution would do, but the important part is getting it in solution rather than a cream or ointment – either of those would make a real mess applied where hair is present!
Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on face and scalp, neck, inside of elbows, behind knees, and buttocks.Treatment is with a Corticosteroid ointment which will reduce the inflammation.
But with your history of Psoriasis, it would likely be an extension of that.These measures area must to reduce the recurrence rate.There are many treatments available but because of its chronic recurrent nature psoriasis is a challenge to treat.
Your doctor can also prescribe a topical steroid for this. These meds are available in a solution that is non-greasy for use on the scalp. The one I've used (and found very helpful) is fluocinonide solution. I also didn't do well with strong menthol shampoos or conditioners - they really irritated my skin even more.
Hi, I am really really concerned about a burn scar which I have on my left hand. I burned my hand with hot wax in a little area about a size of a quarter about 6 months ago. Now I have a white scar on that area. I've been to a dermatologist and they prescribed me Dovonex and Vectical ointment. I've been using Dovonex and now I'm using Vectical. The dermatologist told me I should keep putting the ointment on before I think of doing something else.
Does anyone who has treated know what is good for scalp itch? It is really bugging me. Going to the doc on Tuesday but meanwhile...I am trying not to touch it but it is real uncomfortable.
Thanks!
Honestly i do not know when it started but i am always using my finger to rub on my scalp looking for something to scratch off , i have a serious problem with dandruff it comes and goes and sometimes grow over night.
When i have it bad i notice i have red spots or bumps on my scalp and i need help because i am very scared this might be some sort of disease ... can someone tell me what are these small red spots that appear ?
they feel like they are almost underneath the skin of my scalp and Although they are always present on my scalp,the only time they show up is when I scratch them.
Along with these symptoms,I have been struggling with mild diffuse hairloss that seems to occur when these symptoms arise.
I am prone to excema but it usually disappears by now. I have tried nearly everything to get this under control but it like my scalp seems to get used to it and gets worse again.

Because of this I feel very sad. Can you please help me?
