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.
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.?
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.
I also have Dovobet, Hydrocortisone Acetate (Hyderm) and Betaderm. I am currently using the Hyderm, however, nothing is working and the rash keeps spreading. I am currently looking for a new dermotologist but there's a long waiting list. Thanks for responding.
I have been switched to Dovonex for the treatment of psoriasis, but experienced achey joints and hormonal fluctuations after prolonged use of Desonide (0.05%). I was wondering if this is just a coincidence (that I am just naturally predisposed to having thyroid problems) or if I misused the ointment.
Hi
i have been experiencing itchy anus and along the butt crack since a few days now. The doctor thought it to be psoriasis and prescribed Dovobet ointment. I have been applying the same past 2 days but with no relief. Today i noticed that the whole butt crack is discolored! The skin has turned white (my skin tone is wheatish). I am very stressed and thinking negative...Please help!
Anyway her main hypothesis was psoriasis as i allready have that at various parts of my body. So she gave me dovobet and some dermatologic cream in combination with it. I applied it once per day during two weeks and i must admit although the penis felt sore to touch generally the sensations were less pronounced. But now i stopped using the cream for a week and the sensations are back....
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.
about 3 years ago i had a bad outbreak which was covering every part of my body. my doctor prescribed dovobet which contains a combination of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate. i made a point of asking my doctor if it was safe to use on my face, she said yes its fine.
Have you tried Dovonex, a vitamin D3 derivitive, on your elbows? Might be stronger than Elidel on that part of the body. Ointment is stronger than cream. Just be careful not to get it on your face so best to wear long sleeves after applying so you won't accidently touch.Also, as mentioned, Protopic -- very similar to Elidel -- is a bit stronger and sometimes works better than Elidel.
I have been on betamethasone, desonide, dovonex (for a year) and, now, clobetasol (once a day). I will be undergoing phototherapy in a month.
My question is whether or not it is safe to have phototherapy on thinning skin.
Also, should I treat thinning skin with moisturizers or is there another solution? I have terrible bruising; but the cream seems to be working.
Ive been using Nizoral shampoo and used a couple fo antifungal creams. But recently iive been prescribed Dovonex. I have no idea why though =\
How can i know if the fungus is gone and whether i should stoop using the dovonex as it is starting to irritate me and is a hassle putting it on.
I use to take desonide and betamethasone for the skin, but got switched over to dovonex in the summertime. I have daily nausea and vomit occasionally because of it. Last week, I threw up because of standing up too fast. I'm very lightheaded and occasionally get a numb feeling at the top of my head, my cheeks and my tongue.

Lactulose vs. Xifaxan to decrease the ammonia. And beta blockers vs. banding for the varices which I presume are esophageal. You will get variations of experiences here which are therapeutic relative to your anxiety and directive relative to the facts But go to your Hepatologist with these anxieties because you can manage the effects of cirrhosis. My best.
You just have to do it awhile and you learn what is low vs high (ie knuckle deep to reach it vs full middle finger vs full ring finger). Then soft vs hard would be the difference between your lips and nose. I know way to much information, but you asked;-) It is also best when you cervix is wet (ie egg white stretchy discharge). Just remember most fertile is SHOW--Soft, High, Open, Wet. Again sorry I can't help with open vs closed. Good luck.
Study Confirms Benefits of Vitamin E in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
Megan Brooks
May 4, 2010 — Supplementation with the natural form of vitamin E (800 IU/day) has beneficial effects in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but pioglitazone's benefits are less clear, according to the latest findings from the Pioglitazone vs Vitamin E vs Placebo for the Treatment of Nondiabetic Patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (PIVENS) trial, reported online April 28 in the New England
Here is the article I was referring to. I hadn't remembered that it addresses nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and not simple fatty liver so it may not be as applicable as I thought. Nevertheless I will post it.
I was watching my local news today and they started talking about VS bras and people experiencing rashes and itching. I can't believe it. For over a year I was to the dermatologist, gynocologist and family doctor trying to get help for the unbelieveable itching that I had on my breasts. I was wearing a VS bra. I went through many topical creams, changed my diet, changed my detergent, even the doctors were baffled. Over the summer I went to VS and got new bras.
