So I applied it earlier in the day.
I applied it before he went to bed. (We are trying his arms first).
This morning, I left his sleeping and I went out to Dunkin (three steps from my house). I come back and what do I find? Alan is up, showered, and applying the cetaphil and he says "Look, look, it's working'. I said "Really?" It seems it dissolved the scales faster than anything we have used previously. Now I know this is a test, but believe me, if his arms get clear, I'm going out and getting that Tub of Cetaphil for $14.99. (Maybe it's cheaper at Walgreens but since I can't walk very well, I'll settle for the drugstore right around the corner.
So thank you Rose for the tip on Cetaphil. Will update.

Now on to Aussie
When you began talking about lobster and garlic and butter, the bells went off in my head and now I want THAT. lol
Never had creme brulee.
Have had cinnamon buns (who on earth has never had them).
But alas, being diabetic, I am sticking to my sprouts and greens. They are da bombe. Aussie, you have seen my videos on my greens and stir frys right?

Melody, the Cetaphil will also help if he keeps using it even when the skin is clear of psoriasis. I use it more so at the beginning of summer (that's when mine is worse) and it hasn't come back for the past 2 years. I put it on twice a day. I really think it stops the skin from shedding too early. I'm glad it helped to dissolve the scales. That right there shows how it can help.
I think once the skin is clear he should keep using it because I'm sure it will prevent the scales from coming back, because that's exactly what it did for me.
