I have no idea if this is a miracle or whatever it is.
Dr. Fred (last week) gave him a new prescription for Clobetasol. He has used this product in the past (long long time ago, and it did work but for whatever reason, Alan stopped using it. Well, with all his infusions, and stress, his psoriasis was flaring up BIG time. All over his body. Never saw such a thing. His ears, between his eyebrows, (places where the sun don't shine). I have no idea why this happens, but happened it did to my husband. We tried everything. The Vitamin E. the A D & E ointment. Everything. NOTHING WORKED. Last week he applies the Clobetasol and in three days it's all gone. You should see the lesion (or what USED TO BE THE LESION) on his right ankle. This lesion was huge, red, scaly and thick. About 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. It was so bad that when he had the operation and wore a cast over this foot for 4 or so weeks, well you should have seen what came off of this lesion. Well, I've been looking and it's still gone. He used the Clobetasol for 3 days (starting last week) and that's how long it took for everything to dry up and go away. Oh there are still little remnants of his psoriasis in places BUT NOTHING LIKE IT WAS BEFORE HE BEGAN this new tube. I have no idea why this is, BUT I'M HAPPY IT IS. The lesion is gone from the right leg. Only smooth baby skin remains. How do you like that??? I still can't get over how fast this cream worked on him. Maybe his immune system is kicking in???

that is really great, my 5 yro grandson has psorasis, mostly on his back. I'm not sure which cream he uses, but I will mention this to his mother. He has a flare up once in a while and his doctor changed his medication last time.
We have to be careful about him being in the sun for very long and we always make sure he has a shirt and sunblock...but he does pretty well. Thanks for the name of this cream...I'm gonna mention it to her! Glad Alan is doing much better!!! |

The patches on his elbows are just red, no scaly, (because he never remembers to put on the cream). But the stuff that was on his legs is GONE. I am so happy he found something that finally worked. Good luck to all of you and I hope the cream helps you too!!! mel

Well, the Aquaphor and Dovonex cream have completely reversed my hubby's horrible elbow and thigh.(where his pocket contents rub on the leg). The elbow was the worst and scaly, and now you'd never know it had been there.
This is without Clobetasol (which is a member of the steroid family) or any other steroid. However, he is getting new patches on his chest, but they are only red so far. He is very satisfied.

I wonder why some of those creams work for some and not for others?? Alan tried the Aquaphor and Dovonex years ago and they did nothing. And I seem to remember that years ago, the clobetasol did nothing either. But THIS time it did the trick. I wonder why. Melody

My daughter (16) has psoriasis in her scalp and has begun to get it on the rest of her body. Her dermatologist prescribed her clobetasol for her scalp and an ointment for her body. It does work fantastically, the even have a once a week clobetasol shampoo. So I am glad to that you have found success with this drug because I think it works miracles. Keep the faith. annie |
