Question 1

what is a cheap alternative to taclonex?

Accepted Answer

Many many options: Taclonex is just a combo of 2 things--vitamind derivative calcipotrine and an old steroid betamethasone, both are quite cheap separately. The number of vitamind derivattive topicals r limitted, but there are many many generic steroid creams/ointments/solutions etc...So, consult your doc and express your concerns..Expensive does not mean better! good luck.

Question 2

is there a natural remedy for scalp psorisis? i've tried numerous prescriptions taclonex and vectical.  it just keeps coming back

Accepted Answer

Functional medicine: Yes, you need to identify and treat the underlying imbalances in the immune system and gut.  Often psoriasis may be a manifestation of leaky gut and underlying food allergies or immune dysfunction related to intestinal dysbiosis.  I'd recommending finding a medical doctor who specializes in functional medicine to help you in this process...  Check out  http://www.Functionalmedicine.Org/.

Question 7

triamcinolone acetonide ointment used for acne?

Accepted Answer

Very bad idea: It will make the redness and swelling go away by stopping the neutrophils from fighting the bacteria that cause acne. It will promote the same skin changes that trigger acne at puberty. Using this stuff on your face over time is likely to scar you by itself. Please get with a competent physician instead of experimenting with prescription-strength medications.

Question 8

No.: They are in the same category, i.e. They are both medium-strength steroid creams, and therefore they are used for similar indications, but they are not identical.
