Good idea to use clobetsol cream for psoriasis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Limit use: Over use of a topical steroid such as clobetasol can lead to thinning of the skin and other side effects. It can also lead to tachyphylaxis, in which the medication stops working. Using clobetasol with a vit. D analogue such as calcipotriene is better. Once the psoriasis improves, the calcipotriene can used on weekdays and the clobetasol on weekends to minimize side effects & prevent tachyphylaxis.

Is psoral cream good for treating psoriasis?
Months ago Derm told me that It would be good if I use Proscutan cream (D-vitam supplemented cream) for psoriasis. Now, he told me not to start using it and use Diprosal instead. As I searched, Diprosal is steroid. So, it is stronger than Proscutan?
