Does anyone know any creams or pills that actually work for psoriasis?

If you are lucky Dovonex (Calcipotriol) will work for you, at least for a time. If it fails, or the effects wear off one can fall back on either tar or dithranol. In severe psoriasis UV light is used, together with a sensitiser.





Potent steroids like Betnovate and Dermovate should be avoided and Dovobet ( Dovonex+ Betnovate) is at most for short term use. All of these produce skin thinning and marking and rebound flare up when you try to discontinue them.





Alternative remedies do nothing, most specifically homeopathy, it is always quoted by enthusiasts as helping conditions which spontaneously relapse and remit, as all patients eventually have periods when the condition goes in to remission anyway without any treatment.|||I have tried lots of things for mine, at first it seems to help but then it seems to become ineffective!!!
