just saying hi

[lizamcl]

Hi my name is Liza and I have had psoriasis for 7 years now. I had tried every cream then light treatment but only got 2 days clear after light treatment so stopped everything and gave up trying to fix this as nothing worked.
I went to GP last week who prescribed me Dovobet again. I had not used anything for 3 years and my psoriasis was awful. One week later after using Dovobet I have honestly only slight pink patches of a shadows where the flaky red psoriasis had been. Actually cant believe it!!!

Thought I would come on here and say as I vowed the minute I found something that worked I would share it with other suffers.

I know I might stop this Dovobet as I'm to only use for 4 weeks and it could come back straight away but I'm keeping everything crossed it works.

My psoriasis was particularly bad on my hands and was very noticeable. I had lots on my legswhich isnt as clear as my hands yet but I could hide my legs.

Dovobet did not work for me before so I'm amazed it worked this time. I'm sure it is stronger than the one I was presciped before as I didnt have to stop the other Dovobet after 4 weeks so possibly a different strength.

If like me you have not used this strength of Dovobet speak to your GP as it has honestly made me so happy. Even if I do only get 4 weeks clear it will have been the best I have felt about my self for ages xx

Hello Liza and

You could be getting Dovobet and Dovonex muddled up see this thread: Dovobet And Dovonex (What's the difference ?)

Dovobet is good, but you should be careful with it as it can thin the skin.

Regards.

Fred.

Hi Fred,

I think you might be right and I am getting them mixed up. I have always worried about thinning of the skin with these ointments and really one of the main reasons I stopped using everything for 3 years.

Very pleased I found this site as its great to read others experiences!

Thanks Liza

You're welcome Liza, just be extra careful with Dovonex. come off it slowly and don't use on sensitive parts, or the face.

Glad you found us, if you pop by the Off Topic section you will find I'm the sensible one
