Hoping someone can help me identify a medication

[Ddubya]

When I was 15 I had my first significant psoriasis outbreak. I was away from home for the summer so I went to a doctor I'd not seen before. He prescribed some sort of cream for me. It didn't come in a tube but in a 4oz white container with a screw on/off lid. It was was the consistency of hand lotion, quite runny, and was a whitish colour with a greenish/yellowish tint. I was instructed to apply it twice a day and it worked amazingly well and years went by before I had another outbreak. I have no idea what it was. it was so long ago that I have no way of finding the doctor (long retired) and asking him. I've tried many things since and nothing has been as effective as this medication was. I suspect it was not a steroid as the use instructions had none of the usual warnings that come with the corticosteroids medications, but I could be wrong.

If this description rings a bell with any of you please let me know what you think it might have been.

Thanks

Sorry rings no bells with me, it could be something native to your country. Have you tried describing it at your local pharmacy? they may be able to help.

This sounds like a cream they tried to sell me in Hurghada, Egypt when I was out there, although I wouldn't know what it was called.
