Hello, I hope it's okay to start a new thread. I tried searching to see if there was one for this topic, and didn't see one, but I'm new to the forum so could be wrong.
I have been on a corticosteriod (Clobetosal .05%) for the last 2-3 weeks for the first time in 17 years for fairly vigorous guttate psoriasis. The intent was just to give me a break, and boy have I enjoyed it! but now I need to taper off. Any advice? I figure I'll start with going to once a day, then every other day then after that maybe begin to add plain lotion to the bottle to weaken strength? Or is that last bit unnecessary?
I would like to hope that I won't have a massive flare as I taper off. I know it's a possibility. If at all possible, please do not reply with horror stories, because I want to remain positive and hopeful! Thank you for understanding.
