Hi,
I've been on Enstilar for 4 weeks now and am really happy with its results so far - the scaling has stopped and I think the redness is reducing. Fearing a "bounce" (I tried Dovabet years ago with rather poor results) I have limited the Enstilar to use just on my lower half but so far it all looks quite stable. I'm wondering what I should do now. I'm no longer under the care of a dermatologist, having been prescribed Enstilar by my GP after I had specifically asked for it, so I'm not sure what steps to take now that my lower half has come to the end of a 4 week cycle. I'm thinking go for it with my top half but I don't know how long I can leave my lower half untreated before the scaling returns!
I remember when I was trying Dovabet I was told by my dermatologist at that time to just keep using it, there was no time restriction, but I was limited by the quantity they allowed me to use. I've only used about 80g of Enstilar so far (one and a third cans), so I'm well below the maximum 15g/day.
I was wondering if anyone else on Enstilar had got into any kind of routine that I could use as a starting point?
All the best,
Paul
