Hello from Khonsu

[Khonsu]

Hi all,

I'm Paul from North Wales and I've had Plaque Psoriasis for just over 30 years. I don't get "attacks", it's just always there, and I've tried most lotions and potions over the years (with the exception of immunosuppressants - my general health has been good so I've always put that ahead of improving my skin) but not had a lot of success. I was under a dermatologist for a while but these days I just pop to see my GP if I need more Capasal shampoo - which I use as a shower gel as well as for my hair.

Every 5 years or so I look to see if there is anything new on the market and give it a go. This time it was my wife that found out about Enstilar and my GP put me on it 4 weeks ago. The results so far have been good, the flaking stopped within days and I think the redness is slowly improving.

I'm curious to know anyone elses experiance with Enstilar, and in particular what they did after the 4 weeks initial treatment had finished. And, of course, if I can be of any help to anyone else with advice about the condition in general, I'd be happy to give my view.

All the best,

Paul

Hi Paul and    to the club . It's good to read that you have had success with enstilar it's not something that I know much about although I have read it works better than the steroid creams and ointments.

Thanks for joining our merry band of sufferers and I'm sure your input will help others considering the same treatment

I don't know what the procedure is after the initial treatment period but I suspect it is that you stop, all steroids are designed for short term use ....

If I were you and depending on your coverage I would get referred back to a dermatologist as they have a lot more to offer these days

Hello Paul   to Psoriasis Club.

Matari has tried it and started a thread here: Enstilar it may be worth posting in that thread and ask him what happens after 4 weeks.

As for finding out what's new on the market. I make regular posts on all new treatments in Psoriasis And Psoriatic Arthritis Topics so you can subsrcibe to new threads in there if you wish, or follow @psoriasisclub on Twitter, or use the RSS, or better still pop in now and again to check for my posts with this image

Regards.

Fred.
