Hello,
I have been prescribed elocon cream and an emollient to wash with for genital psoriasis, Elocon is for when I have symptoms, and the emollient is for everyday, but can anyone recommend a moisturiser that is safe to use in that area on a daily basis which will help to stop the skin drying out and prevent flare ups?
'Natural' options also welcomed!
Thanks,
H

I use this on a daily basic and it’s absolutely fine to use in the genital area
It looks expensive but it will last you ages, I find it soaks in really well and it’s none greasy
You can get it on prescription
Hope this is of some help to you

Dream cream from Lush works well for me.

Thank you! That is very helpful. I would also be interested to hear from women if there are any reading this!

Sudacrem or a similar nappy rash cream is what I used and it stopped it drying out and helped with any itching.

Have found coconut oil to be the best for just about everywhere.

Hi there.
I have it to. I use double base. Had psoriasis for 43,years now. My mum and daughter has it too. Been cleared since Christmas then January used a different shampoo I have never experienced a flare up for a long time. In 2 day's my head and body was completely covered.
Is a very slow process. But staying strong. Trimovate. Is very good as well.
