Having looked up what it is - it seems to simply be simply an anti-fungal treatment. According to a couple of sites it is used in the US when they think you have a fungal infection as well as psoriasis. I have recurring psoriasis in my groin that sometimes takes weeks to get rid of. It presents as a combination of a fungal infection and psoriasis. In the early 80s I really struggled to get rid of it and antt-fungal alone was not effective. I forgrt what my current doctor said it was called, he mentioned that women sometims get it just under the breasts, in the skin folds against the chest wall. These days (5-10 years) I used Triderm ointment (but I am not sure it is available any more) and most recently (4-5 years) I use Trimovate ointment and Elecom. This combination works excellently for me. Once it begins healing I stop the elecom but contunue the trimovate. Once the skin is clear I continue the Trimovate for 3 more days, then I use a good antifungal alone for 5 more days. After that, I have discovered that if I use nothing more, it returns in about 3-5 weeks. BUT if I use a medicated (anti-fungal) powder after every shower, it does not return for months. I used to use Lanacane which sadly was discontinued a couple of years ago. Instead I now use Cuticura or "Gold Bond extra strength" (available online). I went away working a few weeks ago and forgot to take my Gold Bond with me. After 5 days the irritation began in my groin again. I do not know the exact mechanism, but it seems that if i keep the area treated with powder, it keeps the fungal infection away. If the fungal infection flares, then it seems to trigger the psoriasis. I do not think it is the other way round, but i could be wrong.
