Psoriderm coal tar cream alternatives
Posted Tue 6 Oct 2020 13.05 by FredL
I have just started using Psoriderm and it seems to be helping but the smell and stains on clothes/bedding are not good - are there any less smelly/non staining alternatives ??

i have not found any of the creams ( those that do anything anyway ) that do not stain the bedding .
It's a small price to pay if you find something that works , I always buy plain pillow cases and change them every other day and put them in a bucket of warm water with washing soda helps keep the grease stains at bay

Thanks.
If nothing that doesn't stain, have you found anything, that works, that doesn't smell??

All the coal tar based treatments smell of coal tar.
To protect bedding (even with steroid treatments) , some people wear loose cotton pyjamas. I never do but apply the ointments a couple of hours before going to bed so they "soak in"

I have heard from some people it is helpful to wrap joints in cotton bandages or cling film
