Facial psoriasis
Posted Thu 10 Nov 2022 14.05 by josh93
Eumovate has stopped working on my facial psoriasis. Is their anything else I could try? Have been waiting 8 months for a dermatology appointment and doesn't look like I will get the golden ticket to an appointment anytime soon.
I read some american's saying they use Tacrolimus/Protopic ointment, have also purchased a handheld uvb lamp (although the handheld uvb lamp was ineffective last time I tried, but desperate for a clear face so I don't become an agoraphobic depressive again)
Other than eumovate, protopic and handheld uvb, what else could I try on my face that I could get from a GP?

For facial psoriasis, I have encouraging experience with "Advantan Cream" (Methylprednisolone aceponate 0.1% w/w), ask your GP for prescription.
It is a small 15g tube which last for months.
Mine brought complete relief within 2 weeks (quite severe case). Though it comes back infrequently, repeat application still does the job (clear face).
No other medication that I tried was effective to the least degree.
Cheers and think positive.
