Exorex Lotion

Posted Tue 12 Jun 2012 08.33 by clare0210
I have had it on and off for 20 years.

Has anybody used Exorex lotion ? I am dire straits. My psoarisis has flared up & the Dovobet & Betnovate that I'd been prescribed hasn't been doing anything to help. Before my GP sends me for UV treatment, she is trying me with this lotion - so far - no noticeable change. Thanks, Clare :)

Reasonably mild at present. Mainly affecting elbows, calves and forearms

I am using it at present and getting through a fair bit of it as I am using it three times a day and my Psoriasis is pretty much all over.. My Psoriasis does seem to be fading but it is a very slow process. My Doctor prescribed me 6 bottles of the stuff and expressed the hope that a change would occur by the time I had used four of them. I am just starting the fifth bottle and hey presto yesterday loads of my Psoriasis was gone. Unfortunately it has returned today so I don't know if this stuff is working or not. The Dr says she will try something else if there is no change once the final bottle has been used. Let me know how you get on. Regards Mike

Just as an afterthought. I do not know about you but I am getting this stuff on prescription. I would strongly advise you to do the same - it is available over the counter but at a much higher price than a prescription.

I've been using it for years, and yes after LOADS of the stuff and putting it on twice a day every day it does calm it down and almost seems to make it go away....... almost, if you dont keep it up it does start coming back, maybe it will work for small patches but for me it returned every few days and after a while my skin seemed to get used to the lotion so i'd have a week off so it started taking effect again. Good luck!

Suffer from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Persevere with it - it worked for me, but it took a while.

i have been affect by psoriasis for 15 years now, since i was 8.Its been a very hard road for me and very up and down. I still cant cope wit

I have tried exorex and didnt like it, but thats just me with my psoriasis. I had the UV treatment for 2 months and it cleared it for over a year, its only recently come back, the UV is good but try not to rely on it, try as much as you can before that as you can't do the UV treatment very much as its not good for your skin regulary. good luck!

Hi Clare, i have been using Exorex at the same time as having UVB and had great results, stick with though even after your P has cleared up.

Hi Clare, I am using Exorex lotion on my elbows patches what is the most annoying thing and some days its helps, sometimes not. But I remember was working very well on beginning. Unfortunately did not do the job, because my elbows patches came back to be pretty red and flaky. Exorex lotion help to stop itching. thats all for me.

I have had the condition for twenty years. Worse in winter.

Hello Didn't work for me although I used it for ages and for a while thought the lesions had faded. Did not aggravate condition which is always a plus

I have been using Exorex lotion along with E45 anti itch cream,twice a day for 12 months, both on prescription and both work excellent. If I stop my Psoriasis returns after one day. I would strongly recomend the use of both creams
