UPDATE: I have been back to the doctor today and told me that I can carry on having it but need to make it last at least a week as if I have it to regular it will flag up on cost so try and use it sparingly and she has prescibed it till end of month then have a rest from it and if need be start again. HAPPY.........
I buy prepaid prescriptions £29 for three months well worth it when your psoriasis flares up even get cetruben moisturizer on it

I know this will sound fussy but has anyone else found Enstilar just as greasy as dovobet when rubbed in?

Only been using mine about a week and it is greasy. Not sure how much foam you should use. Been covering the entire area. Just small patches on knees and elbows

Spray Enstilar on larger plaques in small doses (2 or 3 'blasts'). Leave for about 5 minutes, then rub in thoroughly. It should not be greasy at all. The effect seems to spread to smaller areas near those plaques.

I've been using enstilar since Monday but also at the end of the light treatment, I have had a big flare up on my back during the light treatment. Nurse took a pic of my back last night to show consultant next Tuesday, had the treatment last night and I've got terrible prickly heat, I'm using the enstilar just on my legs at the moment. I've had loads of topical creams tried methotrexate, cyclosporin, acitrectin I think the next step for me is injections, I find Balneium plus moisturiser is good I've been using all over I've even found its better for my face than all the steroid creams. Had ps for 40 years wish there was a cure.
Sorry to hear that Mrs Scott, have you tried aveeno cream to moisturise and aveeno shower gel, I find that helps, it's quite soothing. It was recommended to me by the nurse who did my light treatment.
Hope you get a break with it soon.

Yes I've tried the aveeno, I'm using Himalayan salts for bathing at the moment then the Balneium plus afterwards.its so uncomfortable at the moment with this burning and itching on my back, I'm taking antihistamines as well. People keep saying how well I look with the tan but I don't feel it at the moment. Ve got my last week of treatment next week will see what consultant says ..

I've not read the entire post sorry if somebody's already said this but I managed to get it prescribed by a dermatologist on the nhs just 2 weeks ago on the 1st August. Actually seeing my gp shortly hoping to get some more cause I'm running low, it seems to be working well! Hope you manage to get it prescribed

Hi people I am an extremely happy person at the moment into my second week with this foam and the transformation to say the least is astounding, my arms are almost clear just a little bit red, my legs and back, which were by far the worst are looking really good, cannot wait for my holidays now, shorts on without all the people staring, I have two weeks left of the treatment so will keep you all up to date. I really hope this works for everyone
Update on my use of ensilar, wow this treatment is awesome cleared it all up just got white patches pretty much cleared it in two weeks working away at the moment and for the first time in years I put my shorts and t shirt on and visited the gym what a difference not being self conscious makes to your mental health hope it works for everybody else

I've suffered with this condition for 43 years, tried almost every cream and ointment there is. I am currently day 3 of using ensilar and can see a big difference already. To be honest, it's very greasy and doesn't seem to soak into the skin but I think that's a small price to pay if it works. I would urge anyone to give this new treatment a try. By the way I got this on prescription from my GP in Leeds 😊
2nd Week in and all my flakes have gone, skin is now slightly pink in those areas. Ive got mine from a doctors in Chesterfield.
I was using the Dovobet ointment before with no success.
