March 14, 20233 yr I think I am suffering from an initial state of psoriasis: obviously I will go to a dermatologist, but I would like to know if any of you have ever been affected by it and if it has healed over time.
March 14, 20233 yr It tends to be chronic. Mild Cases can be treated with topicsl drugs (ointments etc).

March 15, 20233 yr 17 hours ago, Tayida said: How you cure it? Daivobet ointment applied twice a day for four weeks. Psoriasis may reappear.

Fir the stronger ones that use Steroids and Urea you need a doctors prescription and you can only get it from a hospital or real medical clinic. For the psoriasis I have I use Dermovate cream with 10% Urea. It keeps the skin cells from growing to thick. However, you can not use it for to long as it makes your skin thin and you can end up getting bruise marks just from scratching very easy. I use Xamiol on my arms and scalp as well as Daivonex. I have splitches all over. It is an autoimmune disorder. The creams an ointments are not cheap at all. Go see a dermatologist to have it checked out.
March 15, 20233 yr Try Zema and get plenty of sunshine. https://www.udl.co.th/product/zema-lotion-ซีม่าโลชั่น/

I made an appointment for this Saturday: is it true that if I scratch the part affected by psoriasis and then scratch another part of the body, I can also infect the healthy part? It is currently evident on the right leg and I believe it has also appeared near the shoulder

It is currently evident on the right leg and I believe it has also appeared near the shoulder You are thinking of scabies not psoriasis. And indeed these pictures look like possible scabies and not at all like psoriasis. Bed bug bites are another possibility.

No you can not scratch one part of the body which has a psoriasis patch and then scratch another area causing it to spread there. With psoriasis if you scratch it, it makes the area scratched become inflamed and the spot can grow as well as causing bleeding. My psoriasis was caused due to an auto immune system issue after a surgery which also made me a diabetic. To keep the itching down so I do not scratch the itch as I was my dermatologist prescribed Hydroxyzine. Your dermatologist should be able to tell you what you have going on.

February 9, 20242 yr Dermovate cream I am having a hard time finding in pharmacies..... all say "no have" Only been asking around Pattaya,,, is BKK a better place to look in pharmacies for Dermovate cream?
February 9, 20242 yr 18 minutes ago, silicastorm said: Dermovate cream I am having a hard time finding in pharmacies..... all say "no have" There is a locally produced cream that claims to be exactly equivalent to Dermovate. It's called Clinoderm. Contains same substance (Clobetasol propionate): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clobetasol_propionate There seem to be many other brand names for this kind of cream around the world. 15 gr, 118 Baht Clinoderm in Thai script: Edited February 9, 20242 yr by KhunBENQ
February 9, 20242 yr When asking about medicine from home country it's a good idea to have a picture of package or leaflet to show and ask for "or similar". Some stuff in so many names in different countries.
February 9, 20242 yr But still there seems to be a Thailand version of Dermovate, Just that it almost 3 times the price (5 gr for 95). Maybe the reason why many pharmacies don't stock it.

February 9, 20242 yr Dermovate is a brand name. While it ecists in Thasliland do do literally dozens of locally made brands of the same thing. It would be a rare pharmacy that did not carry at least one. Stop asking by brand name and instead ask for Clobetasol cream. And write that name down to show them as Thais have their own way of pronouncing things and might not recognize yours.
