Psoriderm

[mynoduesp]

Hi, 

I was prescribed the following and wondered if anyone has tried the same :-

Psoriderm cream 225ml
          distilled coal tar 6% w/w
          lecithin 0.4% w/w
(Use once or twice daily)

Psoriderm emulsion 40% w/v bath additive 200ml
          distilled coal tar
(Use as needed)

Psoriderm scalp lotion shampoo 250ml
          distilled coal tar 2.5% w/v
          lecithin 0.3% w/v
(Use as a shampoo, daily if necessary)

I’ve had a pamper using all Psoriderm products today.
Not much to report as this is the first time I’ve ever used it (and found out I had psoriasis yesterday).
The packaging is nice. The bottles themselves are somewhat reminiscent of the 1940’s.

It stung a little in some areas as I applied it. 
I smell. The house smells. Everything smells. I’ve made no attempt to get rid of the smell as of yet. I read in some other parts of the internet that using a strong smelling shampoo after masks said smell. Though I fear this could be counterintuitive. 

I hope to update this thread with my progress as I go.

Good luck. I look forward to your updates, the last member using it never came back to update so it will be interesting to see how it goes for you.

Hi great to read of your experience of the coal tar products and hope you can get on with it and it works well on your skin
If however the smell is to much for you to bear then go back to your GP and ask for a change
.I will follow your progress with Interest

I have no experiences myself with that stuff, but I am still interested how you will be doing on it, Nym

I used to use coal tar products quite a bit, but they lost effectiveness gradually. When I started systemic treatment, I found tar based topical a useful adjunct.

Good luck.

Good Luck !!!

To a large extent it is luck getting a treatment that works we all keep looking for what works and reading through members introductions you will see that most go through several treatments some are lucky and get a fix with the first treatment but most move from one  treatment to another in the quest for finding something to control psoriasis long term
