DERMAREST Psoriasis Medicated Gel, 4 OZ

Very Effective. I should have written a review sooner but I find this product to work very well with calming my scalp. I use it when I get scabs and itchy areas on my scalp. I have Sjögren’s and I have flare ups on my scalp and if I start using this product, things calm down. It’s good to have found this because I had been using a prescription from my dermatologist which I found to be very strong and not as effective as this gel. It has lasted me and goes a long way. It’s easy to apply and the results are fast.

It's not a cure, but I don't want to take drugs to "cure" it. Those reported side effects are a bit too scary for me. It's just a topical treatment, but the best topical treatment I've found. There's no smell, the gel is ultra-easy to apply with its twist-to-open-and-close top (like the top on a bottle of Elmer's glue), it dries quickly, and it really, really helps.

It works to get rid of flakes, but goes very fast. I used up the bottle way to quickly for the price. Also the bottle is hard to squeeze when it starts to get empty. Beware if you have curly hair because you will flake off in your hair during the day which is gross. You have to be prepared to use it, flake, brush your hair and wash it again for scalp psoriasis. The take-away -- it does get rid of the flakes but is not a perfect product. If you have thin or straight hair it is probably great for you.

i have both ppp and plaque psoriasis. the plaque has recently spread, and i have been trying everything that has good reviews. some have helped and some have not. this has made a huge difference AND in less than a week. i have already ordered another bottle. it's the best AND the least expensive product i've used and it's not greasy and it doesn't smell weird (to me anyway . . . alcohol smell sort of). it has 3% salicylic acid and zink and both seem to make a huge difference. helps with itching and stinging and also helps the skin to "shed" and be smoother better than anything i've used in the four years since i've had this mess. i have used on my foot/ankle/soles/face/neck . . . and ALL have improved. i do NOT want to take the bioligics & other rxs that're advertised. the side effects sound as bad or worse than the psoriasis . . . everything from stomach issues to suicide!

I seriously can’t tell if it’s helping or hurting. When first applied - yes, it immediately masks and evens out the scaly patches and makes them disappear. If you try to remove them later, they slide off much easier due to the softening effect of the acid. The problem is what happens after - the skin gets so thin and crepey in the areas where you regularly apply the gel that they dry out and scale back almost immediately and now you’re stuck in a permanent loop. Such a strange product.
