Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "I found that my plaques were softened by the scalp oil. I found the scalp oil easy to wash out in a single washing. Those were positives. I stopped using it for the simple reason that I couldn't sleep. I wear a night guard for my teeth grinding and a CPAP for sleep apnea. By the time I put the thing in my mouth for my teeth, oiled up my head, placed a shower cap, followed by the CPAP, I felt smothered and found it difficult to sleep. The addition of oil and the plastic hat (which is noisy) made my CPAP slip off and require attention frequently in the night. Bedtime was a circus, and scalp oil was a challenge I couldn't keep in my routine."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "I got a zero co-pay coupon for this medication and have been using it for about 8 months now with little relief from psoriasis. It's greasy, takes a while to apply to all my areas, and doesn't work any better than regular lotion for me."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "Like others have said, it's a foam, but it's sticky like glue. It helps a little bit in keeping flare-ups at bay, and it may get rid of some very small spots, but it's not going to do much for any large, inflamed patches."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "This stuff is the only thing that works for me. I live in a sunny country and still get it on my face, jawline, and around the ears. When I start to feel it coming back, I spray this once a day for a few days, and it’s gone. Same effect on the genital region too. Elbows and knees are more stubborn, and it’s like 40 bucks a can, so I only use it when it starts to itch. I tried the oil-based version of this, and it’s not as effective, there’s something with the delivery medium in the can that makes it work."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have only used Enstilar for about 2 months, and so far it hasn't helped me, but I don't use it often because of the issues below. 1. Skin feels like you sprayed glue on it..sticky, can't dress until you stop sticking. 2. Spray is messy, goes everywhere, and hard to hold the can and spray on awkward spots. 3. Foam comes out ice cold, which is painful to psoriasis. This one is nutty to me. 4. Horrible to wash out of hair. Did this once, never again. Might be more effective if it was in a big tub, NOT a tube."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "Taclonex suspension worked, but the cost was out of this world!! Can drugs had only Taclonex gel, and I don't like it at all. Cost was 200.00!! Made my scalp worse, and it's too greasy!! Been looking for help, but 2 doctors were not any help. Next, I'll try Mexico. Gotta be some relief soon."

For Psoriasis "I had psoriasis on the bottom of my right foot for years. Nothing helped it. My doctor prescribed this ointment. I use it 2x a day. Within a week, there was dramatic improvement. The scales and redness disappeared, and I no longer scratched my foot raw and bleeding. Thank you for discovering this ointment combination. I'm a believer."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "Have been using for psoriasis on my feet for a week now. The cold spray feels good to my itchy, dry, cracked feet. I can already tell it is working faster than the Clobetasol ointment I have used for years. I paid $75 for one 60-gram can. More than I want to pay, but better than other prices I am seeing here."

For Plaque Psoriasis "After almost 5 years on Cosentyx, I had a pretty bad flare-up of plaque psoriasis. The usual topicals weren’t helping. My dermatologist told me to try Wynzora for 8 weeks. By week 3, I saw drastic improvement - no side effects."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "I just started using the product for a week. Not sure if I'm using it correctly. I'm doing what the doctor told me, and that was for two weeks to apply a thin coat to the affected area. So far, after one week, things look good. He said after the second week is done, I'm to use it sparingly and use 6 cream or ointment unless I see an outbreak. Tell me, interesting and concerned about this foam spray that I'm using is that it's freezing cold - like freezer burn - freezer burn is about the only way I can explain it. It's not so, to me, it's more dry and absolutely frigid cold. I don't know if this is normal 'cause my doctor didn't say anything about that."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "It is very helpful to clear out any sign of psoriasis in a short interval of time (2-3 days), but the signs keep returning over and over again. I prefer something more useful over the long term. Still, good job!"

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "I’ve had psoriasis for about five years now and have been recently prescribed Taclonex. I have to say it is amazing and really helps my scalp psoriasis. Although, it is important to wash hair once a week with a strong anti-plaque shampoo, as Taclonex can only do so much for so long."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "I was a psoriasis sufferer for over 30 years, tried all the creams from A-Z, nothing to write home about. Then I tried Enstilar, the product was amazing, but I needed to maintain my psoriasis daily, which I am not good at. Then Skyrizi gets approved, and within 3 months (2 injections for starters, then 1 every 3 months), I am completely clear for over a year."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical "I have previously used Daviobet Gel for my scalp psoriasis, which worked well and was very easy to apply and wash out. Unfortunately, this is no longer available, and I was given glowing reports about Enstilar by my GP, who said it was easy to use as it was a foam and much more effective because of a higher dose of steroid, etc. I'm sorry, but I hate this! It is not as effective for me, is time-consuming to apply properly, and a nightmare to wash out. PLEASE make Daviobet available again!"

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "I thought it was doing a fantastic job, but then I developed folliculitis from the sheer greasiness of this product. It isn't easy to wash out, and then it plugs up all the follicles on your head. So it works but then causes another problem, which was as equally worse as the original problem. It needs a different medium to transport the active ingredients."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "Fast relief, then prolonged lighter itching, so unsure if the residue of psoriasis or prolonged effect of Enstilar. Tricky to judge when to tail off the treatment. Side effects for me are constipation and irritability."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "This is the only stuff that has worked for me over the last 25 years or so, since I started suffering from psoriasis. Like many people with the condition, I was embarrassed to wear shorts and a T-shirt, but Enstilar cleared the plaques, redness, and itching up within a few days. I use it sparingly, and I don’t find the foam a problem or too sticky. Miracle cure for me, but I can see from some reviews that it doesn’t work for everyone. I haven’t used it on my scalp yet. I have some calcipotriol liquid that evaporates quickly when applied to scalp/hair, but it hasn’t worked too well. I’m thinking of trying Enstilar, but can see people have had issues washing it out, so I might just live with it and be happy the rest of my body is clear. Use sparingly. Fantastic results!"

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "This foam does not work for me. Initially, it did help somewhat with easing the appearance of psoriasis on my forehead, turning it a pale pink color, however, it’s still there. I also have spots on my hands that this product will fade temporarily. The product does not absorb completely, so it leaves skin feeling greasy. Impossible to use on scalp without it getting stuck in my hair, it takes about three washes to get the oil out of hair. Helps lift flakes that are present at the time of application, but they grow right back. No improvement at all on my feet or heels. The only reason I’m using this is for a little relief, but the more I use it, the less effective it is. I keep hoping it will work, but it doesn’t. My hands, arms, legs, and scalp are covered in plaques that just won’t go away. This medication seems more suited for a patient with a couple of large plaques."

For Psoriasis "Had psoriasis since being a child on my legs and stomach. Nothing worked. Used this combo ointment of betamethasone with calcipotriene and all evidence of psoriasis gone in a week and hasn’t yet returned over a year later. Cost me £9 on the NHS. In the UK."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "Can’t seem to get it to work that well. I can’t believe some are paying so much for the stuff! I live in Northern Ireland and get it free of the NHS! Healthcare sucks elsewhere, I guess! Fighting psoriasis is a bloody nightmare!"

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Psoriasis "100% improvement and I have tried for 20 years to stop the flaking all over the house. I can wear a sleeveless shirt every day now. I wish I was a rep for this remedy. My experience has literally been life-altering! So far I have experienced NO noticeable side effects."

Betamethasone / calcipotriene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "After 37 years, I have tried all the shampoos, creams, oils out there. I am still refusing biologics though... the stuff can give you lymphoma, no thanks. My dermatologist gave me samples of Taclonex topical suspension, and I liked it right away. I like that it stays on long enough to soften my plaques. It eases some of my relentless itching immediately so that I can sleep. I paid 40 dollars for my prescription because I called my insurance ahead of time to get it approved, that saved me 1200 dollars. It worked well for me when I got samples, here is hoping it continues to work for a while."
