For Plaque Psoriasis "I use Enstilar for my plaque scalp psoriasis. It's super expensive without insurance, like $1,080! But the actual foam itself is good. Didn’t completely clear up my scalp but definitely helps! Still have problematic spots all over, but it has broken down the majority of my plaque. I say plaque because my scalp was 90% covered in like a giant thick plaque, and I felt like I had the plague. I used this every day for 3 weeks, made my fine hair tacky and sticky. Tried plain old Dawn Dish Soap, used it in the shower a few times, and did the normal shampoo/conditioner routine after, and it helped SO MUCH!! I will say though it dried my scalp out, so I wouldn’t use it every day. But also, I found that heating some coconut oil, the one that’s safe for cooking and beauty use, up in the microwave, applying it to your hair with the Enstilar on it, before a shower, letting it soak in, then shower, WORKS AWESOME! Hope this helps anyone who is looking for a way to get this scaly stuff out of their hair!"

For Psoriasis "I have used Enstilar many times, and yes, it does work wonders in just a few days. I apply it every night and let it dry for 20 minutes before I apply moisturizer. I do this every day for 2-4 weeks, and then I go to just applying it twice a week. The only problem is that psoriasis starts coming back when I only apply it twice a week, and if I quit, then psoriasis gets even worse than it was to begin with. It is also so messy and sticky, so it is not that easy. I like it, but at the same time, I feel like it’s not worth it because psoriasis just comes back after a while."

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."

For Psoriasis "Pharmacist told it is foam. But when applied, it just gets all sticky, as if someone applied glue to your psoriasis. Used a couple of times, but no result."
