"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!"

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."

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."

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!"

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 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!"

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."

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."

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."
