For Plaque Psoriasis "I had the same experience as a few others, immediately (within a day) having redness, burning, and pain after applying. My dermatologist said I’m allergic to it! Also, not covered by insurance, so I’m just out the money I wasted buying it. Don’t purchase a script for it until you try samples first!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have been using Vtama for over 6 months now. It works! This is the only topical that has worked for me and cleared my skin. I have had some side effects of itching and hurting, but I have found ways to manage it. If it’s really bad, per my dermatologist's recommendation, I use Vtama in the AM and Clobetisol in the PM. I have also used topical Benadryl to help the itch, and after about 4 weeks, stop Vtama on the inflamed areas and only use Clobetisol. After a week or so, I am left with clear skin that stays clear! If you have side effects, please don’t give up, work with your dermatologist to do other things as I have, because this is the best topical to be FDA approved, ever!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I loved it at first, but then I have had the worst heartburn/pain in the middle of my stomach for the last five days. Had headaches and chills and some vomiting yesterday, and have stopped taking it. Glad it has worked for some people. In the five days I have used it, there was marked improvement, but the side effects outweigh the benefit for me."
