9.0
For Psoriasis: It works because it has steroids. Steroids reboot the immune system. Steroids can also cause problems so use as little as possible. .. you will figure it out. |
7.2
For Dermatitis: I have used this drug for 20 years and it was effective for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis with no side affects. For Dermatitis: This cream is fabulous. I used it in combination with Cetaphil lotion and it soothed my skin and lessened the itching. My skin didn't look as inflamed/raised as before. |
