Hi...dear user..,
Thanks for choosing HCM.,
Dry scaly skin and skin gets red patches ...,
Usually due to .....PSORIASIS VULGARIS..,
It is genetically determined inflammatory disorder..,
very difficult to cure....! but can control...,
Previously used medicines are good ...and safe to use for long duration..,
Now...using of Gupisone 20 mg ...it contains Prednisolone , steroid..,
intially gives good result .., but long duration will worsen the condition..,
Acitirin and telfast....slowly shows better results..,
1) Use of Tars conaing creams will give better result..,
TAZAROTENE...it is retinoid if combines with low steriod will give good result topically..,
2) PHOTOTHERAPY...it is giving exciting results....Emolient application with MOP regimen....,
MELANOCYL....and ELOVERA-MF GEL..
3) Methotrexate... ...MEXT 7.5( wALLACE) pack for 3 months course..,
will give very good result..,
4) Sun Bathing...,
weekly SEA BATHING will prevent the recurrences..
thanQ

Hi
If you have itching, you perhaps are suffering from urticaria due to some kind of allergy. you may go for skin allergy tests and a blood test for Eosinophilia. Even a blood test is also done to ascertain the causative allergin. The drug Gupisone is a steroid and may help you but it is not advisable to take it for a long time or too frequently due to risk of serious side effects. The second possibility is Psoriasis for which you must consult a good dermatologist who may take a biopsy of the lesions and advise accordingly.
