I've been dealing with scalp psoriasis and psoriasis on other parts of my body, and I've tried all sorts of medications, but it seems like they only provide temporary relief. Is there anything out there that might work as a permanent treatment? I'd love some advice on this as it's really been bothering me.

For scalp psoriasis and psoriasis, there is no permanent cure, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Topical treatments such as clobetasol propionate (0.05%) solution can be applied directly to the scalp to reduce inflammation and itching. In addition, systemic medications like methotrexate or biologics such as adalimumab can be prescribed by a dermatologist to help control psoriasis flare-ups. It is important to follow up regularly with your healthcare provider to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm dealing with some discomfort from tinea cruris. Could you recommend a medication that would help with this? I'm not sure what to use and I want to make sure I choose the right treatment.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.

I've noticed these white patches around both of her eyes. They start off looking scaly and dry before turning white. The doctor recommended we use tacrovera ointment, but Im really worried and curious about how long it might take for these patches to heal. Also, what exactly is causing these patches?

The white patches around the eyes with a scaly and dry appearance that later change color to white could be indicative of a skin condition called vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes), resulting in depigmented white patches. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the melanocytes. The doctor has prescribed tacrovera ointment, which contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that helps to modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation in the skin. It is commonly used in the treatment of vitiligo to help repigment the affected areas. The duration for the treatment of vitiligo with tacrovera ointment can vary from person to person. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding the application of the ointment and attend follow-up appointments for monitoring progress. In general, it may take several weeks to months to see visible improvement in the white patches, and complete repigmentation may take longer. It is essential to protect the affected areas from sun exposure and follow a healthy lifestyle to support the treatment process. Additionally, maintaining good skincare practices and adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen can help optimize the outcomes.
