I'm having trouble finding this product, and I'm wondering if you could recommend something else with similar ingredients? It contains calamine, allantoin, and vitamin E lotion. What should I look for as a substitute?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can consider substitutes like Calora Lotion or Calasoft, which have similar compositions, including calamine, allantoin, and vitamin E. These lotions provide relief from itching, promote skin healing, and offer moisturizing and antioxidant benefits. Always consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before switching to a new product.

View allI'm dealing with psoriasis, and over the last month, I've been feeling quite lazy, experiencing uneven breathing, some tingling in my feet, and there's pain on the right side of my stomach. My B12 levels are really low at just 97. I'm considering taking a B12 sublingual supplement to help and was looking into the Deva vegan B12 with folic acid and B6 sublingual tablets. Do you think that's a good option for me, especially since I have allergies to certain salts?
focus on correction of vit b12 and vit b6

Ive been struggling with severe skin damage for the last 3 years. My family doctor initially prescribed Melalite XL, which I used on my face and neck. Unfortunately, I've now developed dark patches on my chin and cheeks. They look really bad, and it's been really frustrating not finding any relief despite consulting various skin doctors. Could you please guide me on what else I can do to improve my skin condition?

I'm a bit worried about my left hand. My fingers have become really cracked and dry, to the point where they burn and bleed, and it only happens during the winter months. The weird thing is, it's just my left hand and not my right. I've used eczema lotion, and it helps a bit if I slather it on before bed, but my fingertips end up feeling like a cat's paw pad, almost like I don't have fingerprints. I do have mild psoriasis on my scalp and back, so I'm wondering if this could be related or something else entirely. Since it started last year around this time, and now it's happening again, I'd love some insight into what might be going on. Any ideas?
You may be experiencing a condition known as hand eczema, which can be exacerbated by psoriasis. To help with the dryness, cracking, and discomfort, I recommend using a prescription-strength corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol (0.05%) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion multiple times a day to keep your skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and wear gloves when doing any tasks that involve getting your hands wet. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
