Can you fully recover from psoriasis?

Psoriasis doesn't have a cure, but treatments can help manage it by easing symptoms and reducing disease activity. Lifestyle changes like managing stress can also lessen inflammation's effects on the body and lower the chances of it coming back.

Can psoriasis spread to others by touch?

Psoriasis is not contagious and does not transfer to others via touch.

Is it OK to pick at psoriasis?

Don't scratch patches or scales, as it can make psoriasis worse. Limit baths and showers to 10 minutes to help manage the condition.

Dovobet / Daivobet / Dovobet / Taclonex / Xamiol Gel (generic name: calcipotriol and betamethasone) is an antipsoriasis ointment containing two active ingredients: calcipotriol (related to Vitamin D) and betamethasone (a corticosteroid). It is prescribed specifically for plaque-type psoriasis, a condition in which skin cells become overactive, causing raised, rough, reddened areas covered with dry, silvery scales. Calcipotriol helps address the overactive skin cells, while betamethasone alleviates redness, swelling, itching, and skin irritation.

Dosage

A healthcare provider will instruct on the best way to apply the medication. It is typically suggested that the ointment be used once a day, preferably in the evening. When applying the ointment, avoid getting it on sensitive areas like the face, scalp, mouth, and eyes. If the ointment spreads far beyond the affected area, wipe it off with a clean cloth or tissue. To get the best results, it’s advised not to bathe or shower immediately after applying the ointment.

Caution

Treatment with this ointment may lead to increased calcium levels in the blood or urine, often due to excessive use. Signs of increased calcium in the blood include increased urine output, constipation, muscle weakness, confusion, and even coma. This condition is serious, and immediate medical attention is necessary. Once the treatment is discontinued, calcium levels typically return to normal. To prevent adverse effects, it is recommended not to use Dovobet on more than 30% of the body or to exceed 15 grams per day. It contains a potent steroid that should not be applied to specific skin areas prone to damage, such as the groin, armpit, under breasts, or to areas already damaged. Avoid extended exposure of treated areas to sunlight.

Storage

Dovobet ointment should be kept in a cool, dry place below 77°F/25°C. It is advisable to not store it in the refrigerator, as it may become difficult to spread. Avoid keeping Daivobet near a sink, on a window sill, or in the car. The tube of Daivobet ointment should be discarded one year after it is first opened, regardless of the expiry date. Please read our friendly tips on handling medicine safely.

FAQ

What causes a person to get psoriasis?

The exact cause of psoriasis remains unclear. It is believed to stem from an issue in the immune system, where cells that usually fight infections mistakenly target healthy skin cells. Scientists suggest that genetics and environmental influences contribute to its development.

Is the sun good for psoriasis?

Many individuals experience a significant reduction in symptoms during the summer in sunny, warm regions. The effectiveness of sunlight can be attributed to its UVB rays.

Is psoriasis fungal?

Psoriasis constitutes an autoimmune disorder; it is not a fungal infection or contagious in any way.

Read the information leaflet that comes with the medication.

If after applying some Daivobet, there is a sudden allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), with symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, making it difficult to breathe or swallow, or there is wheezing, hives, rash, blistering, or peeling of the skin, call a doctor or 911 right away, or go to an emergency room immediately.

Most people who use Daivobet do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.

Some of the side effects that have been reported include itching and skin peeling.

Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Plaque-type psoriasis: Dry, itchy, and raised skin patches known as plaques covered with scales are typical symptoms of plaque psoriasis. When diagnosing psoriasis, the doctor typically examines the skin, scalp, and nails for any indications of the condition. The doctor might need to take a small skin sample for microscopic examination.
