The treatment just provides temporary relief , but it has to be continues. Overall though it makes it bearable for the patient.

its what im using right now and its really good i applied it on my skin only twice and made it clear off completely. now im considering applying on my whole head.
Working / Worked
Using Luxiq foam for scalp. Very expensive, but with diligence, it is clearing nicely. Does come back though after a week-10days. I can tell when I need to start using it again. Like the foam application, does not leave residue in hair, can put it on after shower, then fix my hair with no problems.

Very good treatment. Might sound funny but i applied at night with an emolient and wrapped with clingfilm(saran wrap) as per instruction from dermatologist- really works!

Steroids are still my main drug of choice. You have to know how, when and where to use them.

However I dont want to sue it as it damages to skin in the long term.
Working / Worked
Worked quite well kept my skin plaques from building up too badly. Just made my skin very sensitive to touch and i still bruise easily. But worked very well.
