I had psoriasis VERY bad on my feet. Then it went to the palms of my hands. I was seen by three different doctors - the last dermotologist prescribing Dovonex and a steroid cream (sounds like Calcip or ??) anyway...
The combo of the creams (I had to put on both creams twice a day which was 6:00 - 12:00 - 6:00 - 12:00) was making my hands and feet worse, I swear! My hands were cracking and bleeding, same as my feet. I was in such pain I would wake up during the night from the throbbing.
I had been putting Vaseline on my hands, soaking my hands/feet in mineral oil - I tried EVERYTHING to get moisture into my hands and feet - NOTHING worked. I wore booties, I wore gloves. NOthing would keep moisture in my hands or feet. My hands were red, dry, cracked with cuts and bleeding.
THEN I heard about Aloe Vera Gel! I want to tell everyone! Guess what - it worked for me. I just bought it from a drug store, over the counter, no name brand.
My hands are still red but after only 5 days of using the gel - I have relief! For real! Spots on my hands go brown immediately and just flake off - it is unreal.
Anyone with this problem - believe me - give it a try. It sure worked for me. I believe the combo creams that I was prescribed actually made my hands worse. I see my dermatologist on Nov 22nd and I can't wait for her to see the change in my hands and feet!
