Hello everyone,

I'm desperate and looking for help. I have psoriasis on my face and would like to know if anyone has any ideas on treatment options.

Also, has anyone tried Protopic or Elidel? I've been prescribed this but due to some research, I'm afraid to use it.

Thank you in advance.

:)

I understand your misgivings about trying either one. Elidel has been linked to the risk of developing cancer. What does your doctor say? There are other creams out there, both over the counter and prescription.
Have you visited the National Psoriasis' website? Lots of information on there you can ask your doctor about. National Psoriasis Foundation
Also this from MedllinePlus: MedlinePlus: Psoriasis

Hello shygrneyzs,

Thank you for your reply. My dermatologist has told me to ignore the warnings regarding the two medications and I'm just not willing to do that. My gut tells me not to use them. I'm sure they are helpful to others and I'm not trying to discourage anyone from them, it's just not for me.

Thank you for the links I will have a look and see what others are suggesting and saying.

Thank you again :)
