I have a patch of psoriasis on hairline/forehead. Dovonex and dovobet cannot be used on the face. Any suggestions please? Thank you

Hi I’ve been prescribed Trimovate for sensitive areas which I’ve used around eyes, neck and forehead. Sparingly and not long term. Hope it works for you

I wouldn’t recommend any steroid creams, ultimately they thin the skin and it always comes back worse, in my experience anyway.

Always better to try and find the cause and trigger for yours. I find cutting all refined sugar eases mine but easier said than done. I currently have a stubborn patch on my hairline, about the size of a small coin. I apply coconut oil to help keep it moisturised. Vaseline also works to help lift the ‘dry bit’. Good for 24-48 hours until it flakes back over.

Might have to get my handheld UV machine out soon if I can’t get it under control.

For my face I was prescribed Protopic ointment, scalp and hairline Betaderm liquid and body, Mometasone Cream and for an odd spot, Betamethasone Ointment. Hobby: applying ointments. Drug of choice: steroids. Sigh. LOL

hi I have psoriatic arthritis . Occasionally my skin breaks down , normally on the scalp and at the hairline of my forehead . I use recover 15k cbd . It’s absolutely brilliant . I even have hair regrowth in these areas . Any flair ups I have had I have used this product . I swear by it . That and the 15k ninja for joints and tendons help keep me active and my skin great . I do also take Methotrexate and Sulfasalizine and have for a while . Hope this helps on my face it really has been trial and error
