For Plaque Psoriasis "I have been on almost every lotion, cream, and shampoo for psoriasis. New dermatologist gave me a full-size sample of Enstilar. After 9 years of picking, scratching, and cursing, I cried with happiness. After less than a week, my ears were clear. No itching, burning, or picking. My primary doctor said it's a miracle. I agree. Now it's time for more, and I know my insurance won't cover this, so I checked out-of-pocket cost, I almost had a stroke and heart attack. Without insurance, it's up toward $3,000.00. With a RX discount card, it's $1,200 - $1,600.00. I guess my ears will start looking like a vacant lot with 4 ft of tall grass... NASTY. Any help would be appreciated, I'm too old to die like this."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I suffer from severe atopic dermatitis. Over a year ago, I developed psoriasis on my scalp, behind my ears, and on my forehead! I had been to my GP many times, he just kept telling me it was my eczema that had affected this and triggered it! He just kept prescribing me steroid creams. I eventually got a dermatology appointment in the hospital. They prescribed me Enstilar, and no joke, after one application, it removed all flakes and hard, lumpy skin on my scalp. Four days of using it and my psoriasis is completely gone! Even the itch and the redness! I will continue to use this once a week to keep it all at bay. But I would 100000% recommend it."

For Psoriasis "My doctor prescribed this treatment, and it worked very well until I ran out or missed a day. Now my psoriasis has come back worse than it was before. I can’t keep up! The patches on my face hurt and are splitting, bleeding, and raw, the rest of my body (I’m covered head to toe) is itchy, scaly, and red. I could deal with it before with the steroid cream, but now there’s too much to cover. Don’t let the doctor give this to you, you’ll regret it."

For Plaque Psoriasis "Had mild to moderate psoriasis for 15 years, tried every cream going, even Dovobet, which was useless. After reading this forum, I learned about Enstilar, so I mentioned it to my doctor, who prescribed 2x 60 mg cans of foam Enstilar for use over a 4-week period. Noticed results within days. After week 1, developed nasty side effects, i.e., rashes and unbelievable itching that kept me awake at night. Even so, stuck with the once daily treatment, and by week 4, psoriasis was almost gone. After week 5, side effects went together with any remaining psoriasis. This really is a miracle treatment. I read how many people found the application of the foam greasy, but if you want it enough, you put up with it, and yes, it even got rid of my scalp psoriasis, which was also in my ears."
