For Psoriasis "So, like many people here, I have had good results, but there are a few things to point out. This is a very potent steroid and needs to be used for short periods of time. It's meant to knock down a flare-up but is not a good long-term choice. It will thin the skin and cause stretch marks. I know from experience.

I've tried so many things, it'd take me forever to name them all."
