Does anyone know what steroid would help psoriasis. My doctor gave it to me once before for an ear infection, but now will not perscribe it to me because of liver damage effects. I am looking for the name. Thanks.

Ah shit........ about 15 y ago, i had psoriasis on my scalp. I got Beta.. or Beca.... or something-asone. I'll look in my med book and see if i can find it.
are you sure it just wasnt plain cortizone shots you were getting?
a long time ago the doc gave me these shots in my scalp for this same problem. now there are all kinds of meds, such as betamethasone, which is marketed under the brand name of diprolene, topical creams that do a great job.

I didn't get shots. It was either beta or becla....sone. it came in a bottle similar to nasel sprays.
Thanks guys, I posted this for a friend. I will ask him about that beta sone thing and also about the others. If any of you other readers can shed some more light on this... it would be great! Thanks Board!!!
Hey Mugs,
Psoriasis is mainly a psycosomatic problem.
Tell your friend to try tanning a couple of times per week, and 1% hydrocortizone cream in aloe.
That should help.
