Title: Re: New Xamiol Gel for Scalp Psoriasis ost by: weedrea on June 18, 2009, 09:02:58 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, first time poster, so go easy on me!! I've just been prescribed Xamiol and I note that I should only use it for a max of 4 weeks. I've used it for nearly 2 weeks now and my psoriasis is all but clear. Should I stop with the Xamiol and use it when it flares up again, or should I use it for 4 weeks and then stop?
It's the first treatment I've had that has helped, but I don't want to use it so much that its effectiveness is reduced next time I get a flare up...
Any thoughts!? My doc was very unclear about it (I think I was maybe the first person he'd prescribed it too!!) so thanks to this thread for educating me!!

ps. it's a hell of a oily, greasy treatment in your hair....anyone found a good shampoo for getting your hair clean again?!

The doctor put me on this a couple of weeks ago. I didn't find it helped me (made my scalp itch more than usual ??? ) but to wash it out is an absolute nightmare too... you end up with a greasy head *after* trying to wash the stuff out. Not a good look for work :
