Understanding Psoriasis

Back to top

Knowing more about psoriasis
can help you focus on controlling it

If you have psoriasis, you’re not alone. Up to 7.5 million Americans are living with it every day.

Plaque psoriasis is the most common form. It’s characterized by raised patches of red skin, covered by white flaky buildup of dead skin. It can appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly is found on the knees, elbows, torso, and scalp. In fact, half of all people with psoriasis have it on their scalp.

Quality of life can be negatively impacted.

Many patients have feelings of helplessness, anger, frustration, depression, low self-esteem, embarrassment, and self-consciousness — often leading patients to miss out on life’s little pleasures like going to the beach, wearing shorts, or putting their hair up.

Psoriasis can also affect daily life, making it difficult for patients to do normal activities such as sleep, walk, use their hands, and even sit or stand for long periods of time. And studies have shown that people with psoriasis miss more than 55 million hours of work every year. The National Psoriasis Foundation continues to survey patients and they have found that of those who participated in the survey, 74% who reported missing work in the last month did so in order to receive treatment.

But there is hope.

While psoriasis is not contagious, it is a chronic condition for which there is no cure yet. However, it’s manageable and controllable. The key is finding the right treatment for you and your lifestyle.

Find out how Clobex® (clobetasol propionate) Spray, 0.05%, can work for you.

Using Clobex® Spray

Back to top

Targeted spray nozzle focuses
treatment exactly where you need it

Clobex® Spray is formulated so that it can easily and quickly dissolve into the scalp and body. And the nozzle on the Clobex® Spray bottle is specifically designed to help patients apply treatment exactly where it’s needed, with precision.

In a recent survey, 77% of patients reported that the directional nozzle made Clobex® Spray easy to apply.

Follow these simple guidelines to get the most out of your treatment:

  • Use Clobex® Spray exactly as directed by your doctor
  • Care for your skin to keep it as clean and healthy as possible
  • Make sure that your skin is clean and dry before applying treatment
  • Apply Clobex® Spray twice a day; use only enough to cover the affected areas. Rub in gently.
  • Wash your hands after using Clobex® Spray
  • Use Clobex® Spray for the shortest amount of time necessary to treat your plaque psoriasis
  • Do not use Clobex® Spray for more than 4 consecutive weeks unless your doctor tells you to
  • Do not use more than 26 sprays per application or 52 sprays per day
  • Do not use Clobex® Spray on your face, groin, or armpits or if your skin is thinning at the treatment site
  • Before using Clobex® Spray, tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, if you have a skin infection, or plan to have surgery. Also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are nursing (it is not known whether Clobex® Spray can harm your unborn child or passes into your milk).

How to use clobex® spray for scalp & body


FOR SCALP

Pinpointed treatment
reaches below the hairline

Pinpointed treatment

Half of all people with psoriasis have it on their scalp. And just like psoriasis on the body, it can be mild, moderate, or severe with plaques covering the entire scalp. It can even extend onto the forehead, back of the neck, and around the ears.

To apply Clobex® Spray to the scalp, part the hair and spray directly onto the affected area. For the best delivery, keep the bottle in an upright position.

FOR BODY

Widespread treatment
covers larger areas of the body

Widespread treatment

Plaque psoriasis can occur anywhere on the skin including palms, soles of feet, fingernails, toenails, and face. But some of the more common areas are the knees, elbows, back, and scalp. Clobex® Spray can cover large areas of the body like these.

To apply Clobex® Spray to the body, direct the nozzle toward the affected area, spray only enough to cover the area, and rub gently to ensure even coverage. Note: Do not apply Clobex® Spray to your face, underarms, or groin, and avoid contact with eyes and lips.

Caring for your skin

Back to top

Stay focused on your overall health.
It can help you stay in control of your psoriasis.

Caring for your skin, as well as your mind and body, can help reduce psoriasis discomfort. Here are a few suggested guidelines to follow:

Keep your skin healthy

  • When cleansing your skin, don’t rub too hard; this will irritate it. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat your skin to dry it. A gentle cleanser like Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is nonirritating and rinses off easily.
  • Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp; this helps trap moisture and keeps your skin soft and smooth
  • If you have scalp psoriasis, use conditioner after you shampoo to moisturize your scalp. Then rinse with cold water.
  • Apply moisturizers during the day and heavier lotions or creams at night, especially in dry weather. Cetaphil® Moisturizing Lotion and Cream are gentle, fragrance-free options.
  • Avoid scratching and never pick at lesions; it can make your psoriasis worse or even cause an infection
  • Apply a cold compress to itchy areas. A warm oatmeal bath may also help relieve itchiness.
  • Avoid hot water. Use only warm water on your skin.
  • Avoid cologne, perfume, body sprays, and scented bath products
  • Wear cotton clothing. Soft cotton is light and less irritating to your skin than other fabrics.
  • Use a humidifier in dry weather

Stay healthy overall

  • Eat a balanced diet; it’s necessary for physical health and healthy skin
  • Get enough sleep; it helps reduce stress
  • Don’t smoke. Research suggests that smoking can trigger psoriasis. Avoid using a nicotine patch to help you quit — it can also trigger psoriasis.
  • Use sunscreen every day. Sunburns are a known trigger for psoriasis.
  • Limit alcohol intake. Heavy drinking may trigger psoriasis and even prevent treatment from being effective.
  • Make physical activity a part of your daily routine

Maintain good mental health

  • Reduce stress. Many people with psoriasis experience flare-ups during stressful times. Yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques can be effective.
  • Be mindful of flare-ups and what may have triggered them. The more you know about your specific triggers, the better you can manage your psoriasis. (Be aware that it may take up to 14 days for a flare-up to occur.)
  • Don’t isolate yourself. Talk with friends and family to build a support system or join a local support group.
  • Learning about effective treatment options, like Clobex® Spray, can help put you in control
