| Treating Eczema, Psoriasis of the Body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most eczema and psoriasis sufferers have found that Betamethasone (Diproprionate) 0.05% to be the best among brand formulations (old and new) of steroidal topicals for treating eczema and psoriasis of the body (not to mention the fact that in a pinch it can even be used on the scalp)
The Top 3 Treatments for Relief of Eczema and/or Psoriasis of the Body: 1. Betamethasone (Diproprionate) (RX only for use on body, scalp—but not on face)
2. Organic Aloe Vera Gel (for use on and applied to face, body, scalp)
3. The Old nurse's Rememdy: Plain/Pure Nursery Jelly (for use on and applied to damp skin—face or body only—not on scalp unless scaling is present).
----------- Important Notes: When seeking prescribed topicals only one prescribed steroid cream received rave reviews 100% of the time in terms of promoting healing and providing relief from the unpleasant itchiness. The others were reviewed as fair to unsatisfactory.
1. The best topical steroid cream was reported as: Betamethasone (Diproprionate) 0.05%
2.The worst topical steroid creams were reported as Dexametasone (aka Topicort?), Triamcinolone, clobetasol and fluocinide)--Now, in minor cases all eventually worked, but only Betamethasone provided prolonged relief in conjunction WITH healing in terms of treating/minimizing or reducing severe itchining in both, minor AND more serious or prolonged cases.

| Best treatment of/for hyperkeratosis (very mild (less than 3%) to moderately severe): Salex 6% (6% Salicylic Acid) Cream (in most cases 6% cream formulas found to be more effective than 6% lotion formula—Note, even if you accept the generic, always ask for the brand name Salex 6% Cream to ensure you get the proper formulary generic equivalent or substitute). -------------------------------------------------------
Best Vitiligo treatment protocols: 1). Proper nutrition and health management (Vitiligo is typically associated with B12 deficiency, thyroid deficiency and adrenal insufficiency as well as obesity and all of these things should be checked) and also Stress Reduction (yoga, meditation, etc) for those with less than 8% total dermus prevalence issues (ideally being type I/fair or type II skin tones) 2.) Depigmentation therapy best for those with NATURALLY light complexions (Type I/Fair OR Type II) and 3.) Sunless tanning therapy, best for those with natural mocha to deep skin tones (Type III, Type IV or Type V skin type classifications).
It is important to note however, that natural type I/Fair bka pocelain (i.e., chalk white, milk white) tones do NOT actually tan at all [(i.e., in direct sunlight or if exposed to artificial uva/b rays (as in tanning beds), but sunless tanners to provide coverage, although typically most fair skinned people do not affect a tanned appearance], however the inclusion is merely a jusxtiposition related to the fairest type being included in the general treatment for natural biological skin types lighter than types III, IV and V, in terms of the appropriate medical course of treatment be it theoretical OR actual as type I/Fair skin tones do not experience natural or/and abberant pigmentary changes in color and in this case without addressing the source/s of the pigmentary dysplasia (however temporary) As it would require a more thorough investigation and exam.
