I believe my doctor prescribed isotretinoin drugs as I had complained of too much of oil in my face and too much of pimples (acne).
Now coming to your questions:
1) As I have mentioned above, I am sufferring from scalp psoriasis since 3 years.
2) I take Winolap 5mg whenever I feel itching is high. Otherwise I take the medicines which my doctor prescribed, Isoacne 20 (which I believe is isotretinoin, twice a week), Immunorm, LZ 5.
\n3) I have been taking several medicines in the last 3 years and above mentioned are those I have been taking for the last 2 months.
\n4) I have been taking several medicines in the last 3 years and above mentioned are those I am taking now.
\n5) The side-effects I feel I am having now and was not having before taking these drugs are, headaches at times, loss of hair and dry lips.
\n6) I get a good relief until I stop/the prescribed quota gets over. Then again I get the same problem. I have to visit the doctor, get some more medicines for relief.
\n7) I do not actually find any lesions on the body, it is just on the scalp but at times I suffer from slight itching in the body.
Doctor, please do answer my questions:
1) Is there a permanent remedy to get rid of psoriasis?
2) Since I am not aware of the other side-effects, should I take blood tests to find if I have increased levels of cholesterol, diabetes and platelet count decrease?
\n3) Does taking winolap 5mg pose any side-effects as that is the only medicine that comes to help in case of severe itching?
