According to the manufacturer, all products are steroid-free and contain ingredients to reduce redness, itching and irritation. Consult your medical care provider before using Dermares,t as some individuals with existing health conditions, such as liver and kidney problems, may suffer adverse reactions from the ingredients in the medication. Follow the treatment recommendations closely to attain the maximum benefit from the products.
Step 1
Purchase the Dermarest product that best fits your needs. Individuals with psoriasis of the scalp will benefit from the shampoo plus conditioner or scalp treatment products. Individuals with psoriasis of the skin may prefer the moisturizer or the overnight treatment.
Step 2
Shake the product gently to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 3
Apply a quarter-sized amount of shampoo plus conditioner to your hand. Gently massage it into the hair and scalp. Avoid rubbing too long. Allow the product to sit for two to three minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Be sure to dry your hair adequately after the shower and avoid using extremely warm water, as this will only increase the dryness. Repeat this process once per day.
Step 4
Twist open the flow-control cap of the scalp treatment. Apply the product directly to the scalp one to four times daily or as directed by a doctor.
Step 5
Wash the area of the skin where lesions are present. Shake the moisturizer product gently and apply it to the affected area one to four times daily unless directed otherwise by a doctor. A thin layer of product is sufficient. Wash your hands after application.
Step 6
Use the overnight treatment before bed. Wash the treatment area with soap and water and dry it by gently patting with a towel. Apply a small amount of product over the affected area. Allow it to dry until a film appears. Do not use this product more than four times in a 24-hour period, per Dermarest.com.
