Can Moisturex Cream be used for psoriasis?
Yes, Moisturex Cream may be used as a supportive treatment for psoriasis, especially if you have dry, rough or scaly patches of skin. It contains urea and lactic acid, which help soften and remove thick scales, while light liquid paraffin and propylene glycol moisturise the skin and reduce dryness. However, Moisturex Cream does not treat the underlying inflammation that causes psoriasis. It is mainly used to improve skin hydration and reduce scaling, and is often used along with medicines prescribed by a dermatologist, such as topical steroids or vitamin D creams. Apply the cream as directed to the affected areas, and avoid using it on cracked, bleeding, or severely irritated skin, as it may cause a mild burning or stinging sensation. If your psoriasis is widespread, painful, or worsening, consult a dermatologist for an appropriate treatment plan.
