Enstilar Foam

| 7 min read

Enstilar Foam should be used until the skin is no longer inflamed and then intermittently as required. It may not completely eliminate the psoriasis but should make it flatter and less red. As an example you may need to use for a week at first then 1-2 times per week for a couple of months, but gradually less over time. Shake the can for a few seconds before use, spray onto the surface of the skin and gently rub into the affected area. Wash your hands after applying the foam.

Important information about topical steroids

• Topical steroids are generally safe if used as described above, however, particularly if used in large quantities daily for long periods of time, can cause loss of pigmentation, redness, broken blood vessels, thinning of the skin (which can have the appearance of stretch marks) or acne/folliculitis. All of these side effects can be permanent.
• If you notice any signs of this then you should stop using the topical steroids and inform me.
• Topical steroids can also increase the risk of reactivation of the herpes (cold sore) virus and you should not apply to areas of skin where there is skin infection or cold sores present.
• As for any medication it is essential to read the information leaflet that comes within the packaging and contains a full list of all recognised side effects.
