5 out of 5 stars Best OTC for psoriasis   August 20, 2008
I had been using a prescription rx for psoriasis on my elbows for a couple of years .. they never looked that good. Well, after using this stuff, the difference is amazing. While the skin is still itchy, they look soooo much better. I am shocked. The only down side is that the ointment smells a little, but that is a small price to pay. I love this stuff. I ordered two more before I was even halfway done with my first jar.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing Product!   July 30, 2008
This is the best over the shelf product for psoriasis I have ever used. I used it & by the middle of the 2nd week the psoriasis was almost gone!


1 out of 5 stars No effect, at least for now   July 12, 2008
I bought this for my mother after I compared all the Psoriasis products on Amazon. I found Mg 217 Intensive Strength Medicated Tar Ointment for Psoriasis 3.8 Oz having the highest review start number by many people. So I bought it along with the shampoo , and another product by Mg 217.
My mother has used them for one moth, but there has been not even a tiny effect. In fact, the symptom has even turned worse, especially when she used the Tar Shampoo. After using this shampoo, she felt the itching and inflammation even got worse.

I saw somebody wrote something like "you have to keep using it until there is effect". But how long should one stick to one product? 1 month? 3 months? 1 year?

Psoriasis is very hard to be cured, and maybe other people will receive better effects after they use this product, but not for my mom. I gave 1 star for this product so that people after me won't all think it is THAT good.

This is the only cream, since prescription cortisone, that has worked. Keeps my red, itchy skin smooth and comfortable.

I have had psoriasis off and on for about 8 years. During this last year I had my worst outbreak. Both of my elbows were red and cracked. I started putting on Mg 217 and I noticed a big diffrence in a week. I am going on week two and my elbows look great. I can see that the skin is still a little thick but it is not red or noticable. I also have a patch on my knee about 2x3 inches. I have had this for over a year now. It has been so annoying all winter. Before the skin was really red, flakey, and cracked. Now it is pinkish, no flakes, or cracks. It seems to be getting a little better each day. I am really hoping that it totally heals it. Even if it just stays the way it is right now it is worth it. I will update in a month or so and let you know how it is going.
