Elizabeth, It is a prescription cream. They try to charge a fortune for at pharmacy. My dermatologist got mine through mail order. It has cleared my hands and feet for about a month now.

Elizabeth, I was on the Abbvie plan for Skyrizi, but only took the two starter doses and one maintenance dose. Yes, I was getting it free through their program. It did not seem to be helping and I had to have surgery on my breasts so the surgeon asks me to get off of it to build immune system. I had successful surgery on both breast on a benign condition that just kept abcessing over and over. Since surgery, April 5th, I have been using the VTAMA cream on my palms and soles of my feet. That's where I have mine called Palmoplantar pustulis psoriasis. It has cleared them for now. Praise the Lord Jesus everyday there isn't scales on my hands and feet. My scalp had been itching, and my dermatologist thought it was the beginnings of scalp psoriasis, but so far I have no red or scales on my head or hair. It is just all so scary and unpredictable. Have a good day.💪😊

Pitac2, Thank you. It feels good to have my hands and feet clear for however long it last. I already have the h.s., so yes, I have two autoimmune diseases now. The hidradenitis suppurtivia is active in groin and still under my breasts. It is not flaring bad, just occasionally with much smaller cysts. Most don't even have any pus in them. So, I think the Humira helped that condition, but gave me psoriasis as a bonus, LoL I am thankful that I got surgery to stop the breast from abscessing from the nipples. It took 4 years to get a diagnosis on that. Houston doctor diagnosed in 5 minutes. That was my 3rd breast surgery. It seems to have finally stopped it. That's so funny 🤣 about get rid of our husbands. Then who would carry the insurance and help us out. Have a great day my friend and almost kin.

@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member. YAY Katrina! Congratulations! Finally! But....😏😏😏you know what has to be done if it comes baaaack...😉. I read something this morning about the propensity for multiple autoimmune diseases if you have one. Afterall, just one is just your body letting you know that you're exposing it to something it doesn't agree with. Like am allergy, but different response. It'll always be there waiting to respond until the irritant is removed. That means we all need to get rid of our husbands!😆😆🤣🤣😂

@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member WOW. I was seeing benefit from the Zoryve until after about two weeks, and then my skin was irritated. I may ask about the Vtama. I am afraid to have to rely upon the DuoBrii because it is a steroid.
