Members overwhelmingly responded to a question about weeping psoriasis behind the ears by sharing a wide range of prescription topical treatments that worked for them, with Clobex, Betnovate scalp application, and Dovobet being the most frequently mentioned and praised for clearing symptoms within days. Several members found success with natural remedies like coconut oil, baby oil, and pure pawpaw ointment, with some noting that keeping affected areas moisturized and protected from water during showering helped prevent irritation and infection. A recurring theme was the importance of seeing a doctor when weeping occurs as it may indicate infection requiring antibiotics, and many members expressed solidarity over the frustrating trial-and-error process of finding what works best for each individual's psoriasis.

I alternate between Dovobet and organic coconut oil on mine. It really seems to help me...

I was prescribed triamcinolne acetonide cream, holy cow it's like a miracle ! Really helped wth ear and face! Hands, not so much, but I'm not complaining.

Miracle Comfrey ointment gives temporary relief and takes care of the redness. Also hoping a permanent cure isn't too far away. Good luck all and keep smiling :)

It seems to like the moist areas. I get it in my ears, behind my ears on base of hairline, naval and vagina. Predominantly on my scalp. I use Diprosone two to three times a week. Doesn't really clear it up, just controls it. Would like something that clears the spots newly developed since I stopped the Methotrexate because my PsA is in remission. The spots appearing on my shins and upper legs. Wish they would come up with a cure for this insidious condition.
