FAQ’S
What do I do if the exorex management system doesn’t seem to be working?
When you begin using exorex lotion the “initial treatment phase” can take 60 to 90 days. Unfortunately as no two psoriasis sufferers are alike, it can sometimes take a little longer for exorex lotion to provide its maximum effect. However, if in doubt, and particularly if exorex lotion appears not to be having any positive effect, you should seek advice from your Pharmacist, Family Doctor or the Exorex Helpline.
I have sensitive skin?
If you are a long term psoriasis sufferer that has used steroid based products in the past, have very sensitive skin or are under the age of 12 you may find it more comfortable to dilute exorex lotion at first.
I need to use exorex lotion more often than 3 times a day?
Applying exorex scalp moisturiser and/or moisturising cream as often as needed in between Lotion applications will help reduce itching and irritation, maintain moisture and help to remove scaling. However, you should not apply exorex lotion to the scalp or the body more than 3 times daily.
Sensitive body areas
Certain areas of the body such as the groin are more sensitive than others. exorex lotion can be used on all lesions no matter where on the body they occur. However, there are certain tips that may help you to get the best results. If the skin is very red and/or tender you should follow the dilution programme.
If the lesions on your scalp are thick and very scaly - apply exorex moisturising Cream before going to bed (after the Lotion has been used) and the scalp moisturiser during the day.
You should consult your doctor before using exorex lotion on sensitive body areas.
A word of caution
Coal tar may cause skin irritation, photosensitivity of the skin and acne-like eruptions. If these occur, the treatment should be reviewed with a health professional and discontinued if necessary.
