A&D Ointment vs. Topical Steroids

A&D Ointment vs. Topical Steroids
from Oakley S.

Ed: I was curious if anyone was using A&D Ointment as I have seen a mild regression in my Psoriasis having used it on a whim. I got a Tattoo this last Saturday and friend recommended I use A&D to help keep the tattoo from drying out. With what little I have found to work for my psoriasis I thought I would give it a shot. I have been testing this treatment on 2 patches and have noted a mild regression. The flakiness has been reduced to this point. I intend to try this method on the two experimental patches without using my steroid cream to see if there is any significant improvement. Consider me a guinea pig for this experiment and will update you with my hopeful success.

Thanks! -Oakley S.

Ed’s Response: Good ol’A&D! You are hearing from a firm believer, Oakley. I haven’t been without a tub of the stuff for more years than I can remember.

A&D Ointment has an excellent rep at FlakeHQ…. Check out these pages from the archives:

Pitting A&D head-to-head against a topical steroid probably isn’t fair, because A&D really doesn’t have an active ingredient known to palliate lesions. What it does do very well is moisturize. Like any abnormal skin, our P lesions tend to itch and crack less if they’re kept moist and supple. A&D Ointment does that very well. -Ed
