Reviews of Rederm

Drugs of this kind are very popular in society. Therefore, reviews about Rederm in psoriasis are quite common and many of them are positive. Although there are patients who were dissatisfied with the treatment.

In addition, the ointment is easy, simple and convenient to use, as it is easily applied to the skin and absorbed quickly.
However, one can also find negative reviews in which patients discuss the properties characteristic of hormonal drugs. As a rule, most hormonal agents are effective only at the initial stage of treatment, and then their effect is somewhat reduced. According to some patients, this only aggravates the therapeutic process and the course of the disease.
Also, some patients report that their skin has become cyanotic and wrinkled and has lost hair, although at first the treatment proceeded quite well. In general, many patients agree with the opinion that hormones are harmful to the body, therefore it is better to refuse all hormones.
According to experts in the field of dermatology, the use of hormonal ointments can be resorted to when the use of conventional techniques was not effective. In any case, treatment with hormonal drugs should be done only under the supervision of a doctor, with strict adherence to dosage and duration of use.
