Bai Bi Gao (Ointment) - 30ml, 50ml

Number One Ointment for psoriasis. All types of psoriasis. Best results are achieved when the patient applies a layer of the ointment and then occludes the area overnight with Clingfilm (this increases efficacy substantially, so important to encourage the patient to do so). Usually I prescribe this to be used at night with Clingfilm, and either Bai Bi Shui Gao (the cream), Lei Gong Teng Shui Gao or Bai Bi Er Hao Shui Gao for the day. It is messy (& staining) to use, but really worth the effort in most cases. Should see change in 2 to 3 weeks if not sooner when the patient uses it correctly every night.

Use with care with very active psoriasis (psoriasis that is on the way to becoming erythrodermic) as with all topical measures (best to use blander creams like Bai Bi Er Hao Gao).

In a very small proportion of patients (especially when used with Clingfilm when the psoriasis is very active), the skin becomes sore and red. If this happens then discontinue use immediately and apply Bai Bi Er Hao Shui Gao until settled, then try using Bai Bi Shui Gao, or even Bai Bi Shui.

Bai Bi Shui Gao (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml

As for Bai Bi Gao (i.e. for all types of psoriasis), but is a cream therefore easier to use in the day (no need for occluding with Clingfilm). Often used in conjunction with Bai Bi Gao (i.e. use Bai Bi Gao with occlusion at night, and Bai Bi Shui Gao without occlusion in the day). If the colour is unacceptable use Lei Gong Teng Shui Gao or Bai Bi Er Hao Shui Gao.

Bai Bi Shui (Alcohol tincture) - 50ml, 100ml

For any psoriasis on face or scalp (where ointments and creams are cosmetically unacceptable), although some patients are still able to use Bai Bi Gao (with or without occlusion) & Bai Bi Shui Gao on the face and scalp in the evenings.

Many patients like to use it on the body & limbs as well since it is not messy like Bai Bi Gao. Good at subduing itching.

It can cause dry skin if used excessively (since it is alcohol based) so I also prescribe it with Bai Bi Er Hao Gao or Zi Cao Shui Gao.

Bai Bi Er Hao Shui Gao (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml

Good for very dry fissured or very active psoriasis (where bland creams are needed), or as secondary cream with all types of psoriasis to moisten and hydrate the skin. Often used during the day since it rubs in without leaving a colour (see Bai Bi Gao).

Yu Huang Gao (Ointment) - 30ml, 50ml

All types of psoriasis. Best results are achieved when the patient applies a layer and then occludes the area overnight with Clingfilm (this increases efficacy substantially, so important to encourage the patient to do so.

Usually I prescribe this to be used at night with Clingfilm.

Run Fa Jing You (Oil) - 100ml

For psoriasis, eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis (dandruff) of the scalp. Dry itchy scalp. Apply to scalp, then wrap with cling film or shower cap overnight. Wash off with mild shampoo. Depending on severity of condition apply once a day or once every several days.
