Abstract

We present a case of a patient with extensive psoriasis successfully treated with “Psorisbye,” our newly developed foamy lotion. A 36-year-old male presented to our outpatient clinic with extensive psoriatic lesions affecting the chest, abdomen, back, arms, and forearms. His past medical history was unremarkable. The patient’s primary concern was severe itching associated with the psoriatic lesions. Upon examination, extensive erythrodermic psoriatic lesions were observed, covering approximately 50% of the head and neck, 70% of the trunk, and 70% of both upper and lower limbs. He was advised to use our newly patented lotion, “Psorisbye,” once daily for one month, during which he applied a total of 480 ml over 28 days. No antihistamine was administered during this treatment period. After 28 days of using “Psorisbye,” the patient returned to the clinic, reporting significant improvement in itching and noticeable remission of the red lesions. A comparison of the lesions before and after 28 days of treatment showed a remarkable reduction in his PASI score, improving from 43.7 to 2.8. Our case report demonstrated promising results in treating extensive erythrodermic psoriatic lesions with “Psorisbye.” However, clinical trials with a larger sample size and longer follow-up are essential to further evaluate remission periods and assess any potential adverse effects of applying this innovative topical therapy to large body surface areas.
