As a psoriasis sufferer, I used Dovonex for a long time. It came in two forms: ointment and cream. Both had the same active ingredients, but the ointment stayed on the applied area longer, and was, consequently, more effective.





I would assume that your medicine will be the same. The one downside to the ointment, however, is that it can leave a grease stain on clothes.





Good Luck
