I have been using cortisone oil for about two weeks now for my scalp psoriasis outbreak but I see no difference. I don’t seem to manage to get the whole area covered with oil. How does one do it? I tried to apply it from front to back and most of the oil stays on the parts where I applied while the other parts stay uncovered. Should I stop using it since it is not working?

No, I don’t think you should stop using cortisone because it may take three to fours weeks to see any benefits. Mine started after three weeks of applying. Besides applying front to back, you should also do it side to side, so that you could reach all areas. I switched to cortisone foam, which is much easier to apply. Your doctor is the one who should decide if you should stop or not. Just don’t abrupt it suddenly as you may suffer recurrence.
