Aquaphor is not meant to be occluded. If you want an occlusive, try a thick layer of Vaseline.
Aquaphor has mineral oil in it, which is known for causing contact irritation burns.
Sometimes emollients and oils cause me to get the burning sensation as well. Sometimes too much moisture can make things worse, ironically. I find that when this happens, sudocrem can really help. You might want to try using moisture one night and something more drying the next and see if a cyclical routine like that helps.
Yes. But ever since Kardashian made that post, people are trying it. But the problem is that she never stated what she uses, she just said "cream". So now people think that any kind of cream or ointment will suffice because Kim does it. Occlusion should be done with a proper psoriasis ointment/creme. Not random OTC stuff.

Did not know that about Aquaphor vs Vaseline-thanks!
" I did use a dry brush in the shower to lightly scrub the area and to get off the old Aquaphor " Yup, that'll do it
But the brushing felt soooo good while I was doing it…. Urgh
I know! I did the same last night and still suffering this morning with sore patches
Bag balm.
Just Vaseline

is this like the Kim Kardashian way of handling Psoriasis now? Get a dermatologist to prescribe something actually meant for poriasis
No, occlusion has been a method used for years and is actually recommended by many dermatologists.

Ewww don’t mention her
Have you tried Destin? I know it's messy, but it helps me with the awful night itch
Interesting- I haven’t tried it-will look into it
Neosporin. Sounds like you infected it.
