as winter has descended upon us, i have become the victim of an autoimmune skin disease called PSORIASIS. i now have random red spots all over my face. this typically comes as a result of a serious lack of sunlight, cold weather and stress.

i had it as a kid when i lived in pennsylvania. at the time i was prescribed a drug called OLUX. it was a steroid foam and it knocked the shit right out. however, i've been trying to convince the doctors here in korea that OLUX should take care of the problem. however, they keep prescribing me weaker creams and lotions that don't really do much.

with the exception of the international clinic in itaewon (they weren't much help either), where can i find a dermatologist/doctor to fill out a prescription for OLUX?

much appreciated!

Try Dream Skin Clinic in Apkujung. Ask for Dr. Park Kyong-ho. He speaks nearly perfect English and can either get you what you need or explain why it isn't prescribed here.
