Psoriasis has no known cure. Treatment, on the other hand, can make you feel better. Topical, oral, or systemic therapies may be required. Even if you have severe psoriasis, there are effective methods for controlling flare-ups. You might be able to fully eliminate your symptoms.
Psoriasis Topical Treatments
These are medications that you apply straight to your skin. They're usually the first thing your doctor would recommend, along with a decent moisturiser, especially if you have mild to moderate psoriasis. There are both OTC and prescription solutions available.
Topical psoriasis treatments include ointments, creams, and foams, and include:
- Steroid creams
- Salicylic acid
- Calcipotriol (Calcipotriene)
- Immunosuppressants
- Coal tar ointment and shampoo
- Prescription retinoid
- Phototherapy for Psoriasis
- Psoralen + UVA (PUVA)
- Systemic Biologic Treatments
