Hi
Psoriasis presents as red patches of skin covered with silvery scales. In psoriasis, the scales are dry, silvery or powdery, raised and moderately itchy. Other symptoms are dry, cracked skin that may bleed, burning, thickened, pitted nails and swollen and stiff joints
Treatment should be under supervision of a specialist. It involves topical treatments, light therapy and oral medications. Topical psoriasis treatments include topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, anthralin, topical retinoids and coal tar. Phototherapy involves sunlight or the use of artificial ultraviolet A (UVA) or ultraviolet B (UVB) light either alone or in combination with medications. Oral treatment like retinoids, Methotrexate and azathioprine are used in severe psoriasis which doesn’t respond to other therapies.
Hope it helps. Take care
