Brief Answer:
Regarding psoriasis

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
I suggest you to use a moisturizer regularly and frequently on the psoriatic patches. In addition I suggest you to apply a topical potent steroid e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05 %cream, twice daily for the patches. It is a prescription topical steroid. This usually suffices for a few patches of psoriasis. More widespread involvement requires oral medication.

Hi.
I suggest you to use a combination of either calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate ointment Or a combination of betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid ointment These are prescription medications and I advice you to talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
