Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Psoriasis can be treated for mild disease that involves only small areas of the body topical treatments such as creams, lotions, and sprays, may be very effective and safe to use. Occasionally, a small local injection of steroids directly into a tough or resistant isolated psoriatic plaque may be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
