hi there,
am dr.surendran
nice to meet you here in HCMagic
The following may trigger an attack of
psoriasis or make the condition more difficult to treat:
Bacteria or viral infections, including
strep throat and upper respiratory infections
Dry air or dry skin
Injury to the skin, including cuts, burns, and insect bites
Some medicines, including antimalaria drugs, beta-blockers, and lithium
Stress
Too little sunlight
Too much sunlight (sunburn)
Too much alcohol
The goal of treatment is to control your symptoms and prevent infection.
Three treatment options are available:
Skin lotions, ointments, creams, and shampoos. These are called topical treatments.
Pills or injections that affect the body's immune response, not just the skin. There are called systemic, or body-wide, treatments.
Phototherapy, which uses light to treat psoriasis.
TOPICAL TREATMENTS
Most of the time, psoriasis is treated with medications that are placed directly on the skin or scalp. This may include:
Cortisone creams and ointments
Creams or ointments that contain coal tar or anthralin
Creams to remove the scaling (usually
salicylic acid or lactic acid)
Dandruff shampoos (over-the-counter or prescription)
Moisturizers
Prescription medicines containing vitamin D or vitamin A (retinoids)
hope i helped with your query,
with regards dr.surendiran [hcmagic]
