Hello,
Cortico-steroids remain the treatment of choice for psoriasis. You are already taking local cortico-steroid cream. I would only add bathing with Epsom salt or oilated oatmeal to soften the scales. Applying respective compresses can also help. In case still no improvement, should see dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
