Hi
Thanks for your query.
I am afraid what you are doing is surely causing you more harm than doing any good.
Steroids are totally to be avoided in cases of psoriasis.
View tend to suppress the disease for the time that you take steroids and as soon as you stop with steroids, the disease tends to return in an even worse form.
So I would advise you to see a dermatologist soon so that you can be guided and managed in the correct manner.
