Hi,
You said your daughter 10 year old, is having psoriasis vulgaris. There may be scaly plaques all over body. And that might have cause lot of distress. I can understand your feelings. You consult dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
In my pediatric patients having psoriasis, I give methotraxate 2.5 mg 12 hourly three doses in a week..total 7.5 mg per week. I might give acitretin 10 mg daily.
Steroid combined with salicylic acid oint might improve the disease. If there is itching, levocetirizine may be given.Scalp psoriasis might respond to tar containing shampoo. Your daughter might improve after few months treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
