Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Omnacortil is steroid but can be used in low dose.

10 mg can be used for a long period.

Psoriasis cannot be totally cured.

It can be only controlled.

You can use steroid creams to control this.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

And get the medication prescribed.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
