Hi,
You said you suffer from psoriasis vulgaris. Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease. It may be precipitated or exacerbated by various factors like stress, anxiety, sunexposure, alcohol,smoking,dry wheather,drugs lke chloroquine..etc
I would like to advise to take methoraxate 15 mg per week in devided doses 12 hourly. And I also add cap acitretin 10 mg twice a day for long time. I usually recommend blood test lor liver and renal function at regular interval. Apply steroid cream combined with salicylic acid like clop- s oint on the lesions. And i warn to for use of steroid injection you take monthly,as it may harm more then benefit. It may be responsible for the relapse of the disease. Keep the skin moist by use of moisturiser cream. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if you have habit. Avoid worries and stress. Have patience and positive attitude. You might get good improvement. Continue treatment even after good result. After satisfactory result,you may drop. If there is relapse, restart the treatment. I hope this would help you in your treatment. You consult expert dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
Thanks.
