Self undergone treatment fro the same by getting a topical application of Topianate cream, Defac tablet and Allegra 120,along with Primacot injection once in 15 days. Now the scaling has stopped all over the body but for little persisting on the scalp. However the dark spots still exists with itching sometime only. Can you please help me out.

Thank you for posting on HCM
mainstay of treatment for psoriasis is initially application of creams which have active form of vitamin D - depending on how you respond one may need to start oral medications like methotrexate ( if psoriasis is generalised) - For isolated scalp psoriasis - there are different types of shampoos & scalp lotions available as well.
Dark spots may get fainter over a period of time
Hope this is helpful
