Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Sporozole (Itraconazole) is an antifungal and psoriasis is NOT a fungal infection. So, it is obvious that sporozole is not going to help with psoriasis. Epizone A, being a moisturizer, would help in psoriasis but is not very effective when used alone.
I guess you might have developed tinea (fungal infection) during treatment for psoriasis and the doctor is treating tinea. Hope it answers your queries
