Brief Answer:
Plaque psoriasis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern and I have viewed the image.
She seems to have plaque psoriasis. I can see red, scaly patches on her legs.
I suggest you to continue with clobetasol propionate 0.05 %cream (Clonate ointment) as we as the moisturizer. The patches should resolve/improve significantly in about 4 weeks. Methotrexate that she is taking for her arthritis should also benefit her psoriasis.

Regards
