Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.

You must understand that psoriasis cannot be completely cured.
It can only be controlled.

We generally try to control it with topical steroids and coal tar solution.

If the involved area is more than 20 % of body area oral medication like Methotrexate is required.
I would like to know which all parts of your body are involved.

If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.

Based of that i will advice you the correct regimen to be followed.

Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
