I've only used Xerina, the moisturizer cream. No specific medicine as such. I am again attaching 3 images of the affected areas here. If it doesn't reach you, I'll email the same to you. Please prescribe some medicines as it is causing me lot of problems.

Brief Answer:
Clobetasol

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photographs.
It is palmo plantar psoriasis limited to hands and legs only.
You need treatment with topical steroid cream.
Use Clobetasol + salicylic acid combination cream in night and xerina cream in morning.
This combination will help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
