psoriasis is an autoimmune disease..has strong association with stress..i advice you not worry about the disease..take propynate nf lotion and apply it on the scalp everyday..its an immunosuppresant..u also use salisyla kt shampoo once weekly..for skin patches use mometasone ointment..orally you can take methotrexate 7.5mg weekly with leukovorin to be taken everyday..get your liver function tests done every 3 monthly..use good maoisturiser for body
