Hi, welcome to HCM,
Psoriasis is a immune mediated disease which presents mainly as skin lesion.
It is a chronic disease and there in no cure for this, it can only be controlled.
Apply emollient which contains urea+Lactic acid.
apply clobetasol+salicylic acid ointment twice daily, but this drug should not be used for long.
In severe disease tab Methotrexate is also given in weekly dose but this need observation.
Give her high protein diet. Egg, meat, fish, cheese, soybean, pulses should be included in diet.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks.
