Hi.
As per your case history of psoriasis, my treatment advice is-
1. Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a good emollient cream like Enmoist twice daily along with a steroid plus salicylic acid ointment like Dipsalic-F ointment twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take a vitamin A supplement once daily and an antihistamine like levocetrizine for itching.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
