Dear

The psoriasis lesions are known to come and go. If these are persistent then you should benefit by the use of various antipsoriatic preparations. Those containing steroid and salicylic acid should give you prompt relief. However, if you have easy access to a center where PUVA therapy is given, then you might benefit from that but the catch is that the latter will give you slow relief as compared to topical applications. Ina person of your age, one cannot consider Methotrexate which gives very good results but has effects on sperm producing capacity of an individual. In the meantime, you please take care of your diet, stress levels, topical applications of oils and keratolytic agents and avoid trauma as psoriasis is known to appear at sites of trauma, you are also to avoid painkillers that can bring about a worsening of lesions. Hoe that helps you tide over this crucial period.
