The best advice I can give you is not to spend a ton of money on perscriptions . I have psoriasis on my legs and the best thing I have found is laying in the taning bed . Mine was cleared up for 9 months. Then I stopped laying in a taning bed and it's starting to come back..I layed in a bed called the super bronze..it doesn't burn you! Call around and make an appointment. You'll see an improvement in just a few days

Although psoriasis cannot be cured, dermatologists (skin doctors) can treat its symptoms. For mild cases, dermatologists often apply medicine directly to the skin. Cortisones, coal tar, and a drug called anthralin reduce swelling, slow cell growth, and relieve itching. Doctors can also apply chemicals, such as salicylic acid and urea, to force the excess skin to peel away. Vitamin D solutions can slow the rate at which skin cells multiply. In more severe cases, physicians shine ultraviolet light on the skin to slow the growth of skin cells. As a last resort, doctors may prescribe oral medicine for psoriasis. With proper treatment, psoriasis can be cleared up for long periods.
