Because every case of psoriasis is different, and because there is no cure, psoriasis treatments run the gamut from cutting-edge prescription medications to flim-flam artists selling potions that do nothing but separate psoriasis patients from their money. Even among legitimate psoriasis treatments, the range is vast, and includes ultraviolet light treatments, topical creams and lotions applied directly to the affected skin, pills taken orally, injections administered by the patient at home or by a nurse at a medical facility, and things like stress reduction techniques.
I would consult a Dermatologist and see what type of treatment they would suggest.
I listed a web site that you might be interested in...lots of information about psoriasis.

It's psoriasis.
And here are some ways to treat it from wikipedia:
Treatment
There can be substantial variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments. Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to finding the most appropriate treatment for their patient. The decision to employ a particular treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity. The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, comorbidities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken into consideration.
Medications with the least potential for adverse reactions are preferentially employed. If the treatment goal is not achieved then therapies with greater potential toxicity may be used. Medications with significant toxicity are reserved for severe unresponsive psoriasis. This is called the psoriasis treatment ladder.[6] As a first step, medicated ointments or creams are applied to the skin. This is called topical treatment. If topical treatment fails to achieve the desired goal then the next step would be to expose the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This type of treatment is called phototherapy. The third step involves the use of medications which are ingested orally or by injection. This approach is called systemic treatment.
Over time, psoriasis can become resistant to a specific therapy. Treatments may be periodically changed to prevent resistance developing (tachyphylaxis) and to reduce the chance of adverse reactions occurring. This is called treatment rotation.

Well, lets understand what exactly it is first,
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. There are five types, each with unique signs and symptoms. Between 10% and 30% of people who develop psoriasis get a related form of arthritis called “psoriatic arthritis,” which causes inflammation of the joints.
Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis. About 80% of people who develop psoriasis have plaque psoriasis, which appears as patches of raised, reddish skin covered by silvery-white scale. These patches, or plaques, frequently form on the elbows, knees, lower back,
and scalp. However, the plaques can occur anywhere on the body.
The other types are guttate psoriasis (small, red spots on the skin),
pustular psoriasis (white pustules surrounded by red skin), inverse psoriasis (smooth, red lesions form in skin folds), and erythrodermic psoriasis (widespread redness, severe itching, and pain).
Regardless of type, psoriasis usually causes discomfort. The skin often itches, and it may crack and bleed. In severe cases, the itching and discomfort may keep a person awake at night, and the pain can make everyday tasks difficult.
Your probably going to see that to deal with this completely, there are a few things that must be done.
For some relief form the constant itching, try using ozonated olive oil, you can find this at:
www.ghchealth.com
it is a formula that can be used for any kind of skin condition in order to reoxygenate tissue topically.
I have found that a good cleanse helps get allot of the toxins out of the system, and can help with some of the inflammation issue, I use a product called Oxy-Powder and it is very effective.
you may also think about using oregano oil oraly as well. it is a natural body defender and body purifier, besides offering potential germicide capabilities has also effectively shown to be effective for:
Promoting digestive health
Promoting a healthy immune system
Promoting joint and muscle flexibility
Promoting respiratory health
Promoting smooth, healthy, and clear looking skin
Establishing a toxic environment for certain unhealthy organisms that are constantly attacking our skin, digestive tracts, and mucus membranes.
I hope this helps you, take care and good luck!

Ive Had it quite bad before and do you want to know the miracle solution....Solarium (sunbed sessions).
Even my doctor said I shouldnt advise this really but do it and it will clear up, he was right , none of the ointments other doctors prescribed did any good.
It even came back slightly recently and I just went out in the sun for half an hour each day and it clears like magic.
By the way it starts witha 'P' psoriasis.

The only effective means of medication for psoriasis is through prescription. You need a doctor. There are some over the counter creams you could try to see if they help if you can't afford a doctor, but at least try and see one first for a definitive diagnosis.

I would suggest homeopathy. Since the doctor needs to see you and take a case thoroughly, I strongly recommend that you locate a homeopath in your area.
By the way that is spelt as psoriasis.

My mom had that... but I recommend you ask a doctor...over-the-counter or things you can buy at a place like CVS dont always work. But...ask your doctor what HE thinks would be best, my mom did. She had tried many over-the-counters and not much worked.
