Suggest medication for psoriasis
Patient: what is medicine for external applications to suppress/ cure  psoriasis?age 39height 6 ftsuffering from psoriasis since age of 14. it is on the scalp, elbow, knee and few spots on the back, thigh. currently I am using diprovate cream to suppress scalp. Doctor: Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your query.Topical calcipotriol ointment twice daily or topical tazoratene(Tazorac)0.05% gel once daily can be the other options.If i am your family physician,would suggest combined therapy,based on the type and extent of lesions (like photo therapy+topical agents) which will be more effective in enhancing faster remission/clearance of lesions.I would advise you to discuss this with a dermatologist for above prescription if its appropriate for you.Hope i have answered your query.If any further questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
