Psoriasis Treatments

There is no cure for psoriasis, but it can be controlled with appropriate treatment and avoiding triggers, such as stress. Treatment options for psoriasis include:

• Using moisturizing ointments and creams
• Controlled exposure to sunlight
• Steroid and anti-inflammatory medication
• Anti-cancer drugs that prevent the growth of skin cells
• Immunosuppressant agents

Medication may be topical, oral or injectable.
