• Hydrocortisone/Cortaid

 

Prescription creams or lotions:

 

• Topical steroids such as clobetasol or triamcinolone

• Vitamin D analogues (Dovonex or Taclonex ointment)

• Retinoids (Tazorac cream or gel)

 

Prescription pills:

 

• Methotrexate​​

• Soriatane (a cousin of accurate)

• Otezla (currently one of the most popular treatments for Psoriasis)
