How can I treat psoriasis?

You can get some over-the-counter, very mild, half-percent or one percent hydrocortisones. You can get some other anti-psoriasis creams and ointments that contain things like salicylic acid, which tend to reduce and loosen the scale. You can get non-prescription shampoos that contain a variety of things like salicylic acid, selenium, and ketaconazol in the shampoo. All of these can help. If you don't get help with those, or if your psoriasis gets worse, go and see a dermatologist. We have many new treatments for psoriasis and some of those are really excellent. About a quarter of psoriasis patients will need to take an internal medication to calm down their psoriasis and control it, but just if you've got psoriasis. There are lots of new treatments, some of them are available in this country and some of them will become available in this country. There's a lot of help associations. I've written a book on psoriasis called "Psoriasis: A Patient's Guide," which helps you through psoriasis or helps to inform you about psoriasis. There's psoriasis associations, and there's the psoriasis foundation. One of the key things about psoriasis is to be informed about your disease, and then you can help to make sensible choices on treatment.
