[|AI|]  Hi. As you said your wife suffers from psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing and autoimmune disease. She may be having scaly plaques on various parts of the body, scaly lesions on the scalp. Exact cause is not known. Genetic tendency, autoimmunity, stress, Chat Doctor. .etc. may be responsible for precipitation and exacerbation of the disease. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I usually recommend cap accretion 10 mg twice a day along with methotrexate 15 mg weekly in three decided doses 12 hourly. This may be taken for long time till good response. Blood tests may be done to monitor the treatment. She may apply mild steroid cream or calcitriol point on the lesions. She may apply moisturizer to improve the skin texture. Tell her to avoid soap bath for few weeks. She should avoid stress and worries as that might worsen psoriasis. Your wife might get good result. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
