[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor Psoriasis is a chronic immune mediated disease characterized by scaly erythematous plaques over the extensors like scalp, elbows, knees, lower back etc. Treatment options for plaque psoriasis are:-Topical steroids+salicylic acid ointments-Topical vitamin D analogues(calcitriol, calcitriol)-Topical coal tar+salicylic acid ointmentPropysalic ointment contains clobetasol propionate+salicylic acid and is a good choice for localized plaque psoriasis. While you can use this ointment, twice daily for the psoriasis plaques on your body but for scalp psoriasis, it is preferable to use a lotion formulation because ointment would be messy to be used on the scalp.Besides, you could also use a coal tar + salicylic acid based shampoo for scalp psoriasis.
