The dry patches of skin you get with psoriasis can be itchy and uncomfortable, but the right treatment plan can help.
Your doctor will likely suggest creams, lotions, foams, sprays, solutions, and ointments. These are topical treatments -- meaning you put them directly on your skin or scalp.
You can get some of these treatments at the drugstore, but you may need prescriptions for others. It may take time to find what works best for you.
