Psoriasis tx: Depending on its severity and quality of life issues, there are several options including topical therapy (with steroid creams, vitamin d creams, vitamin a creams) to light therapy (sun or in UV box) to oral therapy to newer injectable biologics. Given her age, she may want to stick to topical treatment and get sunlight. She can see a dermatologist to review options
