home remedy first: Guttate psoriasis is diagnosed by inspection & history. Are you getting silvery scales when scratched? Photo therapy may help you. If nothing works may have to use systemic medications,but try to stay off of them. Home remedy; Burdock root tincture 1 dropper ful twice daily in juicex 1-2 months. Turmeric powder mixed with honey applied to lesions for 15 min x thrice daily
