See specialist: Psoriasis treatments can be divided into three main types: topical treatments, light therapy and systemic medications. Topical medicine is used for mild cases. In more severe cases phototherapy and oral or injected medications may be added. These medications can have serious side effects.You should consult rheumatologist or dermatologist.
