See a dermatologist: Psoriasis on the palms can be one of the most difficult types to manage. There are also several conditions that mimic palmar psoriasis, including fungal infections and hand eczema. Please see your dermatologist for proper diagnosis and management. Prescriptions ranging from topical steroids to systemic medications are available.

A few options: Used alone, creams and ointments that you apply to your skin can effectively treat mild to moderate psoriasis. When the disease is more severe, creams are likely to be combined with oral medications or light therapy. You can use topical corticosteroids, vitamin d analogues, anthralin, topical retinoids, salicylic acid, coal tar, various moisturizers, retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, etc.
