It is very important that you follow the treatment properly and for required duration to clear the individual patches. You need to be under care of a dermatologist to diagnose and then titrate medication according to your body surface area involved. Good thing about psoriasis is that there can be long disease activity free intervals unlike many other chronic problems. Consult a dermatologist and carry all available old treatment records with you .

Hello, if you have taken the treatment and it's, still increasing then methotrexate might help you. Also the diagnosis has to confirmed by biopsy. Consult a dermatologist for further treatment.

Psoriasis is a immune system mediated skin disease which can be brought into remission by certain medications and life style changes. Now its believed to be a multi system disorder involving joints, hearts and kidneys as well. A proper assessment to determine the severity of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis if present is needed. Most of the patients do well if they stick to the recommendations. Kindly see a dermatologist for a treatment plan.
