Local therapy of psoriasis
- Dermatovenerologická ambulance Praha
Psoriasis has traditionally been viewed as a primary skin condition that is treated with local agents. In light of new knowledgeon the aetiopathogenesis, psoriasis is considered to be a multifactorial disease with a number of comorbidities; therefore, theestablished patterns are gradually changing, with systemic therapy being chosen more frequently and earlier. Still, local therapycontinues to be predominant in mild and moderate forms and, in moderate and severe forms, it is an adjunct to phototherapyand systemic therapy. Traditional external medications, such as tar and cignolin, are being replaced by modern agents such asvitamin D derivatives, immunomodulators, combined drugs with corticosteroids, and retinoids.
