The best cream to treat psoriasis is Tazarotene (Tazorac) whcih is derived from vitamin A.

Hydrocortisone cream is also good for treating psoriasis.

Examples of hydrocortisone creams for treating psoriasis are Eucerin Urea Enriched Roughness Relief Cream and CeraVe Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream.

Psoriasis dermatitis is a skin disease which causes skin rashes with itchy, scaly patches on the skin and most commonly in areas of the knees, scalp, trunk and elbows.

Psoriasis can sometimes be painful and even interfere with sleep and make it hard to concentrate.

The condition of psoriasis most often goes through cycles and flares up for a few weeks or even months and then goes away for awhile before coming back.

Psoriasis is caused by problems with the immune system and when skin cells are replaced more quickly than they usually would.

Aloe Vera can help clear psoriasis fast as well as taking fish oil through IV and taking fish oil supplements.

Taking an oatmeal bath can also help with clearing and soothing psoriasis as well as Vitamin D and taking a warm soothing bath.

Vitamin D is good for psoriasis when applied directly and topically to the skin such as for plaque psoriasis.

And for other psoriasis the oral vitamin D supplements are good for treating the psoriasis conditions other than plaque psoriasis.

The most effective biologic for psoriasis is Adalimumab (Humira), a TNF-alpha-blocking antibody.

Other effective biologic medicines for treating psoriasis are.

Adalimumab-adbm (Cyltezo), a biosimilar to Humira.
Brodalumab (Siliq), a human antibody against interleukins.
Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), a TNF-alpha blocker.

The strongest medication for psoriasis is Deucravacitinib (Sotyktu) which is a medication approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Other ways to treat and manage your psoriasis include.

Take daily baths.
Keep your skin moist.
Cover the affected areas overnight.
Expose your skin to small amounts of sunlight.
Avoid scratching.
Avoid psoriasis triggers.
Stay cool.
Strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Psoriasis occurs when skin cells are replaced more quickly than usual.

It's not known exactly why this happens, but research suggests it's caused by a problem with the immune system.

The human body produces new skin cells in the deepest layer of skin.

Psoriasis and Eczema can seem similar but the main difference between psoriasis and eczema is in the itching.

With eczema the itching is usually much more intense and more severe itching occurs with eczema.

The Psoriasis can also cause itching but the itching with Psoriasis is usually not as severe and is less intense.

Also when you have eczema the skin is usually thicker and more inflamed with eczema than it is with psoriasis.

Psoriasis is not contagious so you cannot catch psoriasis from someone who has it.

Even if you touch the person who has psoriasis you cannot catch psoriasis from someone.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease and not a contagious disease so it's safe to be near someone who has it or even touch the person who has it.

You might get Psoriasis yourself but it's not because the other person had it.

The Psoriasis causes red scaly patches to appear on your skin and looks like a rash that seems contagious but it's not.

So the good news is that Psoriasis cannot be spread from person to person.
