Thoughts on Corticosteroids for Psoriasis by Dr. Steven Feldman, MD
July 2021

Topical corticosteroids are very effective psoriasis treatments, especially if used well. They are available in a variety of vehicles—ointment, cream, gel, solution, foam, shampoo, etc—giving patients the flexibility to use a formulation that appeals to them. It may help to keep the treatment regimen as simple as possible, just one or two medications, as otherwise the complexity of treatment may make it hard for patients to use the treatment regularly.
