Topical Corticosteroids
for Psoriasis
Prescription-grade topical steroid creams and ointments applied to psoriatic plaques to reduce inflammation and scaling.
How it works
Corticosteroids suppress the inflammatory cytokine cascade (TNF-alpha, IL-17, IL-23) driving abnormal skin cell turnover in psoriasis.
What to watch for
For short-term use only — prolonged use causes skin thinning and striae, especially on the face and skin folds. Rebound flare can occur after stopping. Requires GP prescription for stronger formulations.
