What can I do for psoriasis on my elbow and back legs?
Asked by Male, 33 · 1 month ago
You can manage psoriasis on your elbows and the back of your legs by applying prescribed topical steroids or vitamin D analogues daily to reduce inflammation and scaling. Use thick, fragrance-free moisturisers to keep the skin hydrated and avoid triggers such as harsh soaps or scratching. If the patches do not improve, please consult your doctor for further treatment.
