palm psoriasis using octamop lotion in sun rays and remoize and pasitrex cream twice a day but not cure and now find it increase in feet and scalp

Hello Shaw, If your treatment is not helping you ask your doctor about switching to a Halobetasol or Clobetasol-Salicylic Acid ointment along with a Coal Tar ointment at night. If even this doesn't help in 4-6 weeks then oral treatments like Acitretin 25-50 mg per day or Methotrexate can be considered for very severe Palmoplantar Psoriasis. Regards. ...
