Treatment - Topical Short term potent steriod or potent steriod plus calcipotriol gain improvement in plaque psoriasis. Long term treatment is a Vit D Analogue. If unsuccessful then consider dithranol, coal tar solution or tazaotene gel.
Slide 13-

Vitamin D analogues Calcipotriol and talcalcitol. Dovonex, silkis, curatoderm. Dovobet (with betamethasone) Analogues of vit D and affect cell division and differentiation Do not smell or stain

Coal Tar Anti-inflammatory properties and anti-scaling properties. Crude coal tar most effective, but not tolerated due to smell and mess. Contact allergy or folliculits may occur. Polytar, alphosyl HC, Cocois

Tazarotene For plaque psoriasis. A retinoid. Less effective and more irritation than calcipotriol. Use sparingly on plaques only. Clean and odourless.

Assessing Psoriasis PASI - calculated based on severity, intensity, and surface area Requires experience at calculating the score. DLQI Simple 10 questions, assess effect on life.
Slide 21-

Dermatology Life Quality Index 0-1 = no effect at all on patient's life 2-5 = small effect on patient's life 6-10 = moderate effect on patient's life 11-20 = very large effect on patient's life 21-30 = extremely large effect on patient's life

Systemic In general poor studies to go on and of short duration. However, Severe or refractory psoriasis pt should be offered tx with ciclosporin, methrotrexate, acitretin. If respond – shared care with primary care.
