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

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
