Topical Retinoids
Retinoids are a form of vitamin A that work by slowing down the growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation. They are available in various forms, such as creams, gels, and ointments. They are typically applied directly to the affected area of the skin. Topical retinoids can help to reduce scaling and inflammation, as well as improve the overall appearance of psoriasis lesions. They are often used in combination with other topical medications or light therapy to achieve the best results. However, retinoids can cause skin irritation and dryness, and they are not suitable for everyone.
