GENERAL CARE FOR PSORIASIS

      Remember that  psoriasis is a treatable disease.
      Get 20-30 minutes exposure to sunlight regularly.
      Use emollients or moisturisers liberally.
      Bathe in a coal tar bath at bedtime.
      Scrub scale off gently using a stiff brush.
      For scalp care, use coal tar shampoo.
      For nail care, remove debris under the nails gently
            and apply steroid cream.
      For psoriatic arthritis, splints and warm compress
            can be applied to affected joints.
      Family support to encourage psoriatic patients
             despite the rituals and often messy dressings
      Your doctor can prescribe the necessary medications
             in times of exacerbations.
