  • Medically reviewed by Susan Bard, MD Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes skin to appear scaly and inflamed. It occurs when the immune system goes into overdrive, causing the skin cells to multiply quickly.

The article from MSN discusses various over-the-counter and prescription creams that can help manage psoriasis symptoms. It highlights that psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, causes red, scaly patches on the skin due to an overactive immune system. The creams listed include moisturizers to keep skin hydrated, topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, vitamin D analogues like calcipotriene to slow skin cell growth, retinoids for reducing inflammation and skin cell production, calcineurin inhibitors for sensitive areas, salicylic acid to remove scales, coal tar to slow skin cell growth, anthralin to normalize DNA activity in skin cells, and newer biologics and systemic treatments for severe cases. Each cream has its own set of benefits and potential side effects, and the article advises consulting with a dermatologist to find the most suitable treatment tailored to individual needs.
