Brief Answer:
Betamethasone plus salicylic acid
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Topical steroids are the main stay of treatment in psoriasis.
Ointments like Betnovate(betamethasone) ,salicylic acid and Anthralin derivatives of coal tar.
A combination of these drugs are available as over the counter drugs/OTC's.
These drugs work by eliminating the scales and controlling the Psoriatic process
