HI if you are allergic to steroids you can use products containing Tar and salicylic acid like polytar shampoo or fongitar shampoo.you can also use ketoconazoleshampoos.TO remove thick plaques you should use 10% salicylic acid mixed with mineral oil coer with a shower cap and leave it overnight and then wash off in the morning.
Vitamin D analogues like calcipotriene lotion can be used for maintenance
if problem persists then systemic treatment can be considered like methotrexate
