you need to revise your diagnosis. psoriasis is generally a non itching condition. although koebnerization (lesion appears at the place of trauma) is distressing in psoriasis. pimple like lesion as you told(may be due to guttate psoriasis) which appears after some infection else where. psorisis needs steroid and it should be cautiously tapered whether topical or oral otherwise cause rebound phenomenon. for itching you can take tab hydroxizine 25 mg daily at night.
