Suggest Treatment Red Psoriasis
How do I get rid of the random red psoriasis spots all over my body? I had them a few years ago & then I got pregnant so I quit smoking & drinking. A few months ago I started smoking the occasional cigarette and they started popping up again. Since I realized this is whats causing it I've stopped but I dont know how to get rid of the spots.

Hi,
Psoriasis vulgaris is an autoimmune skin disease of unknown etiology. It is a chronic and relapsing disease. Smoking can precipitate or exacerbate the disease. Kindly you stop smoking permenantly. You consult dermatologist for further treatment.
I would suggest..
- acitretin
- methotrexate
- antihistaminics
- topical calcipotriol
- topical steroid
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
