Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition your wife is suffering for can be folliculitis or furuncle.
You can use Tbact cream cream over the affected area twice daily .
Also you can use a good antibacterial soap like SOAPEX soap for bathing.


Inj tricort contains steroid which may worsen the condition and psoriasis also.
Better avoid the injection.
Acetret is good for psoriasis you can take it.Atarax is for itching and its safe.
Few prescription drugs and antibiotics can help a lot in cure of this problem.
Hope this helps.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and prescription medicines.

Regards.
