hi, welcome to HCM,
psoriasis need regular treatment for cure.
apply emollient containing lactic acid+ urea 2-3 times daily.
after 10 minutes of applying emollient apply super potent steroid preferably containing salicylic acid.
tab metotrexate is very good effective but needs dose titration and prior liver function test and dose titration as per response.
hope this will help you.
thanks

Hello,
I can understand your concern for psoriasis on feet. I can get from your query that you have quite severe form of psoriasis which is causing cuts and pain over the same. In your kind of cases I first of all treat the acute condition by high potency steroid such as halobetasol mixed with an antibiotic cream such mupirocin for two times a day.
A proper moisturization is quite necessary to keep the area hydrated and moisturized well. In some of the cases I do start with oral methotrexate after proper evaluation. You can take further guidance from your treating dermatologist.
Take care.
