CHILD’S HEALTH/SKIN DISORDERS: PSORIASIS TREATMENT
Treatment
No cure for psoriasis is yet available, but much can be done to improve the condition. If your child has a rash, it is advisable to see your doctor in any case, especially if there is a strong family history of psoriasis. Your doctor can advise you on the methods of treatment available, and may suggest referral to a paediatric skin specialist. The treatment will depend on the age of the child, and the severity of the disease.
A number of different ointments and creams, including cortisone creams and coal tar preparations, can be prescribed for psoriasis, and ultraviolet light (sunlight) may be beneficial.
When to see your doctor

Prevention
