Psoriasis, also known as psoriasis, is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment and management. So, how can psoriasis be treated? Let's take a look together. Firstly, local treatment. This is a common method for psoriasis treatment, which is mainly to directly apply drugs to the skin damaged areas through ointment, emulsion or spray. You can choose glucocorticoids, vitamin D3 derivatives, retinoids, etc. These drugs, such as calcipotriol ointment, tacrolimus ointment, salicylic acid ointment, etc., can all have a relieving effect.

 Secondly, the more common physical therapy is another effective method for treating psoriasis. Physical therapy includes phototherapy, 308nm excimer light, etc. Through ultraviolet irradiation, the growth rate of skin cells can be slowed down, inflammation and scales can be reduced. Common phototherapy methods include narrow spectrum UVB, UVA, etc.

Finally, patients should also pay attention to psychological treatment. In addition to medication and phototherapy, lifestyle adjustments also have a significant impact on the treatment of psoriasis. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and maintaining a positive mindset, can help strengthen the body's immune system and reduce the occurrence of psoriasis. 

The above treatment methods are for reference only, and the specific treatment plan needs to be formulated based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice. Meanwhile, psoriasis is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment and management. Patients should maintain patience and confidence, and actively cooperate with doctors' treatment.
