Treatment Options for Small-Plaque Parapsoriasis
Because small-plaque parapsoriasis tends to be benign, there may be no need for medical treatment. Nevertheless, you may apply petroleum or other OTC emollients to the affected area to retain moistures and manage the symptoms. In case you need special treatment, it typically begins with the use of prescription steroids. It should be applied topically on a daily basis over a period of 2 to 3 months. Your doctor will monitor and then assess the skin to see whether the symptoms improve. If not, light therapy can be recommended. This treatment uses a special light device to transmit ultraviolet light to the skin. You need to attend a session at least 2 times per week. [7]
