Phototherapy and Other Therapies
Another strategy to assist in symptom relief is phototherapy, a therapy that makes use of ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV radiation aids in the reduction of inflammation and may slow the development of new skin cells.
A dermatologist with experience treating erythrodermic psoriasis is the best choice. You might receive both oral and topical drugs from them. It’s possible that taking many drugs together will be more effective than using just one.
Additional medication may be needed to:
- Reduce discomfort
- Promote sleep
- Reduce the itch
- Heal a skin infection
