For inner ear psoriasis, the following treatments can be considered:

- Topical Treatments: These include ear drops and creams containing corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. Vitamin D creams like calcipotriene (Dovonex) may also be used.
- Moisturizers: Over-the-counter moisturizers free of alcohol, artificial preservatives, and fragrances can help. Ingredients like salicylic acid, coal tar, colloidal oatmeal, or petrolatum are beneficial.
- Retinoids: Creams containing retinoids, such as tazarotene (Tazorac), can be effective.
- Systemic Treatments: Oral or systemic corticosteroids and biologics may be prescribed for more severe cases.
- Professional Removal: A dermatologist should remove any buildup of skin and scales to prevent complications like eardrum damage and infection.

Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
