Pustular psoriasis can indeed be challenging to manage, and finding the right treatment may take some time. Here are some commonly used treatments for pustular psoriasis:

1. Topical Treatments:
- Corticosteroids: These creams help reduce inflammation during flare-ups but should not be used long-term without medical supervision.
- Coal Tar: Effective for managing sores, especially on palms and soles, and can be used long-term.

2. Systemic Medications:
- Oral Retinoids: These are used to reduce inflammation and skin cell growth but are not suitable for pregnant individuals.
- Biologics: Medications like Humira (adalimumab) and Stelara (ustekinumab) target inflammatory pathways and are often used in more severe cases.

3. Light Therapy:
- PUVA (Psoralen and UVA): This involves a combination of a drug that makes skin more sensitive to light and exposure to UVA light.

It's crucial to discuss all potential treatments with your dermatologist to tailor a plan that suits your specific condition and to understand the possible side effects. Additionally, joining a community like MyPsoriasisTeam may provide support and shared experiences from others with similar conditions.
