I use Clobetasol topical ointment (steroidal), which helps with the itching and redness during my flareups. I also use tacrolimus topical ointment that is a non-steroidal. It helps to keep my skin moisturized without thinning out my skin like the first one does.

It doesn't itch anymore unless I happen to scratch inadvertently and then it's all I can do to leave it alone. I have been using Gold Bond psoriasis relief cream which really seems to help. Having this has been a nightmare and I feel sorry for anyone who gets this.
