Topical treatments (also called topicals) are medications applied directly to the skin affected by psoriasis. They can work to moisturize the skin, relieve pain and itch, reduce inflammation, and/or slow down the high rate of cell growth in the area where it is applied. Topical treatments may be available over the counter or as a prescription.
