if the derm took a biopsy of the skin lesions how would it be inconclusive.
the meds noted above can be for many skin disorders., but what is generally used to treat psoraisis.
continue with meds as directed in a few weeks you'll notice a big difference.
also a treatment that is call occlusion - apply medication to skin ,,wrap in clear wrap for over night treatment. this will help the medication to reach deep in the skin layers to clear faster .Steroids and coal tar are both the best medication . great on scalp to.

hey, i had more joint symptoms than skin, but none of the topical steroids (and I tried many) worked for me, it only started clearing up on methotrexate that I was put on for psoriatic arthrotis
