Steroids are incorrectly vilified. Steroids are great! They are the most effective tool we have that aren't systemic.

Yes, steroids can damage the skin if abused. But they do not damage the skin if used correctly. You can also reduce the risk of damage by using calcipotriol (also called calcipotriene in the U.S.), a form of vitamin D3. It comes either in a combination cream together with a steroid (Enstilar, Taclonex, Dovobet, etc.) or you can buy it separately, and apply it either on its own, or together with the steroid by rubbing it in at the same time. Calcipotriol has no scary side effects when used normally, and studies have found that it helps normalize the skin, cancel out the skin-thinning effects of steroids and prevent recurrence.

Just to be clear, you can use topical steroids indefinitely, and people do. I've been doing it for about 25 years without any skin damage. There are, as you say, strong steroids that aren't usually recommended for long periods of time, such as clobetasol. But milder steroids like betamethasone, fluocinonide and desoximethasone are fine, especially when combined with calcipotriol.

So. Go, steroids. And calcipotriol. But there are of course other alternatives, some of them available over the counter.

I'll copy from an earlier comment of mine:

  • Coal tar (shampoos, gels, ointments) work very well for many people. It is the only over-the-counter medication that actively treats psoriasis; it reduces inflammation, slows cell growth and descales. Good products include Psoriatrax (has the highest-dose shampoo), Psoriasin (has a very fast-drying but expensive gel), Neutrogena T/Gel and MG217.
  • Some studies have shown that creams with zinc pyrithione help with psoriasis.
  • A few studies have shown oregon grape (mahonia aquifolium, sometimes marketed as berberine, which is one of the chemicals that are known to be active) has an effect on psoriasis. There are creams available online. (Ignore oral supplements; research indicates it must be applied to the skin.)
  • A supplement called Meriva, also called curcumin phytosome, is a particular formulation of curcumin, which is a compound that comes from the turmeric root. Studies have shown it to have a good effect on psoriasis (while other curcumin supplements seem to be digested and eliminated by the body too fast to have much of an effect). See my comment here. Products include this one from Jarrow.
  • A university in Bergen, Norway, has gotten very good results in an initial preliminary study of a herring roe supplement called Romega (also see this slideshow). In the US, it is licensed under the name Swanson Ultra. It contains the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, extracted from herring roe, which has unusually high phospholipid content. Omega-3 acids have been shown to reduce psoriasis symptoms (e.g. this Brazilian study). It's relatively expensive considering that the recommended dose is 6 capsules per day, which makes it about $2.34 per day currently (in Norway, Romega costs 500 NOK, or about $55, or about $1.80 per day; but I don't think you can order it from Norway to the U.S.). The university is currently conducting a clinical trial where they're testing a more concentrated version called Psorax25, which the company hopes can be marketed specifically for psoriasis. (They haven't posted the results yet, but when they do, they will be published here.) In the meantime, that's something you could try.
  • Many, many studies have found a strong correlation between psoriasis and smoking, alcohol consumption, stress and obesity. Eliminating any of these will help.
  • Descaling helps a lot, and all the tools you need for that are all available without prescription.

    > steroids and corticosteroids

    Those are the same thing, by the way. The precise term is glucocorticoid, which is a type of corticosteroid, which is a type of steroid.
