Hello doctor, i m AAAA 35 years old, single adult. I have hypertension since 33 years old. Now I got psoriasis at my leg, scalp and buttock. I ever consult skin specialist regarding my skin problem for the past 4 months and still under treatment. I also got red spot on my face especially under sun. I need further advise from doctor regarding my skin problem.
Hi there, You haven't mentioned that for hypertension what type of antihypertensive medications you are on, because It's important to note that certain ACE inhibitors and Beta blockers can cause or aggravate Psoriasis, so better to discuss that with your physician. Now there are different types of creams and lotions to treat the Psoriasis depending upon the part, severity,type and area of involvement of the body and also the treating dermatologist. For face some dermatologists prescribe a mild steroidal and salicylic acid combination and then turn to Tacrolimus or Pimecrolimus ointment thereafter. Smilarly for scalp there are different topical lotions and shampoos containing tar, salicylic acid an steroid. So I mean It needs to be discussed with your dermatologist and after a thorough examination he'll be able to prescribe you with the best possible therapy for you. I hope this helps. Take care
