Management Strategies

Treatment for guttate psoriasis may involve

  • Antibiotics: To address the underlying streptococcal infection, though they rarely affect the psoriasis directly.
  • Phototherapy: Narrowband UVB phototherapy is frequently used.
  • Topical Treatments: Including cortisone creams and emollients to manage symptoms.
  • Systemic Treatments: For more severe cases, treatments may extend to systemic medications like methotrexate or biologics.

Long-term Management

Although guttate psoriasis can resolve within a few months without treatment, it can also recur or evolve into chronic plaque psoriasis. Long-term management focuses on mitigating triggers and managing symptoms through a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medical treatments.
