The causes and the pathological mechanisms of psoriasis are only partially understood. The different treatments tend to inhibit the proliferation of the keratinocytes as well as the dermal inflammation. Anthralin ("minute treatment"), tar, corticosteroids, photochemotherapy and retinoids are the most frequently used treatments, some by the general practitioner, other by the dermatologist.
