Retinoids

Currently the only FDA approved treatment for psoriasis is tazarotene (Tazorac). It is a vitamin A derivation that functions by peeling the thick scale of psoriasis and again forced the rapidly dividing cells to mature. The benefits as with the Vitamin D derivates are that they do not cause thinning. The main downside is that they can be quite irritating to the skin due to the peeling effects of the medication.
