Comparing Oral Medications for Palmoplantar Psoriasis

Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP), a stubborn skin condition affecting the palms and soles, can significantly impact a person's quality of life. This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy and safety of three oral medications for treating PPP: cyclosporine, methotrexate, and acitretin. The researchers aimed to determine which medication offered the most effective and sustainable treatment for PPP. Their findings suggest that cyclosporine provides the fastest resolution of lesions, while acitretin offers the longest duration of remission.
