9Treatment Options for Oral Psoriasis
If oral psoriasis does not cause difficulty swallowing or chewing or pain, then treatment would not be necessary. Your doctor may need to wait and see whether the condition will resolve itself. During this period, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, which may keep the mouth healthy and help alleviate mild symptoms. Topical anesthetics or prescription anti-inflammatories would be effective in easing swelling and pain as well. Some systemic medications can help, such as methotrexate, acitretin, apremilast, cyclosporin, oral steroids, and certain biologics. They are prescribed when topical products do not work as expected.
