Topical psoriasis treatments Anthralin Corticosteroids Salicylic acid Tar Tazarotene Topical immunomodulators Vitamin D analogs Topical corticosteroids Mechanism of action Topical corticosteroid therapy for inflammatory skin diseases was first introduced in 1952 and remains a mainstay of modern therapy [1]. Steroids are therapeutic by virtue of their anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, immunosuppressive and vasoconstrictive properties [2]. They bind to cellular steroidreceptors to form a steroid-receptor complex, which is then transported into the cell nucleus to attach to glucocorticoid-response elements (GRE) on DNA.
This association held true when confounding factors of age, education, marital status, smoking, and alcohol were accounted for [36]. These results suggest that obesity may be a predisposing risk factor for the development of psoriasis. Herron and colleagues performed a cross-sectional study of psoriasis patients and found that the prevalence of obesity was doubled in psoriatic patients when compared to the general population [35]. However, they also found that when patients with psoriasis were asked to recollect their weights at the time of their diagnosis using a diagram to assess body image perception, patients with psoriasis were equally likely to be obese as their non-psoriatic counterparts.
