In this brief monography, it has been systematically reviewed the last studies on the efficacy and beneffit of the different drugs for the topical treatment of psoriasis and also an update of the classical agents such ditranol and tars. In the same way, it is also highlighted the adverse effects of the different drugs and the best combinations that improve the efficacy, tolerance and fullfilment of treatment.
