Abstract

The article provides an overview of studies on the use of topical glucocorticosteroids (TGCS) in psoriasis. It is noted that TGCS have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, immunosuppressive, vasoconstrictive and antiproliferative effects, which is important in the treatment of psoriasis. Most studies have shown that TGCS such as betamethasone, mometasone, alclomethasone and clobetazol shampoo are the first-line drugs for the treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis. It has been established that currently, for the treatment of psoriasis, it is preferable to use combined drugs betamethasone + calcipotriol, which allow for long-term control of the disease while following strict recommendations for their use. Salicylic acid and zinc pyrithione may be recommended to accelerate the regression of psoriasis. Nanotechnologies of the TGCS delivery system are being developed in order to increase their bioavailability.
