Abstract
A clinical case of psoriasis with involvement of scalp and armpits areas is presented. Differential diagnosis was made between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The diagnosis of psoriasis was confirmed morphologically. Mometasone furoate lotion was selected for topical therapy of intertriginous areas (armpits), and the symptoms were eliminated after one week of treatment. For the reason of extensive scaling, betametasone plus salicylic acid lotion was administered to the scalp area, with significant symptoms improvement by 14th day of treatment. This case illustrates the importance of proper choice of the form of therapy, namely, topical steroid - mometasone furoate, with proper consideration of the characteristics and localization of inflammatory process.
