Nonpustular palmoplantar psoriasis can be disabling in causing painful fissuring and scaling. Preventive measures in avoiding friction and irritants can reduce the morbidity of this variant. Lubricants, anthralin, and corticosteroids form the mainstay of therapy in mild and moderate psoriasis of the palms and soles. Topical PUVA therapy and use of cytotoxic agents should be reserved for refractory cases.
