Used primarily in the treatment of plaque psoriasis, this compound helps regulate skin cell growth and differentiation. It reduces the rapid buildup of skin cells that cause scaling and inflammation typical in psoriatic lesions. Often formulated in topical ointments or creams, it is applied directly to affected areas for localized effect. It is frequently combined with corticosteroids to enhance efficacy and reduce irritation. Due to its favorable safety profile, it is suitable for long-term management of mild to moderate psoriasis in adults and children.
