Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic, lifelong skin disease most commonly causing erythematous popular and scaly plaques depending on lesion type. The Aim of this study was to determine the effect of three different; topically applied; herbal mixtures for the treatment of psoriasis and evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of these mixtures. This study was aimed to determine the effect of three different topically applied herbal mixtures for the treatment of psoriasis and evaluate their clinical efficacy and tolerability. Forty-eight patients with slight to severe chronic psoriasis were enrolled and randomised and divided into three subgroups (12 patients in each group utilised one of the three mixtures, while 12 patients were considered controls). The application of these mixtures reduced inflammation, relieved itching, and reduced scaly skin lesions, with mixture A having a potency of 75% and mixtures B and C having a potency of 58%. Also, the antibacterial effect of these mixtures was investigated. In conclusion, the data demonstrated that these herbal mixtures were effective in treatment.
