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