Quote:
1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and its analogues have been found to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis when applied topically. Psoriasis is a cutaneous disorder involving abnormal cellular proliferation and differentiation. The mechanism of action of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and its analogues in the treatment of psoriasis is accounted for by their antiproliferative activity for keratinocytes and their stimulation of epidermal cell differentiation.
One analog on RX is Dovonex ointment.
