Abstract: A treatment to alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis consisting of topical application of a cream, ointment or lotion containing, as the principal active ingredient, one or more 6-substituted nicotinamides and or 2-substituted pyrazinamides is disclosed. The therapeutic composition may include a single member of the above active ingredients present in a total amount of from 0.01 to 5 percent by weight of the total composition, or a plurality thereof present in a preferred concentration range of from 0.02 to 2 percent by weight of the total composition. Topical application of the therapeutic composition in a cream, ointment, or a water or alcohol solution has been found to achieve from substantial to complete remissions of psoriasis in humans.
