Good afternoon. Psoriasis is a chronic condition characterised by flares and remissions. The medicine you mentioned is indeed used for psoriasis. - if you are using it without the permission or under supervision of your treating dermatologist, kindly refrain from doing so. - if you have been prescribed the same for psoriasis of the genital areas, follow your treating dermatologist's instructions to the letter with regular follow ups - for the very simple fact that he/she has seen the lesions and I have not. - creams for psoriasis are prescribed based on many factors - including thickness, redness, itchiness, and body part affected. - if you still are not comfortable applying it over the genital areas, there are other non steroid based creams that can be used instead, though efficacy may vary among them.
