Materials & Methods: 90patients of psoriasis of both genders were divided into 2 groups of 40 each.Psoriasis area severity index (PASI) was assessed in both groups. Results: Common clinical features were scaling seen in 16 in group I and 14 in group II,red lesion seen 12 in group I and 13 in group II, burning pain seen 8 in group I and 11 in group II, thick lesions seen 9 in group I and 6 in group II, it chin seen in 27 in group I and 24 in group II and joint pain seen in 12 in group I and14 in group II respectively. The difference was non-significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that Methotrexate found to be superior than clobetasol propionate.
