Abstract

Introduction: psoriasis consists of a disorder of epidermal cell proliferation, clinically characterized by excessive skin peeling and the presence of lesions in the form of hyperkeratosic and pruritic plaques located on the trunk, joints and scalp.
Presentation of cases: case 1: 62-year-old female patient of urban origin who comes to the dermatology consultation, presenting epidermal cell proliferation, with excessive skin desquamation and hyperkeratosic, pruritic plaques located throughout the body, including the scalp. Case 2: 26-year-old female patient, rural origin who comes to the dermatology consultation of her health area, patient who, since pregnancy, began with an erythematous squamous lesion in the abdomen and then generalized, accompanied by itching and which, despite topical treatment, did not improve.

Discussion: Follow-up of patients with vulgar psoriasis. Treatment with acupuncture and auto hemotherapy was indicated at selected acupuncture points, in several programmed cycles.
Conclusions: highly satisfactory evolution was achieved with progressive disappearance of the skin lesions, due to the clinical response obtained.
