Patient using emollients on the selected plaques within one (1) week before randomization and during the study. 10. Patient with initiation of, or expected changes to concomitant medication that may affect psoriasis vulgaris (e.g., beta blockers, anti-malaria drugs, lithium and ACE inhibitors) within 2 weeks prior to randomization and during the study. 11. Patient with current hypercalcemia or past history of hypercalcemia, vitamin D toxicity. 12. History of any severe disease or serious current condition (based on patient interview and/or results of screening physical examination and safety laboratory assessments) which, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the patient at risk by participating in the study or would interfere significantly with the evaluation of study results or the study course (e.g. cancer, severe cardiopathy, severe renal insufficiency, severe hepatic insufficiency). 13. For all patients: a known history of positive serology for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV. 14. For patients consenting to skin biopsies: positive serology (HbsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV 1 or 2) (blood sampling done at screening visit). 15. Patient who has received treatment with any non-marketed drug substance within the 4-week period or five (5) half-lives whichever is longer prior to randomization. 16. Patient with current participation in any other interventional clinical trial. 17. Patient with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component(s) of the study drugs. 18. Patient with any concomitant medical or dermatological disorder(s) which might preclude accurate evaluation of the psoriasis on the treatment mini-zones. 19. Patient foreseeing an intensive solar exposure during the study (UV radiation, etc.) or having been exposed within two weeks preceding the screening visit. 20. Patient impossible to contact in case of emergency. 21. In the opinion of the investigator, patient who is unlikely to comply with the study protocol (e.g. alcoholism, drug dependency or psychotic state). 22. Patient who is in an exclusion period in the National Biomedical Research Register of the French Ministry of Health at randomization. 23. Patient under legal supervision or guardianship, hospitalized in a public or private institution, for a reason other than the research or subject deprived of freedom. 24.
