A therapeutic intervention study of 20 patients with vulgar psoriasis, belonging to San Fernando Parish, in Montes, Sucre State (Venezuela), was carried out from May to December, 2013 who were randomly selected and assigned in 2 groups of identical quantity of members: a control group which used conventional medication with triamcinolone, and the study group which received topical treatment with Aloe vera cream (sabila) with inert base; in order to determine the effectiveness of the last one. To establish the comparison between both groups, non parametrical techniques were used due to the reduced number of patients, and a significance level of 0.05 was always considered. It was obtained that the therapeutic modality with sabila cream was as effective as the triamcinolone use, but unlike this last drug, it showed no adverse reactions. Thus, it could be concluded that the therapy with Aloe vera is effective to treat patients with vulgar psoriasis
