1. Tar treatment (coal tar)
2. Cyclosporine (Sandimmune)
3. Methotrexate (Amethopterin)
4. Hydroxyurea (Hydrea)

Both substances are applied to the skin's surface. Tar and anthralin inhibit DNA synthesis and arrest abnormal cell growth.
Rationale 2: Cyclosporine (Sandimmune) is not a topical treatment.
Rationale 3: Methotrexate (Amethopterin) is not a topical treatment.
Rationale 4: Hydroxyurea (Hydrea) is not topical.
