Answer 1

Not that i know of

Answer 2

There can be substantial variability between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments. Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to finding the most appropriate treatment for their patient. The decision to employ a particular treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity. The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, comorbidities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken into consideration.

Medications with the least potential for adverse reactions are preferentially employed. If the treatment goal is not achieved with this approach then therapies with greater potential toxicity may be used. Medications with significant toxicity are reserved for severe unresponsive psoriasis. This is called the psoriasis treatment ladder. As a first step, medicated ointments or creams are used. This is called topical treatment. If topical treatment fails to achieve the desired goal then the next step would be to employ ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This type of treatment is called phototherapy. The third step involves the use of medications which are taken orally or by injection. This is approach is called systemic treatment.

Over time, psoriasis can become resistant to a specific therapy. A treatment may be periodically changed if it ceases to work or to reduce the chance of an adverse reaction occurring. This is called treatment rotation, or rotational therapy.

Answer 3

There's not really a cure.
But a psoriasis patient can have major successes with alternative therapies.
In Japan they do a therapy with little fish eating dead skin cells.
And in Israel they have the Dead Sea and patients have been known to stay clean for more than a year after a 2 week vacation.
Most health shops also sell Dead Sea salt in bags if you can't afford a vacation to Israel.
Juicing also seems to bring good results.

Good Luck.
Browse the web a lot of patients should have a blog or another little web-corner.

Answer 4

No there is not but there's treatment for it.

"Psoriasis is a chronic, meaning lifelong, condition because there is currently no cure. People often experience flares and remissions throughout their life. Controlling the signs and symptoms typically requires lifelong therapy."

Answer 5

go and see your doctor - he will put you on the appropriate medication depending on the type of you psoriasis you have. I'm not sure how you've diagnosed it without going to your Doctor!!
