How can mild psoriasis be cured?

Question

I hv been affected by mild scalp psoriasis. Only a patch about 2 sq. cm hv been affected. No itching and/burning sensation. Only scaling was going on. I consulted dematologist @ Apollo (one of the best hospitals in India). I was assured that it is in very early stage & was prescriped Diavonex scalp lotion. Tropical application 2times daily for 3 months improved my patch. Only 3 pin point areas & 1 patch of about 1/4" is still scaling. Three fingers of my hand have also been affected by nail psoriasis recently. I hv been prescriped Tazarotene 0.1% w/w oint. to apply locally at the nails & continue with earlier Diavonex, Fongiture shampoo & an anti-oxident. Can someone help me understanding the therapy going on me. Can some suggestions come across?

RE: Is there a cure for psoriasis? my 5 year old has a mild case of psoriasis on her head. If there is no cure, is there a way to keep it under control? I've been using Selsun Blue Shampoo when I give her a bath lately. I havedn't been using it long enough to notice a difference yet though. My Hubby had it when he was younger but grew out of it. He said his parents used some kind of ointment on him for it, BUT no one remembers what it was.

Psoriasis is not curable, if you have it mildly you should use medication on it constantly cause it spreads, the reason it will spread is because its a bacteria that causes itching after a while and a lot of scaling will appear all over the area, you need to check out the Pharmacy for coal tar extract, and even when its not acting up you can use dermavate cream to prevent any future outbreaks.

Answer 4

First off, I am not a doctor, but from all that I have read (since I have psoriasis as well) it isn't curable. The symptoms can be treated, but the underlying problem is often a fungus in the skin that isn't treatable. I have found shampoos with coal tar extract in them (like Neutragena T-Gel) work very well. I have also found that when I use hard water (water not treated by a water softener) it greatly worstens. Hope this information helps.
