Hi doctor,
I need a permanent cure for psoriasis. Kindly suggest a treatment to cure psoriasis permanently. What are the different types of treatment available? What causes psoriasis? What are the precautions to be taken to avoid its recurrence? Kindly suggest some ointments, hair lotion, shampoo, vitamins, and moisturizers for skin patches and skin flakes presenting with hair loss. Currently, I am taking Sorvate C, Halox S, HHomega tablets, Betalic lotion, and Dankare shampoo.
Hi, welcome to icliniq.
It's very sad to hear that you are having this skin issue since 3years, I can totally sense your frustration. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with some genetic, environmental influence. If there is family history of psoriasis, then the chance of getting psoriasis ranges from 10-20%. Psoriasis is a common skin disease, seen in upto 3% of general population in the world. This is not contagious, doesn't spread from one person to another. There will be increase skin proliferation (growth) that forms new skin every 4 days in psoriasis instead of every 4 weeks(which is normal), resulting in premature skin cells which appear as scales. There is no exact cause for psoriasis, if the exact cause was known then there would have been permanent cure for this disease. It is a chronic T cell mediated inflammatory disease with lot of triggering factors- immunological, physical trauma, stress, infections, genetics, seasonal variation, obesity, alcohol, smoking, certain drugs.
