How to live well with psoriasis in specific locations
There is no permanent cure available at the moment, but lesions and plaques can be cleared by a range of treatment with medicines. Everyone copes with treatment of psoriasis differently and the choice of therapy should largely be based on dialogue between a doctor and you.
It is essential to apply/use a chosen treatment of psoriasis correctly. No matter how effective a treatment is, it is likely not to work or to exacerbate psoriasis if it is wrongly administered.
Both topical and systemic treatments are available for psoriasis, and these may sometimes be combined.
