can psoriasis be cured
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission. Treatments are available to help you manage symptoms. And you can incorporate lifestyle habits and coping strategies to help you live better with psoriasis

I've been dealing with this rash that appears on one or both of my upper thighs for years now. It's not always there, but when it shows up, it tends to stick around for months. It usually starts out as one or two small circles and then spreads to a much larger area over a week or two. It's not painful, just a bit elevated. It never scabs or blisters, though it only itches when I scratch it or something touches it. I find it quite unsightly and really want to figure out what this could be. Any ideas?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with some red spots or maybe an infection on my penis foreskin recently. I tried using a fourderm tube because a chemist recommended it, but it seems to only provide temporary relief. I'm really looking for some proper advice on what to do next. Could you help me understand what's going on?
