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

View allI'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?
kindly consult dermatologist.

I've been dealing with a really itchy crotch and butt for a while now, and its really bothering me. Whenever I scratch, these scalelike things show up, and Ive noticed that the area looks darker compared to the surrounding skin. The itchiness is worse at night, and if I scratch too much, some fluid starts to come out. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
That could be fungal infection,vist Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm taking Keraboost tablets every morning. Is it okay if I start taking two tablets instead of one?
no one tablet in a day is enough ,if you consume morethan one it comes with complications like constipation,abdominal discomfort etc., consume balanced diet with extra protien which helps for growth of healthy hair.
