I've been dealing with psoriasis for almost 15 years now and have tried numerous medications, but I haven't had any luck in clearing it up. I'm really wondering if there's any proper and permanent treatment out there for this condition. Could you share any insights or advice?

while there's no definitive "cure" for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage and control symptoms; consider consulting a dermatologist about advanced therapies like biologics (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab), apremilast, or JAK inhibitors, which have shown significant efficacy in achieving and maintaining clearance, especially for moderate-to-severe cases

View allI'm really worried about what's called Schamberg disease and Im trying to figure out if theres a way to treat it at home. What kind of home treatments are out there? Can it actually be managed without seeing a doctor, or is professional help necessary?
Schamberg disease, also known as progressive pigmented purpuric dermatosis, is a rare skin condition characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown spots or patches on the skin. Treatment Options: While there is no cure for Schamberg disease, various treatments can help manage its symptoms. Here are some conventional treatment options: 1. Topical corticosteroids: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, ointments, or lotions can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, can help reduce symptoms. 3. Immunosuppressive medications: In severe cases, medications like pentoxifylline or colchicine may be prescribed to suppress the immune system's response. Home Treatment and Self-Care: While medical treatments are essential, there are some home remedies and self-care measures that can help alleviate symptoms: 1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce itching and inflammation. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers. 2. Avoid irritants: Steer clear of harsh soaps, detergents, or other products that can irritate the skin. 3. Protect from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and protective clothing to prevent further skin damage. 4. Cool compresses: Applying cool, wet compresses to the affected areas can help reduce itching and inflammation. 5. Elevate affected areas: If the affected areas are on your legs or arms, elevate them to reduce swelling.

I've been experiencing some hair loss and recently visited a hair care doctor who recommended I use Anaphase shampoo, Racine Hair Lotion, and Trichopro Plus. I'm a bit concerned and curious if these products, especially the Racine Hair Lotion, are safe to use. Also, is this something I'm going to have to use for the rest of my life? Would love some guidance on this.
Continue same treatment.
