I've been dealing with scalp psoriasis and psoriasis on other parts of my body, and I've tried all sorts of medications, but it seems like they only provide temporary relief. Is there anything out there that might work as a permanent treatment? I'd love some advice on this as it's really been bothering me.

For scalp psoriasis and psoriasis, there is no permanent cure, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Topical treatments such as clobetasol propionate (0.05%) solution can be applied directly to the scalp to reduce inflammation and itching. In addition, systemic medications like methotrexate or biologics such as adalimumab can be prescribed by a dermatologist to help control psoriasis flare-ups. It is important to follow up regularly with your healthcare provider to adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I'm getting really itchy all over my body whenever the weather is humid, and I'm not in an air-conditioned room. It's super uncomfortable! Any idea why that's happening or what might be causing it?

Itchy skin in humid weather could be due to a condition called prickly heat, also known as heat rash. To relieve the itching, you can try using a soothing lotion containing calamine or aloe vera. You can also take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to stay cool and wear loose, breathable clothing.
