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 really struggling here. I've been dealing with multiple ringworms for about five months now, and it's been so frustrating. I was taking It mac 200, and it seemed to work at first, but as soon as I stopped, the ringworms came right back, and I've noticed my skin has gotten darker in those areas too. Is there something I can do to get rid of them for good? I'm really just looking for a permanent solution.

I'm really worried about my mom because she's got these dark blue vein patches showing up on her thighs, and shes complaining of a bit of pain there. Could this be something serious? What could it possibly be?
The dark blue blood veins patches on your mother's thighs, accompanied by mild pain, could be indicative of varicose veins or spider veins, which are common conditions characterized by enlarged, twisted veins. These veins can become visible due to weakened valves, allowing blood to pool and cause discoloration. Other possible causes include hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, and age-related factors. It's essential to consult a general surgeon
