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.
