Psoriasis, commonly known as psoriasis, currently has no cure that completely eradicates the disease clinically, but proper treatment can achieve clinical cure, meaning the skin lesions can completely disappear and remain in remission for a long time. However, the disease may recur when consuming spicy and stimulating foods, staying up late frequently, having low immunity, or repeated inflammation of the tonsils. Therefore, once psoriasis occurs, it is advisable to seek formal treatment in the dermatology department of a regular hospital, and avoid using folk or secret remedies, which can delay the condition and cause the disease to worsen progressively. If the condition becomes more severe, such as erythrodermic psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, hospitalization is recommended for treatment.

How is psoriasis treated effectively?

Psoriasis, commonly known as psoriasis vulgaris, is a disease potentially related to decreased immunity, genetic inheritance, and recurrent tonsillitis. Once this disease occurs, it cannot be completely eradicated and may be carried for life. Therefore, it is crucial to follow standard medical treatments and avoid relying on folk remedies or secret recipes, as they could delay treatment progress. The most common treatment methods include oral and topical medications, such as Xiaoyin granules and compound clobetasol propionate cream. If possible, it is advisable to visit a dermatology department in a reputable hospital for narrowband ultraviolet light therapy. For more severe symptoms, treatment with biological agents through injections is also an option. This disease can achieve clinical control and clinical remission but cannot be completely eradicated.

Does psoriasis spread?

Psoriasis, commonly known as psoriasis, is a non-contagious disease, but there is a certain probability of genetic inheritance. The main causes of psoriasis are related to reduced immunity, family genetic allergies, or repeated inflammation of the tonsils. The causes are quite complex, and once the disease occurs, it cannot be completely eradicated and may be carried for life with long-term recurrent attacks. After the onset of this disease, it is essential to seek standard treatment at the dermatology department of a formal hospital. Generally, through oral and topical medications, combined with narrow-band ultraviolet phototherapy, clinical cure can generally be achieved. If the symptoms are severe, treatment with biologics can be combined. Normally, it is important to regulate one's diet and lifestyle habits, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, try not to eat raw and cold items, and prevent tonsillitis.

Can psoriasis be cured?

Psoriasis is a type of chronic inflammatory skin disease, with the plaque type being the most common and is treatable. However, symptoms can recur, often worsening in winter and improving in summer. It requires enhanced skin cleansing and moisturizing care, a light diet, supplementation with vitamins and high-quality proteins, and the oral intake of medications such as total glucosides of peony capsules, tripterygium glycoside tablets, folic acid tablets, as well as indigo naturalis psoriasis capsules or curcuma psoriasis tablets. Topical tacalcitol ointment should be applied to the affected skin, combined with physical treatments like narrow-band ultraviolet light therapy. Some cases may require medicated baths or treatment with retinoic acid medications, particularly for special types of psoriasis such as erythrodermic, pustular, and psoriatic arthritis types. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)

Is psoriasis a fungal infection?

Psoriasis is caused by a combination of decreased immunity, familial inheritance, recurrent inflammation of the tonsils, and some unknown comprehensive factors. This disease is not related to fungal infections. Once psoriasis appears, it is not easy to completely eradicate. For cases with milder symptoms, through treatment, the overall skin lesions can completely disappear, and they can remain in remission for a long time. If the symptoms are more severe, it is advised to seek formal treatment at a dermatology department in a regular hospital. Treatment options can include oral medication combined with topical treatments, along with narrowband ultraviolet light therapy. If conditions allow, treatment can also involve injections of biological agents. If the condition is more severe, manifesting as erythrodermic psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, hospitalization is recommended. Regular exercise should be maintained to boost immunity.
