Sure there's a cure. The cure is in each and everyone of Us! Individually we deal with it differently Fred. There's a verse in the holy-bible that goes like this: "The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear"? Proverbs 18:14.
What this basically says is this, all human beings have a healthy spirit before anything. If we are told lies such as, "there is no cure", it crushes our spirit like a grape... but if we are told there is a cure, it strengthens our spirit like solid gold and we remain healthy no matter what!
The cure is with-in us, yes.🙂

Unfortunately, there's currently no known cure for psoriasis — but the good news is that many treatments can help manage symptoms and keep flare-ups under control. The right approach depends on the type and severity of psoriasis.

Here's an overview of the main treatment options:

Topical Treatments (usually first-line)
- Corticosteroid creams or ointments to reduce inflammation
- Nonsteroidal topicals like PDE4 inhibitors or AhR agonists
- Coal tar, salicylic acid, or vitamin D-based creams
- Moisturizers to keep skin hydrated and reduce itching

Phototherapy (light therapy)
- Uses UVB or UVA light to slow skin cell growth
- Usually done several times a week for a month or more
- Available in clinics or as at-home units

Systemic Treatments (for moderate to severe cases)
- Oral medications like methotrexate or cyclosporine
- Biologics, which target specific parts of the immune system
- JAK inhibitors (oral pills)

Lifestyle Changes
- Regular moisturizing
- A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet
- Staying active
- Identifying and avoiding personal triggers It's worth noting that finding the right treatment can take time — sometimes weeks or months. Working closely with a dermatologist is the best way to build a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. If a current treatment stops working or isn't giving the results you hoped for, don't stop it on your own — talk to your doctor about switching or adjusting.
