Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this disease condition that you have. i have reviewed the information entirely and have also gone through the attached images. This disease condition is called psoriasis. This is caused by a rapid and excessive multiplication of cells of the skin.
There is no cure for psoriasis. Treatment consists in controlling the rapid cell multiplication and increasing sloughing off to relief symptoms. The primary goal of treatment is to stop the skin cells from growing so quickly using steroids, vitD derivatives, anthralin, antimitotic drugs, etc. Other products like coal tar, topical salycylic acid, moisturizers, etc can offers significant relief. Lifestyle measures, such as using a nonprescription cortisone cream and exposing your skin to small amounts of natural sunlight, also may improve your psoriasis symptoms.
I will suggest that you get consulted by a Rheumatologist who would make a full assessment of your condition and establish a treatment plan for this disease condition. Depending on your response to treatment, adjustments would be made until the goals of treatment are achieved.
Education is a major arm of treating this condition. I will suggest that you read through this patient friendly summarized version and return to me with questions and request for clarifications if need be. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/psoriasis/basics/treatment/con-0000?p=1
I hope this helps and addresses your query fully. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Please, feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
