Suggest Remedy For Psoriasis
Hi, I was diagnosed with psoriasis about three years ago. I find that every scrap or cut I have heals pink like a scar. Also, during my flare ups, my skin becomes discolored. I know this is normal, and I use calcipotriene (dovonex) topical ointment, but I was wondering if tanning will help subside this redness.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Psoriasis cannot be totally cured.
It can be only controlled.
You can use steroid creams to control this.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
And get the medication prescribed.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
