how to cure psoriasis permanently - #6597
I've been struggling with psoriasis for years, and it feels like nothing really works long-term. I’ve tried different creams, medicated shampoos, and even dietary changes, but the flare-ups keep coming back. Is there actually a permanent cure for psoriasis, or is it just about managing symptoms? My psoriasis mainly affects my scalp, elbows, and knees, but sometimes it spreads to other areas when I’m stressed. I’ve noticed that cold weather makes it worse, and even small things like a scratch can cause new patches to appear. Some doctors have told me it’s an autoimmune condition, so does that mean it can’t ever fully go away? I’ve read about biologic treatments that target the immune system, but I worry about side effects. Are these safe for long-term use, and do they actually stop psoriasis permanently? I’ve also seen people talk about home remedies like aloe vera, turmeric, and Dead Sea salt baths. Do any of these actually work, or are they just temporary relief? Diet is another thing I’ve been curious about. Some people say that cutting out dairy and gluten helped their psoriasis, while others mention omega-3 supplements. Is there scientific proof that diet plays a role, or is it just trial and error? Also, I’m really self-conscious about the scaly patches and redness, especially when it’s on visible areas like my hands or scalp. Are there treatments that can help with the discoloration after the scales go away? What’s the best way to prevent new flare-ups from happening? Has anyone actually cured their psoriasis permanently, or is it just something I have to learn to live with? I’d love to hear what has worked for others.
