Brief Answer:
Topical Greasy thick creams work best in decreasing symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for asking a question at Healthcaremagic
I'm Dr Chaithanya attending you
Palmoplantar psoriasis is better treated by thick emollient and greasy barrier creams
I understand that psoriasis in this area is bothersome than other areas
Urea and Salicylic acid help in removal of scales.
Topical steroids are used in severe cases. If the patient doesn't respond to even steroids, talk to your Dermatologist about Immunomodulators and Phytotherapy.
She can take cetrizine tablet 10mg at night to get temporary relief from itching.
Hope this helps. Please leave a good rating and feedback.

Brief Answer:
No, it will not cure but control
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up question.
No injection will cure Psoriasis.
Doctor might be talking about Steroid or Biologics which can control the disease and prolong the remissions.
Stress is a major enemy here. So stress, overweight, alcohol, smoking, can aggravate the disease anytime.
Be away from them.
Hope this helps
