Hi Sinha,
Psoriasis is a controllable skin disease but not curable.
Methotrexate, Photo therapy or Biologics... all are effective remedy for psoriasis
BUT none can declare you that it will never back.. so it may reappear at any time of your life.
But i can assure you that it is not a life threatening disease (if not in flare).
We are sorry to say that there is no permanent cure of psoriasis yet.
with regards.
