hello. I am amol. I have been suffering from psoriasis for the past 15 yrs. I tried many ayurvedic medicines but having no cure. With the view of spending my remaining life in peace i have decided to go for steroids. Dr v k somani at hyderabad deals with such cases. Can i have a honest opinion on this?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Psoriasis has effective treatment.You can get remission with those.Mild forms can be treated with salicylic acid and steroids like clobetasol in the form of ointment.Systemic medications like soriatane which is a retinoid is very effective.For some it is combined with phototherapy. Even cytotoxics like methotrexate also used in rotation along with soriatane which gives remission.Biologics are recommended for patients who can afford the price.So it is better to have a dermatology consultation and start the therapy.But you should have a regular follow up with your treating doctor.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
