Hi,
Psoriasis is a chronic and relapsing disease of the skin. Exact cause is unknown. It is considered as autoimmune disease. Permenant cure is difficult. But, control of the disease is possible. Your husband can be kept disease free with long term treatment. Kindly you consult the dermatologist.
Stress,anxiety,dry weather,drugs like chloroquine may exacerbate the disease.
I would suggest...
- methotrexate
- acitretin
- local calcipotriol ointment
- tar containing shampoo
- regular blood tests
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.

Hi,
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease of unknown cause. It has tendency to relapse. There are many factors which might precipitate or exacerbate the psoriasis. Stress is a major factor. Kindly consult the dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
Psoriasis should be under control as it is difficult to cure completely and permenantly. So after the control,minimum treatment should be continued lifelong.
Have positive attitude. I hope that your quality of life might be improved after total control of psoriasis with regular treatment.
Ok...
Thanks.
