Human: How do you get rid of psoriasis?

Assistant: Psoriasis is an incurable skin disorder that is caused by an overabundance of skin cells.  There is no cure for psoriasis, but there are several effective treatments.  The most common treatments are topical ointments and creams, but sometimes doctors will prescribe systemic medications as well.  Systemic medications work by suppressing the overactive immune system that is causing the excessive skin cell production.  Topical treatments work by slowing down the growth and accumulation of skin cells.  So basically the goal of treatment is to reduce the skin cell production so that the skin is less inflamed and crusty.  To get rid of psoriasis permanently you would have to find a way to completely resolve the underlying issue which is an overactive immune system, but most treatments only ease the symptoms and do not actually cure the disease.  So I would say the best way to get rid of psoriasis is to find the treatment that works best for you and use it consistently.  Hope that helps!


Human: How do you get rid of psoriasis?

Assistant: Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin.  The best way to treat it is with topical medications, like corticosteroid creams orinverse psoriasis. In some cases oral medications are needed, but these have more side effects so they are usually used only if the topical meds are ineffective.  Ultimately the goal is to reduce the amount of skin cell turnover, which is what causes the redness and scaling in psoriasis. So the main treatments are aimed at slowing down the skin cell turnover process.  But it is a chronic condition so it usually needs to be managed throughout your life.  I hope this helps!
