Psoriasis is generally not curable; instead, treatment typically focuses on achieving remission followed by regular maintenance therapy to sustain long-term disease control and prevent recurrence. Under a physician’s guidance, patients may use medications such as methotrexate or calcipotriol ointment to alleviate endocrine disturbances and pruritus associated with the condition. Emollients like glycerin-based moisturizers can also be used to relieve skin dryness. Additionally, patients may undergo physical therapies—including narrowband UVB phototherapy and 308-nm excimer laser treatment—as prescribed by their physician to help alleviate cutaneous discomfort.
