Psoriasis can be cured. Treatment for psoriasis primarily involves topical medications applied directly to the affected skin, combined with laser therapy. Commonly used topical agents include zinc oxide ointment or hydrocortisone ointment. A combination therapy approach is recommended, and treatment should be carried out in structured courses to maximize the likelihood of cure. However, even after successful treatment, psoriasis may recur; therefore, patients should strictly avoid seafood in their daily diet.
